And your mileage may vary...

I wouldn't bother chasing her around. Be a less available, don't always pick up the phone when she calls and see what she does.

If she doesn't make any effort to get in contact with you, well that's what she was looking for.

Most importantly, what do YOU want? What are YOUR needs? Is the relationship fulfilling those? If not, cut bait before either of you thinks marriage, then a house, and then kids are going to fix it.

Usually, whenever I gave a lady the "I need a break" talk, to me, that meant that "Well, I need to go chase tail, but I want to hedge my bets by not completely breaking up. If it doesn't work out, I'll be back, but if it does, sayonara!"

Word. Pull back and if she doesn't bite, tough nuts guy. I feel your pain. You should never have to convince\beg to continue a relationship though for sure.
