What "going on a break" really means

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.
