My advice would be to be honest. Take time for each other to grow as individuals. When you give him his space, he will probably miss you and your relationship and connection will grow. There should be a balance between how much space to give. Let him know you're there for him and care for him. Assure him you're there if he needs you, but don't give him so much space that he feels you don't even care anymore. When he tells you he wants to be alone or something , be humble about it and give him the necessary space and I'm sure he'll appreciate you a lot more for listening to his needs.
