Is there a chance with this, or do I go for a clean break?

In some cases a little time off from each other is good. Sometimes a little distance helps. Maybe what your ex was feeling was a little entrapped and questioning herself if there's more to life. Maybe some of the things that use to occur while you were dating stopped. Being flirtatious doesn't always mean you're cheating or looking for another someone... sometimes its just to bring a little excitement. I totally agree with you with not wanting to be with someone who's not into you 100%. What you need to do is talk to each other and find out what excitement is missing. I think the whole concept is just the lost of passion, motivation and excitement.

You will be the only one who truly knows what position you're in with this young lady and hence be able to push and talk more directly to her if you're willing to make a serious conversation about your relationship.

Well I think that she's a little unsure of herself and what she wants to do right now. I don't think that you did anything wrong, but from the sounds of things she's not quite ready to commit to a real relationship. you could or you may not be just wasting your time with her. If you truly love this person then stay away from her for a little while and then show back up, that little while will go by slowly for her and she will think about you and how you two used to be. After that chances are she will come back and admit she was wrong.

Okay, so if she is the one telling you that she needs the break it is more than likely because she doesn't want to hurt your feelings....My boyfriend was the one that told me that we needed a break....after a while I said then stop going on about it and just do it.... The next day his best friend came up to me and told me that the only reason he said that he wanted a break was because he didn't want to be with me anymore.....I felt like SHIT afterwards.. Why don't you just ask her what her deal is and tell her that you love her and feel like there is no one else that makes you feel the way she makes you feel....I know this is going to sound weird but show her your sensitive side...Trust me all girls love it when the guy shows them their sensitive side....I should know.... Well Hun..... GOOD LUCK, HOPE ALL GOES WELL, Please take my advice, it should really work for you. And another thing you could do is go talk to one of her friends about what you should do..sometimes that works because they always hang out and know the ins and outs... GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!

Well maybe she just needs time to think about where she wants to go with the relationship first... just give her some space to think. also it isn't a bad thing that you two still talk because that means you could still have a chance with her just don't let her get to far. also if you really love her you won't go off and flirt to much with another girl but if you don't want your ex back go ahead and fall hard.

I've been in your situation before. I broke up with my boyfriend about 2 years ago because I had doubts and wanted to see what else was out there. I attribute this to him being my first boyfriend and not having had further experience in relationships.When we got back together for another 2 years, he wasn't the same guy and I had a hard time trusting him. Needless to say, he broke up with me last week. If you want my honest opinion, I think that you should give her time and space. Give her a chance to miss you and remember all of your good qualities. If you force yourself upon her, it may push her away even more. On the other hand, I feel like you really need to assess whether you truly want to be with her or not, or if you are just attached to her/this is your bruised ego talking.If she does ask to get back together, would you be able to handle not knowing what she did while you were broken up? I personally don't believe in breaks, because it causes trust issues in the relationship (if you get back together), which you seem to already have. Hope this helps!

I dated a British girl for two and a half years and then the same thing occurred. I think we both knew it wasn't going to work out and this was the way that we went about it. Either way, if you've been dating seriously for two years, it's not bad to take a little time off and just experience what is out there. The last thing that you want is to get engaged or married to someone and THEN have these feelings.

The best thing, which is the hardest thing, is if you love her, to be supportive and understanding. She's probably confused and going through a hard time. It's not the easiest thing to do, that being to suck it up and try to be the best possible friend to her, but that's what I did and what I recommend. Then again, I'm 25, living alone in the middle of Alaska while all three of my serious girlfriends from college are in now long relationships. So maybe I'm not the best person to listen to :)

Either way, stay strong, take solace with your friends and family, and try to be as understanding and reassuring to her as you possibly can be. That you guys will be friends regardless of what happens. That's what I told my ex. That I wanted her in my life regardless of what happened. We are still close (even though I'm not crazy about her current boyfriend, hehe)

Had the same issue, and going through the same thing bro. The best thing to do, or what I have done anyways, is just keeping occupied. Go out with your buddies, try not to think about her. I know how stupid it sounds, but I started playing more hockey. But that's one of my major hobbies and it's been helping me get over her. You gotta just try to make it a clean break.

Either get back with her ,or ,if you know it's not gonna work,make a clean break,dude. I went through that,myself. I screwed her once in a while,but all it did was hurt me more because you're constantly wondering if she'll call that night.Then ,when she didnt,you'd be miserable. At least I was. Thank God I lived to tell about it.lol. Make the clean break,bro, or else.....Good luck
