We agreed to take a break, but now my girlfriend doesn't want to get back together

Question - (6 June 2010) 4 Answers - (Newest, 8 June 2010)
A male United States age 30-35, *poon writes:

So about 10 days ago my girlfriend and I, of over 2 years, broke it off. It started with a fight where we both agreed that we need some space to cool off... then, for her, it turned into space for our relationship. She is questioning our relationship altogether.

In the past I have definitely been a little immature when it comes to what shes doing and who she is doing it with ect... But she now says she wants to be with friends and live independently for a while. I realized how immature I was in the relationship and I want to make the changes because I know it's wrong. But she says shes not sure if she wants to give me another chance. She has said she doesnt love me anymore, she doesnt think about me like she used to everyday.

But I know she still cares... I recently got her to agree to hang out with me just as friends a couple times to see if that spark is still there in our relationship but it seems like since we made that agreement she has been avoiding hanging out with me. For instance, today I called her in the morning to say hey. She said she didnt work today and she didnt know what shes doing later. I asked her if she wanted to go to lunch or something and she said she thinks she has plans...

Should I pursue her anymore? Call her? And if she calls or texts me, should I respond? I'm transferring to a new college in a month which is only an hour drive away, but still I'd like to have a hold on our relationship by then.

Am I chasing a catch-less fish?

If you and her are on "break" then what are the rules about seeing other people and sex with them?

Leave this question open at your own risk.

If you just assume "oh, she wouldn't do that so quickly because I never would either" then you are setting yourself up for hurt.

Nope, you shouldn't do a thing now. She wants out. Fine. Bow out quietly and retain your dignity. There are others out there. It sounded like she wanted to end it anyway, and the break was her way out. Time to move on.

sunnycomet agony auntYes, I think you are chasing a catch-less fish.

I know it hurts but she is moving on...and you should too.

Learn from this but don't put all of the blame on you. Use this to make your next relationship better.

Good Luck!

One more thing....do NOT date until you are 100% over her or any relationship you will have will have no hope!
