(girls only please) what does a break really mean?

that means she needs her distance.. .time to evaluate HER life, and think about things.. maybe shes not happy, and maybe shes just seeing if its better with or without you... do not ask her what she thought about while you guys were on this "break " though... those are her personal thoughts, and dont invade her space or pester her... let it be, and if she truly wants you, you will be together again...
