Confused! What next?!

My gf recently broke up with me, it happened almost 2 weeks ago. I saw her last weekend though, and for most of the day we werent talking much.

However.....
After a while, I made more of an effort, and we ended up kinda holding hands for a while and she rested her head on my shoulder n stuff. Is it just me or is that not normal after a break up?!

We havent spoken about it, but I'm not sure what to do next or where it could be headed...Im hoping to see her this weekend....provided she wants to! What should my next move be?
No, it's not normal. And it's not fair for her to do that either. Unless she's having a change of heart, in which case she should talk to you about it.
Bring it up when you see her. Ask her if she's happy with her decision. If she says yes, ask her why she did that. If it was because she just "felt comfortable" or something similar, she's being selfish.
leave well alone! i got into a habit of 'seeing my ex over a period of time. and we ended up having sex again. tbh, kissing her was the worst thing. i still really liked her, but now its clear that she was just using me in that period after we broke up, until she found someone she wanted to date again. i became a rebound boyfriend for my ex. it messes you up big time. leave it for a while. and if she is still showing these signs then TALK! if she wants to get back with you, she will say so. if not. move on. hope this helps. xx
Agreed.
She is sooo edging her bets, to unfair ground in my opinon. She wants the best of both worlds.
Don't let her have it.

Thanks guys...
She really is sending me mixed signals, I asked if she wanted to do something this weekend but she's "busy" when I know shes not! ..if she really wanted me back she'd surely want to meet up! Yet she still seems to be slightly interested :s-smilie:

maybe she just needed some space, these signs obviously means she still likes you and she might miss you too. maybe she wants to carry on seeing you and progress slowly. it may seriously be a cause of not wanting a relationship. just give her some space and she might begin to relise what shes missing.
Your best bet is to talk about it, tell her you don't like the mixed signals you are getting. If she doesn't want you tell her not to hold your hand and stuff like that.

If she's being such a manipulative little minx, why do you want her back?

She broke up with you, but do either of you have new partners? It could be that she needed some space and is thinking things over. Indeed, it could be the fact she regrets having broken up with you and wants you two to get back together.

You have to think about what you want, though. Do you want to get back together with her? If so, then that pretty much tells you what your next move should be.

No, I dont have a new partner and as far as I know she doesnt either. I've met up with other girls, but its just not the same. She really does enjoy sending me these mixed signals though, holding my hand one week and then not wanting to meet up with me the next....its way confusing. I would ask her about it, but it happened like a week and a half ago, maybe the moment has passed? I wanna meet up with her, to see if it happens again, but probably shouldnt ask her to meet me seeing as she didnt want to this weekend...dont really know where to go with this one, as I dont wanna start moving on just yet. I stil rely like her so wanna do all i can to get her back!
Talk to her, tell her you don't like the mixed signals you are getting, either she wants you or she doesn't.

To be honest it sounds like she's deliberately trying to keep you hanging by a thread. I've had the same thing done to me and to be honest its ten times worse than cutting your loses because the wondering drives you insane. My view on it all now is, let them go and if they come back crawling then think about it. Otherwise leave it be. Some people just miss the attention and mess people around.
