We had a really long talk about what it all means and basically we have decided to stop contact for around 4 months and then try to be friends. She still loves me but she isn't 100% sure that I am the one, so she says she might want to date other people but most of all just wants a chance to be single for a while. I want a chance to be single too. We said that after a year or so we can re evaluate our situation and if we realize we are right for each other than we can start again. In the meantime dating others is ok and if we hook up this summer or within a year it is ok. She tells me that she wishes she had met me later in life so we could be getting married but she is now only 75% sure if I am the one because I am the only one she has dated. We really had no reason to break up except for the fact that she didn't want it to blow up in our face in the future. I am trying to move on and open up to others but should I still hope that we can get back together again? Do you think this situation is a good one to be in?

If you are meant for each other , nothing will stop you from coming back for each other. It is good that you have a final exploratory phase before you say your 'I Do!' You will not regret later and you will know how much you want each other.It is like a final test of your love for each other.

You don't know what one year hold and if you are not completely sure that you guys are meant for each other then you are doing the right thing by breaking up. You are young, don't be in such a hurry to find "the one." And don't try to plan on when you guys will get back together. I say just move on with you life and see where it takes you.

If you find someone that you love more than her, then let her be the one for you. You can just "be friends" with this "ex" of yours, but you needn't get to caught up. You might love her, but you need to give her some space. Girls don't like to feel like they don't have the opportunity to try something new, and she might come running back to you, if she knows that you've decided to give her that oppotunity.
