that's a temporary break up or a person to chicken to actually break up with you but hopes the space between you will make it easier for the relationship to dissolve. It's just another way out without saying you want out. There's no such thing as a break in a relationship, you either together or you're not, the only "breaks" I believe in is breaking up. So technically this guy has broken up with you/put you on the sideline to see if he even wants to continue the relationship or not. Breaks/separation is never a good thing, it does nothing for a relationship cause when you're a part it makes it easier to emotional disconnect from someone the longer you're together. So I would just say eff it and break up completely.

that they want a break. not talk for awhile to clear their mind and think thinks over. maybe calm down for a bit. i think breaks are dumb though makes me feel like someone else is on the side and things aren't working out with them so they go back to me when it fails. so i don't do breaks it's either we talk it out and make it work or no.
Pretty much yes. If someone needs time out from you decide if they want you then yeah not a good sign at all. Nobody would feel the need to take a break from someone they are in love and happy with.
It's a break, taking time away from each other. Never forget to talk about the rules of it before you go ahead with it though. I'd say it's very important. Like if it's allowed to see others during that time or be intimate. Lots of people have sex with others during the break and most of the time it ruins the relationship when the break is over. Most people expect their partners to be still faitfhul when they haven't even talked about it. That's what I'd expect myself as well but better mention it. Just break up if you're not gonna respect the relationship. Then again some people might be ok with it, too. So, yeah, communication...

I think it could mean if things are getting serious they need time to think about whether or not they are ready or it could be a way of making a potential breakup easier. I am by no means an expert, just my opinion.
It's a easier and more gentle way to break up. Just being honest.
Yes.
