It might mean having chronic bad breath or poor hygenic skills (BO). Then getting closer could cause you to push them further away.

Been there and done that. We backed off one step further than that, we're not technically 'dating' at the moment but we're still seeing eachother a few times a week. This is more often than we had at times during our relationship. Weird how these things work out. We're actually becoming better friends which can only help when the relationship picks back up. We both know how the other feels but the 'space' is making us stronger in this instance.

People usually request space in a relationship when they are feeling smothered or perhaps they think things are getting a little too serious/complicated. You should talk with your girlfriend to be certain what she wants from the relationship before you just dump her. Good luck.

no don't dump her, she needs just what she said space, my girl friend is the same way, her ex- used to beat her up everyday, raped her if she did not give him sex daily, and so on , it takes time for a woman to learn to trust a man, and they do need their time and space, do not rush her and abouve all be as understanding as you can, she will fall in love again but it must be at her time not yours, belive me it will work much better this way, good luck and please hang in there when she sees that you are not like the other guys she has dated she will be there forever.

We have to balance our lives and devote time to many things.
Space usually means having time on your own.
If you are in a relationship and have kids you will need to balance your time between you and the kids, you, your partner and kids, you and your partner, your job and you yourself.
Trouble it is not simple and straightforward. We tend to spend too much time on one or more of these things.
If you are in the "dating game" then needing space means that the relationship is not as serious as you think it is and the other person doesn't want to spend all their time with you. Or they are not sure what they want.

no you dont have to dump her yet, sometimes they want space for a good reason not necessarily to hurt you. so you need to sit with her and tell her something like, i know you said you want space but i am not sure what kind of space you need, i need you to tell me why you need space so that i understand what is going on and that way i know what kind of space to give you. and if she says she cant tell you why, then tell her that if it has to do with you you need to know its only fair that you know what is going on so that you can do what you feel is necessary, maybe when you find out why she wants it you might want your own space from her or even leave her. either way you have to sit and talk with her to find out what you need to know. good luck,

They either need time to evaluate the relationship and find out whether or not it is worth continuing, or it's a nice way of dumping you.

You could be asking for too much from them, or they are just not that emotionally available right now. In either case, it is usually a sign to leave them alone. They are not available to you. This could change in the near future, but for now - no go.

Usually when people want space, they start acting differently toward you (even if you give them space). Things just start getting weird...If she starts acting weird, I would say dump her.
