Hey so basically me and my ex went out for 3 years then broke up! It was really depressing but her reason because she has lost the feeling like she used to for me and other small things.
After the break up, the next day everything was still okay. I drove to her house a new next few days to talk my heart out to her, basically I was asking her to give me a second chance. She replied "it's still a short time and you already asked for a second chance and told me to give her more time" Then in a next two or three days, I started talking back to her because she thought I didn't want to be "friend" with her, but I kind of realized that I was bothering her. She asked me to give her more time because she's still upset that I came over and asked for a chance. She clearly want to say that she just wants to focus on school right now. She is stressed with all everything around her family and school work. She still wanted to be friend with me so I said "okay..." Later on, we had to do a same homework and I had no idea why I asked her to go to my cousin's birthday with everyone else. At first she said she is busy with all the work but later she realized it's a date with everyone else. She said "She will keep her mind about it", but I just told her "It is okay if you can't make it" because it seems like I was pressuring her. From that time till now, she totally ignore me and we walk past by each other without saying "hi" or anything. She now seems like having her own world working and working at school all the time. Sometimes I feel like she wants to start talking to me but I just don't feel like bothering her again, so I ignore her as well.
Now please tell me what to do? I feel like I did everything to get her back or as a boy friend. Will she ever think about it because now I has given her all the space and time she asked for.

Additional Details
Update: my ex didn't really say that she lost the feeling for me. A few weeks before she said if we spent less time together, we could have done others things. She felt like she stole me from everyone and changed me a lot. However, she felt guilty because she doesn't listen to my opinion sometimes and turned me down. That feeling building up and that's why we had a few conversations before the break up happened. At the day I came over to her house, she held my hand and talked like normal. I asked that whether she still have the feeling for me? She said she still cares for me as a friend. I asked will you consider me in a future because I know you would change your mind and go back to me instantly. She said "yes, I will". But the next day she just so different to talk.
At this point, I want to give her own space and do her things. She is busy at school all the time. I myself are changing to be better. From the way I acting, dressing up more, I go socializing more and more with people l

One thing you have to understand about females, we hate hurting anyone. It's much easier for us to say "Give me some space, and let's stay friends", then to admit that we want to break up, and want to move on. Giving someone hope is less hurtful in our minds, but men hear those words and think they still have a chance, when they really don't.

It sounds like she finally realized that you want more than friendship, that you're not willing to accept just being friends. She's gone to no contact hoping that you'll get the hint without her actually having to tell you it's over and there's no chance.

So I'll do you a favor and tell you what she's too afraid to tell you. The relationship is over. She doesn't want to date you any more. She's gone to no contact, and you should do the same. Forget about winning her back, she's already gone.

Alty is spot on. She makes it a habit.

There is no future for this relationship.
That is also my opinion.

To "win" her back could end up
Being the biggest loss you ever get.

Lose your pride, dignity, self respect
To win back more pain?

Go NC and begin to heal.
You keep the wounds open with imagined hope.

I know the feeling , and what made it go away
Was staying away.

Yes,you have to accept that this is over and you should go no contact so that you can heal from the breakup.

Maybe you can be friends somewhere in the future but for now start thinking about you and your moving on.

Her feeling HAVE changed, but she was being nice about it, but make no mistake, it is over, and its time to heal and regroup, and stop pestering her.

Sorry guy. But you have to move on.
