That's like asking, "How do I bring this dead person back to life? I think he just needed a nap."
You are deluding yourself. Your relationship is dead. The guy flat out told you that he was in love with someone else, not you. What more do you want? He obviously needs more than just a little space. He wants a clean break. At least he had the decency to tell you the truth, hard as it is to swallow.
Sorry, but this ship has sailed. Even if you could get him back, would you want him? Who wants to convince someone to stay with them? Don't you prefer a mate who wants to be with you? I do. I don't even want a dog who doesn't want to be with me, like my dog Ginger, who keeps climbing the fence and running away. I want to take her back to the pound, but my wife won't let me. Anybody here need a dog?
Let's say you somehow talked your man into coming back to you. How long do you think he would stay? I'd say about a week, maybe two if you're lucky. Clearly the relationship wasn't working out, or he wouldn't have found someone else or even been open to the idea of dating another woman.
It's over. Move on. Find someone who wants to be with you instead of trying to convince someone who doesn't.
If he still had any feelings for you or had any hope of rekindling what he once felt for you, I don't think he'd be telling you that he has feelings for another. I agree with Cary. Take your man at his word and accept what he has told you. Apparently, he is no longer "your" man. It's time for a fresh start for him and for you. Dragging it out by trying to convince him to come back to you will only make it more painful for you.
Do NOT hold out for this guy...he neither wants or deserves it. Take this time to heal yourself, lick your wounds and move on. Cary is right, why waste your time on wanting someone who clearly does not want you? Please allow yourself to understand that you deserve more from a partner and that you are worth the time and effort that a relationship calls for. Connie is spot on; dragging this out WILL be more painful for YOU...so do yourself a favor and accept that it is over.
What breed of dog?
AAAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAH Cary....that part about bringing the dead person back?! I busted out laughing for a good 30 seconds. You had me at hello.
Your only hope of having anything with this man ever again will be as FWB, but I think we all know how that would work out. It would merely be a means to an end for you, receiving the physical connection that you want, but nothing else. You would be left with the memories of your past relationship, ever wanting more, while he would be emotionally detached and only using you as a booty call. FWB is definitely not the way to go, and so long as he is in a relationship with the new woman, you would be the "other woman." Your relationship is over. Move on.

"How do I bring this dead person back to life? I think he just needed a nap."
That was so funny !!! I am still laughing..
Love the wise assedness
just want to say the LADIES when we complain about guys just stopping contact or being vague & not giving a proper break & this guy did! I congratulate him & say thank you on behlaf of all women for being a man
I had a girlfriend like this once, needless to say the only things I got from the situation was a restraining order for her, and a scar across my back from where she threw a brick through my front window.
Let it go...
