What "going on a break" really means

  • When's the right time to spill your feelings?
My boyfriend is always busy, and he never really has a chance to hang out. He texted me saying that we should "take a break" only because hes never free. What does that mean? Will he ever want to get back together? I miss him.


If your boyfriend wanted to hang out with you he would be hanging out with you. I could be wrong and he could actually be a very busy person. But, usually when someone stops making time for you and want to “take a break” it means he wants to break up with you, but doesn’t want to hurt your feelings.


There are two directions your situation could go. The first is that he really is busy and just needs some time to take care of his responsibilities before he can indulge in her personal life. If you think this is the case you should still remain close with him. Chat at school or maybe send him a friendly text every few days. Being a good friend to him will show him you still care.


The other direction that this situation could be going in is that he wanted to break up with you but still finds you to be a really nice person so he didn’t want to hurt your feelings. If this is the case you should probably keep your distance from him for a little while, just so you have time to cope with the break up. Once you are 100% sure you are over him you can begin to integrate him back into your life as a friend.


Ultimately you know your boyfriend better than any of us girl here at GL so you will need to gauge the sitch and take the steps in the direction that you think is most realistic. Good luck, girl!

So there is this guy, we dated like all year last year, it was on and off, but i found someone new. And now he is all that I think about and there are just nights where I text him and always tell him I;m sorry fro the mistakes i made. I feel like I shouldn't, but it is just hard to not think about him.

mod,my bf told me he thinks he loves me when he's only 12. feel it too,but not like as much as he,me.i told my mom and she said it was cute,but my dad might be mad.what do i do?

 

 Hey girl! Can you blame your b.f? Who doesn't love a G.L girl?? Your bf def likes you more than a friend and since you may the the first girl he's felt this way about he prob thinks its love. Be straight up with your bf and tell him how those three words made you feel. Let him know as nicely as possible please though! Good luck! xo, Erin M.

my bf of a year broke up with me last friday. No way am I over him yet. But my friend told me that he said that I overeacted when he broke up with me (i cried). But then my other freind (who i trust more) told me that he did care and was sad that I cried. So when I heard that, I thought I had a chance again with him. But I had my friend talk to him and he told her that he wouldn't go back out with me.I know why he broke up with me (i "forced" him to do things, which when I was told what he said those were they weren't true I didn;t think) and I'm really confused. What should I do?




I think that no matter how hard it is you need to work on getting over him. The relationship didn't work and he has made up his mind about not dating you anymore. Spend some time doing things for yourself for a while until you feel completely recovered from this relationship.

I was just wondering if you had any tips on long distance relationships??
Thanks Smile!

Hey girl,

Long distance relationships are tricky but not impossible! Try to stay in touch through more than texting and email and have real conversations when you can on Skype or on the phone. You can still keep each other a part of your lives without seeing each other in person -- communication is key!
