A good break is just giving the other time and space, and neither people go on dates. The purpose of it is to think about the relationship from an outside view without the distraction and drama of being together. If it comes down to seeing other people, though, in my experience it's just a shove out the door. You need to ask where your other stands on the idea of going out with other people. Even if they want to, it might not be over for good, but I haven't heard of many people who take breaks to see other people that end up together again. Be sure to get a straight answer.

A reader, anonymous, writes (6 August 2005):

A "break" is allowing two people in a relationship to give each other some time away from each other. Whether it means you can date others is something that is interpreted by the couple taking the "break". Some couples agree to see others..and some couples don't. The question as to whether "Date others" should be discussed with each other before the break is undertaken.
