I used taking a break as an excuse to get my own space.. But it was never to break up with my boy friend.. he just took it really badly.. Then cheated on me *shrugs* o well.. Breaking up is when u cleanly say, I son't think we should date or I think we should just be friends. Taking a break, in my eyes, is soo different then breaking up because I've had experience with those words and I'm still hurting :-) but you're okay. Just remember, no matter wat a guy says, he's only true if he marries u, and if there's a divorce, than the marriage was false ;-) Stupid test answers...

That's exactly how I see it.. when you decide to "take a Break" with someone, it's an easy way of saying, "Sayanara, Bitch!" It's RatheR said, and pathetic. HoweveR, often times, it *CAN* mean that they need to bReak up foR the time being... to simply expeRience otheR things... eitheR way.. it means it's oveR. =D

Taking a break doesn't officially break you up with the person...it is pretty much a nice way of saying give me some space. Breaking up is ending the relationship. Don't worry, I sometimes get them confused too! Hope I helped!

taking a break means that they were cheating on you and they want to spend time with that other person, duh.

Taking a break is usually when you need to take a break from each other, but you two aren't broken up or anything. You just need time away from each other, or you need to short things out, or whatever it may be, and until everything is okay then you two aren't on a break anymore. But, some people make the whole "I need a break" an easier way of breaking up with the other person. It just really depends on the person who is saying it I guess. Hope this helps you out.
