If you are on a "break" then you shouldn't see each other because then it's not a break. I would say if you are totally in love with this person, or used to be then I wouldn't date anyone else. Because that will only come back to hurt both of you when you get back together. You should definitely be clear with your partner on what you're expecting from the "break". Set boundaries, or else the other person might think it's OK to date. Just let the other person know what you're comfortable with.
If it is meant to be, you will end up together. But remember relationships are always something you work at, and they are never perfect.

A break technically means for a short period of time you wont be dating. It's a break.
Anyhow, the rules you follow are set up by you and him, depending on if you want to see other people or not, you should discuss that with him. I think going on "A" date with other people is fine, and will help you realize how you really feel about him, even going out with a couple of friends once in a while will help you.
In all reality, the best way to realize if you still love each other is time. At least 2 weeks should be a good time limit for a break, depending if you still hang out or not (it'd be best if you kept your distance for a while).
Anyhow, hope the best comes out for you.

I've had a break.
My break consisted of being allowed to flirt with people and kiss them even, but not go out with anyone or do anything extreme.
The best idea you can get about what you should or shouldn't do is ask the other half what they've plan to do/not do during the break, then you can copy, because you shouldn't be able to do wrong if you do as they do.

There are no rules. A break in just a nice way to say I wanna try out other people to see if you're as good. So do what you need to do. If you wanna go and sleep arround go ahead but make sure you don't turn out to be a player.

Personally, there is no "break"...
There is the "i want to see if I can snag a better piece of *** without giving up on this sure thing" but when the other person finds a new piece before you it all gets complicated and then you feel like they've cheated on you, huh?
Trust me when I say there is no break. There is just an unwillingness to completely let go of the sure thing while you look for something new...

You should ask him what he considers as a "break", and whether or not you should see other people. There are no rules, so you both need to come to an understanding regarding dating other people.

If you're on a "break" there's not a whole lot of love there anyway. If there were the 'forever' type of love in your situation, you would know, because the thought of a "break" would have devestated you and you would be in shambles right now. If you can find it in yourself to even CONSIDER dating someone else, then it's time to move on.

it depends on a few factors #1 is who initiated the break if it was him well are you sure it wasn't a nice way to completely end the relationship..as far as seeing other people that is something you would have to discuss with him to see where you guys stand on that issue and it is pretty much up to you and him whether you want to go out together while you are on your break if you feel that you do want to go out together then maybe u already have your answer as to whether you want to be together..if you didnt love each other or want to be with each other then you probably wouldnt want to spend time together if you didnt have to..

I'm in the same boat, and I have more questions than answers, I'm afraid. How can we work things out when, because of the physical separation, there's little or no opportunity for real communication? I find myself, on the one hand, wanting to work things out, and on the other wanting a clean break for my sanity. I hope you can work things out for the best. Good luck!

a break is about having a break from each other. this means not seeing eachother. then later on at the end of the break you will find out if you missed eachother and need eachother or your better without eachother.
