As I said earlier I thought the idea of taking a step back was a good one. Things were moving way too fast for my taste and headed in a direction I'm not comfortable with."Does that mean it's over?

 Yes, no question. It's a nice way of saying "Welcome to Dumpsville. Population: you".
As mommyofthree has said, it could have been much worse. It could also have been much more ambiguous. So many breakups have only "it's not you, it's me", or "I'll call you sometime" as their only indication of termination. At least this quote would let a person know that the relationship is, for all intents and purposes, over.
Who says things like this? Someone who's forthright and honest about his or her feelings, and thinks enough of the other person to say what he/she really means. Anything more direct than this ("Sorry, but it's over. We just don't work as a couple", for example) almost borders on rude, wouldn't you think?

 To me it does sound like that person is getting out of a relationship. Atleast it was a nice way to put it, it could have been a lot worse.
