Expect the "TAKE A BREAK" and what it might mean

[vicki]

Some women will test a guy and go into the "lets take a break
from being serious".

Your reaction to this possible test is very important.

Do you:
freak out, act desperate, complain,????

or do you:
react calmly, move on, be a man


BOYS.......you need to be ready for this little examination,
and know how to use it to your advantage

This is one of those tests that basically you're screwed no matter what you say. It's in the same category as when a girl asks you about another girl and says "Isn't she pretty?". If you answer yes, then it sparks jealousy, and if you say no, you're seen as bullsh*tting

correct answer is "Yes she is, if you are into that type of stuff, Im into you"

smooth real smooth.

If she says take a break, you've basically been LJBFed. Of course it won't do any good to freak out, but you should look for other prospects so that you can make the break permanent.

correct answer is "Yes she is, if you are into that type of stuff, Im into you"

And for this...this is a kissass answer in my opinion. What I would do is be the obnoxious jack@ss I am and say "Hell Yeah! I would hit that in a second! Matter of fact, I would hit that from behind!". Don't take her so seriously.

hmmm not really a test though......
no chick who is that keen on a real man would ever say "lets take a break" as a test for fear that he would actually say yep i agree.

mind you ive heard it said plenty of times in the dark AFC days.

btw lets take a break from being serious = my IL is falling, your suffocating, i wanna see other people for awhile.
but your dead right on what you should do:

react calmly, move on, be a man

It Happens All the Time

I've been through this several times before, and am going through it now. What Vicki is talking about is a variant of the "Switch."

The Switch is when a couple seemingly ends or puts on hiatus an LTR. One or both of the partners may initiate it. The Switch period may last anywhere from several weeks to several months. After that, the couple starts going at it again, often hot and heavy.

If a woman pulls the Switch on you, don't automatically assume you've been totally dumped or LJBFed. Just keep cool and take it in stride. Hey, she may actually be dumping you. But, then again, she may not. I know of at least two happily married couples who went through this.

and why would any self respecting man stick around on the off chance that it may not be bullsh!t ********?
like i said if she digs you she would never say " lets take a break"

Where did I say that you should stick around? The thing is, you don't; you move on. If she comes back a few months later, then you're one who makes the decision as to whether or not you want to pick it up again.

Yes, she can say, "let's take a break" and still dig you.

I'm not making this stuff up. It's happened to me more than once. In both cases, she came back.

ive never once had a single chick say to me "lets take a break" who i knew was into me.

you didnt, but your post implyed that its not necessarily a bad thing, and if its not a bad thing shes still in the loop isnt she?

Just because it hasn't happened to you yet doesn't mean it won't.

Maybe she is in the loop, maybe she isn't. In my experiences, in one case I took her back, in the other I didn't.

maybe, but if and when it does i will have enough sense to give her the break she wants, for good.

To each his own. Just don't be surprised if she comes back. One thing's for sure -- you'll be in the driver's seat then.

I view women "tests" as playing games. A guy like me don`t have time for games. Be a woman and grow up. If a guy really likes a woman, he will do anything to keep her excited and interested.

I had a GF who tested me with this sometimes..

I just remained calm and said.

"No, I dont need a break. Why do you ask?."

or something along those lines.

Sometimes when it was a CLEAR test I would say

"maybe your right, we should go on a break and sleep with other people."

She would then say, no no no I wasnt serious I just wanted to know what you were saying. (but then she would get jealous and ask me why I wanted to sleep with other people)

crazy.
