What does it mean when your girlfriend says she needs a break to figure some stuff out, but insists that she still loves me???
-and I know she does love me....does she intend to get back together?

She's looking for a safe, unhurtful way to tell you that she wants to split. Chances are she's wanting to try things out with someone else (but she doesn't want you to know this), then if things don't work out with the other guy; she always has faithful and waiting you to come back to. Tell her to go ahead and figure her stuff out, but don't expect for you to wait around. You don't need that kind of hurt.

She might. She is probably trying to figure out if you are the best guy for her or if she should try her luck elsewhere. I don't know how old u are, how long you've been together, or your long term plans, but when I told my bf the same thing, it was because I wasn't geting the level of commitment that I wanted. I wanted to take the relationship to the next step, and he was stalling, which made me second guess our future, or if we had one at all. Since you know she loves you, I wouldn't worry about another guy or anything. Just take an honest look back at your relationship and try to recognize a turning point. Once you figure it out, talk to her about it (when she feels comfortable) and tell her you realize your mistakes and you want to fix it. Then all you have to do is do it.

Honestly, the sad truth is that if your girl has temporarily broken up with you using the "figure some stuff out" statement, it's usually permanent. In a relationship both partners may occassionaly feel that they need to "step away" for a moment to gather their thoughts and remember themselves. But, that usually involves going for a drive or going out with a friend for a couple of hours. If a girl actually breaks up with you for this reason, it usually means that she is feeling bored or smothered in the relationship and she either wants to be single for a while or wants someone new. But, if you truly had a great relationship maybe some time away will make her realize what she gave up and she may miss you and come back. But, if I were you, I'd hesitate to take her back because instead of discussing whatever was bothering her with you, her partner, she chose to run away. And she will probably do it again.

Some things to consider...how old is she? If she is young she is probably going through a lot of changes. People don't really see the changes they go through until they look back, like from age 30. Tastes change. Love can remain forever. Only you and her know why she needs or wants a break. If you are spending a lot of time together and she is feeling smothered, that could be all it is. As difficult and hurtful as this is, I would try not to speculate on why until you get some facts. You will drive yourself nuts! My best to you.

My question for you is: How old is she?
Gals in their early twenties do a 360 degree turn. They change so much from 19 to 23. In my mind, there is no reason to wonder if she will stay with you at that age. Don't worry about it.
Live your life, and be ready for a back up plan if she dumps you.
Now, if she is older than that, she may be more predictable.
24-29, they are involved in their jobs.
30 and over, they are thinking more about lasting relationships.

It means that she wants some breathing room, some time to herself to think it out. It doesn't mean anything terrible. She loves you so she probably will still consider you as a boyfriend. What do you mean get back together? When implying she wants breathing room, she wants it and not anything else - like breaking up!

She probably wants to make sure that you know that she still loves you, but she needs a break from you. If this is right then yea she will get back with you. Thanks for the points, Good Luck!

I don't know she might try to get back with you or she might just be trying to let you down easily but most likely she is telling the truth she loves you and she probably want to be with you
