What does this mean...?


Question Posted Saturday August 14 2004, 1:56 pm

Ok my boyfriend and me had been going out for about...2 months...we had been pretty close friends for like 5 months before that. Well, he really was a sweet guy, but I kinda cheated on him with this dude...well not exactly, the guy kissed me. anyways, my boyfriend forgave me. but today he was like, "i think we should take a break. im not breaking up with u exactly, but i just think we should take a break for a while. i will probably want to get back with you in the near future." what do i do? wait for him??? im just confused right now.

there are two sides to this: 1) he needs a break to sit down and think things over. u kinda did betray him (in a way) so give him some time. if u guys are close, then u will be fine. 2) what happened really hurt him and he is trying to figure out way of getting through it. could be by eventually breaking it off. but u have to realize that u owe it to him to give him some time to think things through. u just have to sit back and wait and hope for the best.

.:*Well first off yooh did cheat on him cause no matter what. IT TAKES 2 PEOPLE TO KISS! But maybe this is for the best. Or maybe yooh should sit down & talk to him. Ask him what all this means. & if yooh think yur in luv. Then yooh should wait up. But if not...Then maybe it's not meant to be. I hope the best for yooh. Luv yooh BuNcHeS like Cap'n crUnChEs.*:.

well maybe in theres someone else he might have some feelings for.. OR maybe hes just not wanting to spend TONS of time with you. i would ask him what he means exactly, that way you know what your options are. If hes wanting to explore diffrent people then you should to. Why wait? hes turning you down right? -aMaNdA<3*

I know how he feels, even though I'm a girl because I did that to my ex.. In my case, I really was in love with him.. like.. totally completely, I fell into a hole, and until now, I can't get out, all b/c I said the same words ur boyfriend did. Girl, it would break my heart, and his SURELY, if u didn't wait. My advice to u is that if u really like him, just wait for him.. Keep the door open until he really does tell u to close it, or else u may lock it forever from both sides.. Keep love alive!
Tell me how things turn out!

In this type of situation, good communication is absolutely key. You need to talk to him about what exactly this 'break' means so that you are both on the same wavelength and expecting the same things, i.e. does he expected you to not see other people during this period? If you want to stay with him, you need to stick within the boundaries he sets during this period. However, you should also be using this break to think about your relationship - do you want to get back together with him in the first place?<p>

The problem with being on a break is that it can turn into relationship limbo, where you are neither together or broken up, which prevents either of you moving on. This might not happen, but I think it's important to have a line set in your head where if you aren't back together as a couple by a certain point, you need to actually break up. But hopefully that won't happen and this break will be useful for you both. Good luck. :)

Sort of wait for him. Don't go all out and sit by the phone until he calls. Go out and hang out with people and if something comes along, go for it! I wouldn't go out looking for something else, but I wouldn't avoid something if it came along either.

Don't "wait foR him" necessaRily. When people take a "bReak", they geneRally want to exploRe some moRe options and see what else is out theRe. You shouldn't sit at home eveRynight thinking about him and awaiting his phone calls. You should be out theRe havin' fun and tRying diffeRent things. This means you can fliRt with guys, and even go out on dates and not feel bad about it, because theRe's no Reason to. And usually, the best way to test "love", oR deteRmine if it IS "love", is to go out theRe and kind of be with someone else, to see if the one you'Re on "bReak" with Really is that special!! Best wishes!! Hope I helped!! =D

if he fools around with other girls, then i think you should be able to also. it sounds like from what youe described that he still likes you, but maybe is trying to see what else is out there, or doesnt want to be involved with anyone right now. don't wait for him.

dont wait, if i were u i'd go have fun and be with other guys...heck, why be with them just DATE...u dont exactly have a bf...ur just kinda seeing eachother, that way if u really like this guy when he comes back around then go for him...but if it seems he wont be comming back for a long time then forget him...he might come back to u in the long run...maybe he's afraid something will happen with u and another guy again when u and him are going out
