In life, many have gone through breakups at different levels.
For some it was so devastating, but for others, they have been able to use their experience to build even better relationships with others and sometimes their ex.
So as a man, your girlfriend said she needs a break, and then walks out of your life.
It could be so upsetting, and you wonder what step to take next.
The first thing that comes to your mind is to beg and present her flowers, right? Come on! Didn't you hear her? She needs a break and so do you.
Take some time off, stop the calling and the messaging.
Live life like a single man that you now are.
I'm not saying you should resign to losing your girlfriend, I'm just saying you should give her some space.
It will be difficult, but it is achievable.
Hang out with friends, make even new friends and do things that you know will keep you busy and shut her from your mind temporarily.
Hang out friends and to the best of your ability make sure is aware that you are not locked indoors feeling depressed and sad.
This should go on for at least a week.
Use you discretion to determine when you feel the time is ripe to give her a call.
If while breaking up, she did nit give you any reason, then don't give her any apology.
Just tell her you feel concerned enough to know how she is doing.
Do this for a while until you think you 2 are back on some kind of talking terms.
Note that you shouldn't do this frequently.
Your attitude should be a little nonchalant but still a little caring.
Note that if you sound desperate, your girl will most likely take you for ride, and if you try to make her feel jealous she just might work out finally.
So you have to be very careful.
To me the best way is patience and good communication.
