This can be tricky. You need to be patient and open (and i know that can be extremely frustrating) \n\nI'd say start by calling her once a day. Just to check in. This shows that you're thinking of her, and you care about her. But if shes busy or if she just doesnt want to talk (dont take it personally, this break might not have much to do with you) then she has the option. \n\nWhat gets frustrating about this is it puts the ball in her court. You have to wait for her to decide when she doesnt need space anymore. I know that sounds unfair. And it is, but thats what comes with taking a break. \n\nIf you really care about her, be gentle, be patient. Hang in there. \n\nAnother thing I would suggest is to find out how much of a break this is. (This is a hard subject to bring up... maybe wait a week or so and see if you can determine how serious it is before you ask) If she wants to date other ppl, then you need to know that. But if she wants to be with you and just needs time to think about what she wants from your relationship, then its a different story (for an example, watch Friends... the Ross and Rachel fight)\n\nPlay off of her. If she calls and is still very friendly, then be open and happy about it. It will help her find what shes looking for from the break. But if you dont hear much from her, just check in with her, but keep up with your own life. Make sure youre still going out with friends and having fun without her.

We always find something wrong with whatever situation we're in- your boyfriend sounds like he needs some room/latitude to check out things. Don't suffocate him. He probably loves you very much but right now is feeling constrained by the relationship. Best thing you can do is let him know you love him and allow him some opportunity do what he wants. It maybe doesn't seem fair, but it's a chance for you to do some thinking/living for yourself ,too. It is said ,"Set it free and if it's real, it'll return to you sooner or later". That's what good love is- trusting, enduring, and patient as well as self-sacrificing.

I think you should give her her space for a while, all the time being there for her.  She'll warm up to you and move on from her old bf eventually.  Plus, comfort  her about her feelings, and don't put much pressure on her choosing.

It depends why you moved ? If one of you needed space , then no .As that is an waking call . If it was because of money then yes because it's hard at first to get things in order .Enjoy dating each other .Too many people jump into Relationship just to feel not alone .Being with someone once in awhile is perfect for some people .It's nice to think about someone and look forward to seeing them ,instead of everyday unless you've decided to get married .Then hopefully you'll keep the smile each day when returning home .

Sounds like you are trying to read someone Else's mind, unless you know more than you say. "We need to talk" could mean she wants you to take out the garbage to I have a confession to I really love you and, yes, to I need more space. Don't let it eat you up with worry. Be a man and stand up tall. Also, one problem you have right off the bat is indecision. Women do not like that ALL the time. Only you can agree or disagree. Another person cannot tell you how to feel. Go now and find out what she means. Remember, you have just one life to live.

talk heart to heart...patch up things..if both of you can feel and see that it will really not work at all., then part ways in good terms...let friendship continue the relationship..who knows, the two of you needs only space..

Girl, that's a rough situation. Its all good to help for a little while, but her ex seems to getting a little bit to dependent on your girlfriend. The bottom line is that her ex needs to grow up and be a women, it doesn't take that long to get get your stuff together. Tell your girlfriend to give her a couple of pointers and move on. Keep your head up!

Does she have a size limit for the guy? When you love someone, you love all of them, big or small!

It means shes not ready to go further in your relationship just yet. Give her some time , the fact that you spend so much time together must say something about how she feels about you! Good Luck!

really what she feels inside or what she shares with someone else is really her personal business and you should respect her space. when she is ready to talk she will.

Wait, did I read this correctly? Did you state that she is your EX girlfriend? As in, you two are not a couple anymore? If that is the case, shame on her for even asking--that's ridiculous.\n\nIt sounds to me like she grew accustomed during your time together to asking you for things, and it's very nice that you are the type of person who provides money for clothes, etc, but the fact is that you don't have to give her anything. If you want to tell her to stuff it, please go right ahead. The fact that she is even asking puts my teeth on edge.\n\nIf she is spending $3000 for a vacation, she should have given some thought to the clothing issue before. She should have either saved $3300, or planned to only spend $2700 for the vacation, leaving the rest for clothes.\n\nYou don't owe her anything at all. If she wants to go play and have fun, she can take care of that on her own.

You're the woman.\n\nYou make the rules as to how much is too much and how much is too little.  Isn't that really what you want to hear?\n\nIf he didn't want to hang out as much, you'd be asking how you could MAKE him hang around more.\n\nWomen like you are interested in mindless drones who capitulate to your every whim.\n\nSounds like you got one.  Set your limit and enjoy.

i think that he may have possibly overreacted. however, if you only waited like 5 minutes, you're probably not giving him enough space. if you waited a few hours though, there may have been something more. talk to him about it and let him know how you felt when he said that to you. also. listen to him and geta reason for why he said that. a realtionship is about listening and being able to talk to your dating partner about everything andbeing able to compromise when you make a mistake.

Yes, we definitely need to put YOU on something.  You said you love her dearly.  Really?  Then you should accept and appreciate the person that she is NOW and stop putting stupid ideas like big boobs = beautiful into her head.  This is wrong in so many levels.

maybe its time for a new computer or more space/memory
