So here is the deal. She has gone to France to study for the semester. She left about a month ago. Then, earlier today, she breaks up with me. She was saying she needs space and doesn't want to be in a relationship right now, not with anyone. (I trust that she wasn't cheating or something; I'm certain she wouldn't lie about that.) She said she would talk to me again when she was ready for a relationship again, and in the mean time wants to stay friends. She says she still loves me, and that I was always kind and perfect. In fact, she couldn't provide ANY reason for why she was breaking up with me, except that she hadn't been single for more than a month since she was 13 and just wanted to be single for a while. (I know she doesn't NEED a reason, but I would think she would tell me if she had one.) I trust her, but I know she has a tendency to not want to cause confrontation.  
  
 Am I kidding myself to think that she will try to get back together? Should I move on? I know I still love her. (Up until today, I had been saving for a trip to see her while she was in France.) Is it worth it to try to figure out how to improve and be better for if/when she comes around? Should I try to give it up and move on? Should I give myself a waiting period, and if she's not ready, then just call it quits? Is this a normal or common thing? I'm completely lost here, I've never been in a situation like this.
