my boyfriend asked for a break because hes been too busy. its been a week and im not sure whether were on a break or completely done. the last he told me was that we werent completely done. but how do i know if we're still on a break or if its over?

While you're on a break, it's over. You live your life and make decisions with no strings or anchors to your previous guy. Anything that can happen will happen and is perfectly fine...for BOTH of you.

At some point in the future if one or the other tries to reinitiate with the other, it is dependent on whether the other person is still available or not.

The only difference between a breakup and a break is a break feels less final, but effectively means the same thing. Breakup is at least more honest.

The people that defend a break as a useful dating tool are defending the exception. The RARE exceptions.

Move on from him. It's not cool that he is stringing you around. There are lots of men out there. When you find the right guy, he will want to be with you and you will know in your heart what is up. Talk to him about the situation, and tell him how you feel and that you want to know one way or another what he wants.

Busy doesn't mean a break. If he has no time for you, then I recommend you find someone that does. Ain't that much love in the world, that allows someone to put you on a shelf, until they get ready. Disappear from his life, and let him wonder what happened.
