OR "There's this other girl, and the thing is, I like you way more than her, but she's a really naive girl and she's super into me, so I think she'll worship me way more than you do and probably put out more often -- so I'm just going to tell you that you and I are still kind of together because you're the girl I want to marry but meanwhile I'm going to deflower her and maybe she'll even let me do some kinky isht. Is that okay?"
Apparently I'm still bitter? "I think we should take a break" are is probably one of my most hated phrases in the English language.
No, honestly, I agree with valkyrie's post. There is a slight possibility that he really just does need to figure things out. Follow the no-contact rule and let him re-approach you. Usually, though, "let's take a break" is just the wimpy version of "I want to break up," so I feel like you should start preparing yourself for that possibility. And yes, he is NOT going on vacation with you if you're broken up. I did that with the ex right after our "break" stage (because we'd planned the trip beforehand) and it was a horrible idea. If he's not treating you like you're dating, he doesn't get the benefits of dating.
