If you and your GF ever had a break up where she needed SPACE, did she come back? What was the outcome?

Depends on the reason for wanting "space". Are you suffocating her i.e. need to be around her 24-7? Is she interested in someone else or do you suspect that she is? Have you guys not been getting along?
Space can be a good thing but it can also be the nail in the coffin. Can't really give a generic answer to this....sorry

She is young and need to live and experience more. Not interested in another person more like personal freedom for a while.

Sounds like one of two things: (1) you all were REALLY into oneanother and now she is having doubts (2) She felt like you were smothering her.
If you want my 2cents....give her space and lots of it, even when she may not want it i.e. starts calling you, etc. She needs to see what her life will be like without you 100%. Then, she can decide if she wants to be with or without you. Dont let her have her cake and eat it too i.e. "being apart" but still playing girlfriend on her terms. Also, this will give you a chance to see if you want her.
and, IMO, she doesn't sound like she's ready to commit. Trust me on this. I was a 110% commitophobe and have used that line and had it used on me.
It gonna hurt bro, no BS. But either she'll she what she's missing out on and want it back or you'll go seperate ways. Either way, You'll be ok.....in the long run.

Sometimes space can be good, but most often not.

I don't think there should ever be a time in your relationship where you should need space to exercise your "personal freedoms." If there is, you should try to find a way to work your way through it.

In my experience, if you want space, it's either because you want to be free to flirt with and date other people, or you feel smothered in your relationship and feel that you have no privacy.

You need to talk to her more to see what's really up. Good luck.

i told my BF, at the time, i needed space cuz i didn't feel the relationship was going anywhere after 2 years. i was very frustrated. but after 1 month of 'space' we sat down and had a long talk and worked things out. we married a year later and are living happily ever after. i suggest you talk to your GF and find out why she needs her space. there's got to be a reason in there somewhere.

When a girl tells you "I need space", your comment should alaways be "WHO IS IT?" everytime without fail. Trus me I've been there and it sucks. Its the works feeling in the world to know your Girlfriend who you love more that anything in the world is giving you the boot beacuse you wont take her to parties and get her fVcked up. I just dont understand women. But its cool soon after i got my new Girlfriend. The Formula red 1 thats alaways there, and she lets me ride her whenvever i want to. Oh yeah and my new real GF who is the best GF ever in the whole world.

Cut her loose. In no relationship should you ever feel like you need "space" from a person. I personally think it's a (somewhat) polite way of saying I don't want to be in a relationship with you anymore. Either because of someone else or because she wants to see what else is out there for her. Best thing to do in a situation like those is move on and cut your losses, if you ask me.
