Blue Violet, you have to pick yourself up and not worry about this slight setback. Just look as it as an opportunity to do more by yourself or with your friends. If space is what he wants, then by all means...give him some freakin' space...but don't feel obligated to welcome him with open arms when he starts calling back. You can play that game too, don't return his calls, make yourself totally unavailable, got out and have the time of your life.
