She needs Space... but I'm worried.
So I have known this girl for about 5 years now, and we always had this connection or feelings for each other I guess you could say, and finally 2 months ago we started to actually take it to another level. We finally started talking and dating. And it has been amazing. We would see each other everyday, and I mean every single day, which I understand isn't the best idea but she really wanted to. And within the past few days it has gone downhill completely. We are both in love with each other. I mean I am crazy about this girl and she means everything to me. And she tells me she loves me a lot. But last Thursday she tells me she feels like we are moving to fast and wants to slow things down and I'm like all right that's fine. A day later she tells me she needs time and space alone and she is lost, confused, and doesn't know what she wants at all. And of course I'm hurt and really upset but I respect that and I'm giving her space. But then a day later she seems really upset and finally she breaks up with me. But the thing is, she tells me that she loves me and cares about me a lot, and she hopes we can be together when she feels better. She tells me there isn't anyone else and that she's never been with a guy so caring and that has been sweet to her. And of course I'm very sad and yet I want to give her space and time because I want to be with her, more than anything. So we don't talk for a day, and then yesterday she texts me saying, she misses me and hope all is well and I say I miss you too and I love you and she replies "i love you too.." with those damn periods which I doubt mean anything. But now I'm completely confused, because two of my friends have both told me that it isn't over between us and she probably really just needs time. And I want to believe that too. I mean yes she needs time and she broke up with me, but everything else points to her still in love with me and everything. I mean my friend made a good point saying " she texted you first so obviously she wants you around" and that's true, and I am an over thinker and I worry quite a bit but I just want reassurance.. and I know there isn't a definite answer anyone can give me, I just want some insight. I mean even her best friend tells me she really does love and me and cares about me. She told me that, and she doesn't want me out of her and life and that we couldn't just be friends, which I'm okay with because I love her. But at the same time, I'm worried in a week or two or whenever she feels better she could just totally reject me and this sucks, because all of these things point to it working out. But I have no idea. I just need some opinions PLEASE!
