I know its hard, but it would be best if u don't see or talk to her for at least a week, unless she contacts u. If she does contact u, try to be calm and accepting. Dont show emotion, but dont be a robot. try to sound friendly.
Untill then, focus on other things in ur life and try to stay clear of things that remind u of her. The more u push to see and talk to her the more she will run away. This can ultimatly ruin ur chances of mending things. If u do leave her alone, she will wonder why u arent chasing her and start to miss u. She knows how u feel so the ball is in her court. Let her come to u. hope this helps

Is it okay to date other people? Is it okay to have sex with others? Do you or she intend to go out looking for it or not?
Do you both assume that this is temporary and you will probably be getting back together in a short time? Or is that just a "maybe"? Is she or you pretending there will be a reunion later on because it's easier than facing the truth of a permanent break up?
Make agreements about this questions before the break. Do it out loud in clear spoken words. DO NOT automatically assume she feels the same way you do about any of this stuff. (If she felt the same way you do about everything in the relationship then she would probably not be asking for a break in the first place.)

I know its hard because you feel so strongly about her but if you really want her to be happy then give her the time to think.
If Also learn from your mistake and dont smother her again

Well how long were you with her for 1 and there's not much you can do really maybe she wants you to stop being possesive yes you love and you want to be with her 24 7 but women need there own space just like men do if you under stand or she just don't want to be with you you need to sit her down and get the anwser evan if she doesn't want to talk you have to tell her that you need to know your obvisiouly confused with why she's done this so you need to find out good look and I hope my advice helps
