I am very sorry to say that if a girl or a guy ask for a break or for some time alone, it usually means they are planning a break up. Not in every case but I have been through that more than once. It was just the chicken way out, instead of just saying that they think we should break up. Sometimes a person needs time to figure out their feelings about a person. If they should stay with them or leave. Sometimes taking a break means there is either another girl or guy the are eyeing out. It just usually means bad news. But hang in there and if I was you, I would ask this person if they want to break up with you. It would save you alot of worry, confusion and wondering. No one should leave someone just hanging. I wish you the best, especially if you really care about this person. Good luck.

It should, if you don't agree with a "break", then you should be honest and ask him for a reason. Then, you'll have to decide whether or not it is a legitimate reason and/or if you're willing to accept it.
When my b/f started acting funny and saying he wanted a break, I agreed and amazingly was able to bottle my emotions when I heard he went on a date with another girl. I moked around for a few days then decided to go on a date myself(that I didn't even enjoy, because I was thinking about him), I actually seen him at the movies with some of our friends, and I could see the pain in his eyes. That was the moment he realized when a couple goes on a break, it does just apply to the person suggesting it. You'll see that most guys either don't think of these things before their decision of a break, or their pride becomes a factor that they didn't calculate right, or it's a desparate attempt to having their cake and eating it to. Whatever the case, he said that he couldn't call me soon enough to say that the break wasn't a good idea after all, and he doesn't want either of us to see other people anymore.
Someone told me once -What's good for the goose is good for the gander- not always true, but it sure sounds good, doesn't it?
If you decide to agree, you have to be strong, and pretend that you are ok with it. No matter how bad it kills you, don't let him know he is breaking your heart until after he begs for you back. Then you can tell him that he wasn't the only one suffering, so that he don't think you're too cold hearted.
But if doesn't ask for you back, at least you didn't give him any power, by thinking he had you wrapped around his finger. He doesn't deserve that kinda satisfaction. God forbid, if you get your heart broken, don't give up, it will get better and keep hope that there are good guys out there, that we'll loves us for who we are, and not need anything more.
The girl he had went on a date with turned out to be very ditsy and he said that he couldn't even carry on a conversation with her. Of course, I had to boast(just a little, don't ever over-do it, when dealing with their pride, sometimes that can be unforgivable)about my college football player date.
PS - Ex b/f's can have the same affect - because he knows that you are already comfortable with that person.
PSS - Sorry, bad advice - also remember to make your own rules, don't let him walk all over you, stay strong, and independent no matter what happens.
Good Luck

Taking a break means time to think about continuing after the break, or making a permanent break.
Taking a break and not using the break means having to take another break later.

It doesn't necessarily mean your breaking up maybe it means you want to see other people just to explore your options a little bit. Sometimes, you do need to take a break from each other just to figure where the relationship is heading and if your ready for the next step. It just doesn't mean your breaking up it means exactly what it is your just taking a break from each other for a while.

sounds like the episode on friends with Ross and Rachel. When you are on a break, yes you can screw around till the other person can finally realize what they want.

It depends....I think its the persons way of saying Ok you bore me and I want to see if there is anyone out there that doesnt bore me..Or it could be a good thing by if your apart and moving on with your lives and that person keeps coming back or not letting go, then you know you were ment to be together....hard question Good Luck

Taking a break is taking a break, its about some personal time & space to reassess your priorities...... Some people use this phrase to screw around...... if that's the case.... dump him
