It only lasted for a month, now my girlfriend isn't sure she wants a boyfriend?

A male age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I just got out of a relationship with my girlfriend of a month or so. I'm in college and we began our relationship kind of suddenly a few weeks before Christmas break. She lives about four hours from me so we didn't see each other at all over the break. We had been close friends for a few months when things started heating up sexually and after a few weeks we got into a relationship. Nothing was real serious between us but there was defiantly a spark on both sides. For the first few weeks or so of the break everything was going well with texts of "I miss you baby" and the like. Then right after new years she calls me and says that she wants to break up. She thinks that we rushed into things too quickly and wanted to step back and just date for a while before anything got to the relationship point. She also said that she didn't know if she wanted a boyfriend right now and some of her friends have said the same. I want to give her space so she can figure. She text me numerous time a day but acts awkwardly towards me in public. Should I continue to pursue her romantically to get her back or should I go back to be just being a friend to her? If I do pursue it romantically how should I go about it?
