Razhie answered Tuesday December 19 2006, 5:07 pm: I would agree with you that ‘taking a break’ is pretty much equivalent to ‘breaking up’ even if it is only for a while, but honestly dear it doesn’t matter what the hell you and I think those words mean. The relationship is between her and the boy, not you. You don’t get to help define it. Only they have a say in that.
They can label this period in their relationship ‘an agreement on the provisional cessation of affections and courting’ for all I, or you, ought to care.
Give your friend a break and don’t argue with her about semantics and the words she uses. Instead, support her through what is actually happening and the thoughts she has about it. Only time will tell if this is a temporary state or a permanent one for their relationship. Arguing about this with one of her friends is pointless and hurtful at a time when what she really needs is some understanding. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]

"Taking a break" is where you just don't feel like being in a relationship at the moment and, well, you just need a break from him/her. You aren't detatched completely, you're just not physically seeing each other, even though you're still dating. Usually, there is a set time....for example, you might say to your boyfriend, "let's take a break for a week." [ TheHeadHonchoPoncho57's advice column | Ask TheHeadHonchoPoncho57 A Question ]

Taking a break is whenever.. well, you take a break. It's just whenever some people feel they might not be sure if they want to be in a relationship at the moment, or they're not sure how they feel about the person, so they just want to take a ltitle break for awhile and re-think their feelings and see where it goes from there, and if they want to continue dating them or not.
A break up is whenever you're totally over with, and you don't want to date the person anymore for whatever reason, lost feelings, etc. So a break is temporary ( then could turn permanent or not ) whereas a break up is just full-on over with.
