<human>: I had this feeling all day that she was going to break up with me... All the signs were there. Well yeah, after school she texted me saying she's been thinking and she wanted a "break". I wasn't surprised by this but I still felt like complete shit... I really love this girl. Well we texted shortly and just accepted that we're taking a "break"

Well hours later I realize i'm stupid for thinking we might get back together. "breaks" almost never work... but yet, silly me being the love-struck human being i am, decided to text her asking if there really is a chance we can get back together. Well we're texting (as i'm writing this) and she tells me during the entire time we've been dating (just over 8 months) she has still had feeling for her asshole ex that treats her like shit. And right now she just wants to take some time to think.... she insists she wants another chance when she's finished thinking. I don't know what to do Reddit.. 
 
How do you get over a break up? And should i take her back if the chance comes? 

P.S- Our relationship is damn near perfect... there were no problems or arguments going on. I'm the romantic type who always does sweet things. This is just her feelings...

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: Girlfriend breaks up with me. Still has feeling for asshole ex. I'm thinking being an asshole is the best way to get girls. I don't know if I should take her back if it happens.
