Advice on getting a girlfriend back?

Hello

To make a long story short after 2 and a half years of dating and having just talked and agreed on plans to Marry and move in together next year, my Girlfriend said she needs some time to think. She says she is really confused inside and needs to sort out her emotions.

I have 2 years in this and while I know the dreaded "time apart" is usually lethal, are there things I can do to help get her back? I was thinking to try to make her jelous a little bit. As well as leaving her alone and not talking or writing with her. Just cut her off.

She asked if we would remain friends if we broke up. I also asked her, do you want to leave me? and She said she is not sure. I know her friends and they say to give her time alone and that she is not seeing anyone else.

Any advice is helful. Thanks!

    I've been in this very situation before (as well as most women), and trust me when I say this: If she says she needs time to herself, give it to her. Don't try to make her jealous, or be mean to her, or start fights with her. Let her have this time to sort out whatever is going on. Pushing too hard will only push her away.

    These situations don't always have to be 'lethal'. Try little things to do for her to let her know you still care, and that you are there for her, but don't push too hard. Try bringing her flowers one day just to say hi, or to let her know you still love her and think she's beautiful.
