If you aren't sure what to call it anymore then maybe it is a good thing for the two of you to give each other some space so that you can both determine whether you still want to be in this relationship or not. It may be hard at first but it's better to take time apart and think than to continue to stay in a relationship that is not healthy for either of you.

If this is what's happening somethings wrong, I say leave her or start fresh. She's keeping something from you, its obviously important as she won't tell you.

Give her time whilst you're actively seeking to get with someone else. The first relationships are always hard, so it might be better for you to not take it so seriously if you sense that she isn't. Have fun, because she most likely will.

You're what most women hate. Not an asshole. Most women love assholes. It takes a few assholes to work them over good and really abuse them (mentally or physically) before they get the idea that an asshole is not the best thing for her, overall. Some women never get that idea.

Long term? She has gotten tired of waiting for you to grow some balls and start acting like a "man". You will have to start smacking this bitch around (the moment you found out she cheated on you would have been prime) or gather your manhood while you can and go find some other girl to get pushed around by.

There are 2 simple solutions to your personal problem though (you being a pussy, no offense, that's just what women see you as. You know, without a penis). You can start being an asshole or you can keep looking for a woman who has been with too many assholes and is ready to settle down with a "nice guy" (you).

Unfortunately the woman who do finally realize that an asshole is not what they want in life are usually older women. Doubly unfortunate is that these older women are not usually interested in younger guys, once they start looking for the "nice guy". Because to them, nice guys are reformed assholes, not nice guys who have yet to become assholes. That leaves you with the job of locating one of these older women who are willing to give a younger "nice guy" a chance. Or finding the rarest of rare, a young lady who already can appreciate a nice guy.

Either way, you've got a tough road ahead. Good luck.

Just don't contact her. Give her the space she wants. If she finds that she misses you she'll running back to you. If not then you need to forget it. I know it's hard but you have to just stay away from her and keep yourself busy with other things. You can go from Boyfriend to "creepy stalker" faster than you can say whiplash. Girls have a different way of thinking fair or not and we as guys have to jump through the hoops.

Also don't try to make her jealous, contact her friends, email her, write love notes to her, promise you'll change or anything else. No contact having anything to do with her will make your chances of her coming back to you increase, say how much you miss her/love her. Oh and don't get over emotional and text her that you want to break up w/her. Right now she is on the border and that will just push her over to the other side. Just try to forget about it and don't do anything about her until she contacts you.

Answerer Don't know why I got marked down but thanks for the mark up who ever you are! I mean am I really that wrong? This stuff comes from experience. I've gone out with probably around 30 girls in my life time two of which have been long term (2+years). I've ended all but the two long term relationships and those were because the girls were too scared of commitment (OK the world can end, A guy actually complained about commitment! ) - 3 months ago

In order to win a girl's heart, you have to make her believe that you're the right person for her. Sometimes, giving her the space she asks for gives you a chance to demonstrate how understanding you can be. You're going to have to be patient and see how she behaves after some cooling off. My hunch is that she may not be right for you. But live and learn, plenty of fish in the sea.

You can't do anything but give her the space. If I were you, I'd give it to her and go out and have some fun. Space goes both ways. :)
