my bad, then no. taking a break is wrong, especially if it's not yours.
if the break is initiated by the guy, he already has another girl. if it is initiated by the girl, she has already discussed the situation with her besties and is trying to dump the guy without hurting his feelings

if this is your situation i am truly sorry. thing is now you know, so take some time to collect yourself (you don't have to do that alone) and move on when you are ready. some people need to talk, others go at it alone, either way avoid DEPRESSION at all costs. let your closest friends tell you if you seem depressed and LISTEN to them. i guarantee i guarantee that this is not the end of the world (bulldog double guarantee - patent pending)

I know it's not the end of the world, it just sucks. He's a great guy and I can't be mad at him for being honest with me. I'd rather know now than find out later and be hurt even more. Been there, done that. I just have never had anything good come out of taking a break. It's the saying maybe...it's the slow no.

Breaks are great for people who just need time to themselves. As long as these people aren't in total isolation from the rest of the world.
Hope things get better for you and your situation.

girl if he wants to take a break from you than that boy just ain't right (thanks for that txsgal). you get three snaps in a "z" formation from me for being on the short end of the stick and still worried about someone else. that is so non-selfish, but like i said. now it's time for you. do what you want with who you want and how you want. be a little selfish and soon some handsome guy (probably from texas) will sweep you off your feet

Ha thanks guys! I know I'll be ok. And I knew I'd get honest feedback here....hence why I posted! Plus, timing has never been my strong suit...

Personally, I don't like the whole "let's take a break" idea. As Ese put it, the one who suggests it normally wants to date someone else. Or, they are not over the ex and they want to go back to them.

My feeling is that when this idea is agreed upon, then both parties must move on and date others. So, you do not want to sit back and wait to see what he does. Just going out and meeting people, or having some tea with a dude, or going out and playing a game of naked lazer tag with a dude is moving on. Enjoy life.

I will say this. More than likely, he will come back to you and talk about how he made a mistake. Now, if you decide you want to take him back or not, well that is your call. Just be honest with yourself and know what you want.

Well, the first rule of naked lazer tag is...to spread the word of it's existence. So, with that in mind, check out your local orgy houses, YMCA and Catholic Churches. You have to know the password though.......it's PASSWORD. But shhh! Don't tell.
