She didn't at first. But she saw that I was getting frustrated and kept asking her why and it was apparent that I was getting frustrated with the situation. So her reason to shut it down temporarily was because she felt that if she DIDN'T, I'd get so frustrated that I'd break up with her for good. By taking the first step and cooling off with a break, I'm not AS frustrated (since I don't see her that often and don't expect fooling around. And when you're know you're not fooling around, it tends to keep you from getting frustrated that you're only going "so far"). She wants to continue hanging out so that she can have a chance to get back together with me. She knows that if we don't hang out, it could be an "outta sight, outta mind" scenario and so would like to stay in contact and go out. So she calls me like two times a week and we get together once or twice a week.

Overall very rational ways of thinking I think. I just hope it doesn't take too long. And I also hope that she doesn't decide that she doesn't want me anymore. But that's a risk I've got to take and she's taking the SAME risk with me (that I'd not want her anymore) so it's not a wholly one-sided dilemma.
