From being friends on Facebook, late night conversations, coffee dates, to suddenly having private messages on seen-zone. Then you’re back at flirting again, and finally- ghosts you. Typical guys are talented in giving butterflies in the stomach and bewildering our feelings- real quick. Are there instances or scenarios where he had to call it quits?

“We need to talk.”
This line has been used enormously by men who want to break-up. The invitation to talk without citing the reason sends you jitters. Now you’re left agonizing over the thought that there’s nothing wrong and “we were just happy yesterday at our dinner, what happened?” and “what have I done wrong.”

“I just need some space—on my own”
Come on. What space?
Asking for some space in a relationship is another soft way of saying, let’s break-up. Space can mean no communication in the coming days, weeks, months, or sometimes years. Some would say a little space can help foster the relationship, but to some, asking for space is asking for growth “alone”.

“One day, you will meet someone who will make you really happy, and he’ll be the luckiest to have you.”

It’s probably not him, and at this vulnerable moment, you might end up thinking that something is wrong with you.
