    When a girl says "I need time to think, blah, blah, blah - let's take a break" is it better to just do exactly as they say, or if you think that thinsg were left unsaid, or statemenst were taken out of context is it worth it to send an e-mail & try to set the record straight?

    If they're the kind of girl that LIKES being pursued, wouldn't they then lose interest if all of a sudden you just say "screw it, ill give her time" and then not contact them?

    This sucks.

    Actually, that's just her p***y way of saying she wants to end it, but just doesn't have the guts to do it.

    At least in my experience...

    LET IT BE

    When I find myself in times of trouble
    Mother Mary comes to me
    Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
    And in my hour of darkness
    She is standing right in front of me
    Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
    Let it be, let it be.
    Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

    And when the broken hearted people
    Living in the world agree,
    There will be an answer, let it be.
    For though they may be parted there is
    Still a chance that they will see
    There will be an answer, let it be.
    Let it be, let it be. Yeah
    There will be an answer, let it be.

    And when the night is cloudy,
    There is still a light that shines on me,
    Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
    I wake up to the sound of music
    Mother Mary comes to me
    Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
    Let it be, let it be.
    There will be an answer, let it be.
    Let it be, let it be,
    Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

    Agreed.

    The best thing you can do is give her the space she wants and maybe she will start to miss you. If not, you're a free man!

    Brother, it's over. I've used that line with some of my women before. Basically, what it accomplishes is that it spreads their agony out over a period of time, instead of one crippling blow dealt to them if you were to say "I'm ending it now."

    the best thing you can do is start going out with other chicks and make sure she knows it, but indirectly. she did the breaking up so don't take any ****e from her about how could you be so insensitive.

    At least you didn't hear "It's not you, it's me"...

    Your toast, however, I don't see the harm in emailing her and finding out what went wrong...However, she may be the type that likes being pursued and reassured, but you won't know unless you ask...

    Send her a thank you card for all the maintenance and offer a free lube.

    You can check the "What's in the CD player" thread for some nice blues tunes, cause it's over.

    Here's a good start...

    All My Love In Vain

    I followed her to the station with a suitcase in my hand
    And I followed her to the station with a suitcase in my hand
    Well it's hard to tell it's hard to tell, when all your love's in vain
    All my love's in vain

    When the train rolled up to the station, I looked her in the eye
    When the train rolled up to the station, and I looked her in the eye
    Well I was lonesome I felt so lonesome, and I could not help but cry
    All my love's in vain

    When the train it left the station, 't was two lights on behind
    When the train it left the station, 't was two lights on behind
    Well the blue light was my blues and the red light was my mind
    All my love's in vain

    Ooh... (vocalized verse)
    All my love's in vain

    Robert Johnson

    You've got some soul-searching to do. Figure out what you're comfortable with and run with it. You can either take her for her word and move on or you can go chasing after her, playing into whatever insecurities you both possess.

    Any time someone uses that line, its usually them, and not you.

    If this is the case, she's insecure and has a real need to find the reassurance that, for whatever reason, you can no longer provide. I can't deal with insecure people. If that's what you want, then knock yourself out.

    Exactly.

    One of my ex-girlfriends was horribly ill for about a week before she gave me the "let's take a break" speech, and it turns out she was only sick because she was too damn nervous/scared/p***y to break up with me.

    Next time she calls you get another girl to answer your phone and to tell her you're busy and can't talk right now.
    like biggie says "I don't chase em I replace em."

    i'm sorry man. but it is over. The I need time to think, lets take a break is just her way of saying it is over. best thing to do is forget her and go on with your life. maybe she will begin to miss you. But don't wait for it. Just go out with other girls. and have fun enjoy your freedom, it is over before you know it. and you will be with a better girl.

    Rocketman95 is correct.

    More specifically, I believe that she absolutely wants to break up with you, but does not want to tell you the real reason why. This could be for one of two reasons:

    1) She doesn't want to make it any harder on you than it already is. You're already going to get a shot to your ego from getting dumped, but it would hurt even more if she gave you specific reasons why you're getting dumped.

    OR

    2) She's ashamed of the real reason (i.e. she has an interest in someone else).

    Sadly, it seems that, almost all of the time, it's scenario number 2).

    do not do what macalu said. Just put it behind you and move on.
