This girl, who will be referred to as Jane, told me that it hurt her to know I was hurt. Now, a mutual friend of ours told me that it means she still cares about me, and there is a romantic meaning behind that phrase that Jane said.All in all, is there hope of reconciliation, or is she just trying to soften the blow?

"You're too accomodating"? That's very vague... I'm sorry that either sounds like an excuse to suggest the spark has died, that her feelings have changed, or hinting about deeper issues in the relationship- like the last poster said, taking her for lunch is a BRILLIANT idea- with someone you care about, emotions should always be laid open on the table, and just make it clear you want her to do the same... you'll know where you stand, what some of the issues are that are causing your pain. She should agree to this and care enough to give you the truth, otherwise she's not so sensitive and caring as you thought... it's only kind to put someone out of their misery, eitherway.

Ok now that you have said that it could be that she is just softening the blow. No doubt she likes you, thinks you are a nice guy but an overly accommodating person can be just as frustrating as one who won't budge for anything. My guess is she is being true when she says she is hurt to know that you are hurt but thats because you are a nice person, just not the right person for her. If you are serious about this girl, then have a think about her comments a decide if you are able to change your behaviour or think about why you felt the need too. If you are still confused perhaps let her know that you have been thinking about what she said and could she give you some insight. From there, if she is willing to discuss it further, you can re access the relationship. With a bit of explanation from her and a bit from you perhaps reconciliation could be on the cards- who knows until you try.

And, during the same conversation, I told her my relationship goals, and what I declined to accept. I did that, because, she made a comment that I was too damn accommodating to her, and she didn't like that.

Maybe, but without more information its a little hard to say. What where her reasons for wanting to take the break?

Caring for someone's feelings and being in love with them are two diffident things .
Here my opinion .. ask to take her for lunch: express that you just wish to clear the air so two of you are on the same page. Say whatever her decision at this lunch you will respect .. ( and men this) then after you have eaten speak about how you feel .. let her know that you wish to be together if she doesn't it's best knowing now than wondering and thinking about it and also you two could remain friends ..
Take care chin up

Well, very few women actually like hurting people- I really think you can't read much into this comment. She cares but if shes just called a break, it's for a reason... I mean feelings dont die overnight, but why has she called for a break? What did she say her reasons were?
It is the sort of thing caring people say anyway, hurting others is particularly hard for them...

If it was all going to kick off again she'd be round yours trying to fix up things with a reconciliation. I think many people have felt hurt by emotional things that backfire but one day they get up and dust down the cobwebs and get out there again socially. Meanwhile you should plan something new for yourself so that you dont feel like dead stock. Cooking a meal for friends is a fairly good option to ease back into the social scene because your guests generally return the favour and your nights in become increasingly appealing. Followed by a film and a couple of friends stopping over so you can drink and play cards till you drop. Then a social breakfast the next day. Plus washing up. She might miss the thought of your dinner parties even if is only pizza and beers ordered in.
