time to cool off and reflect - what does it really mean?

[everton]

When a bloke says lets have some time to cool off and reflect what is he really saying ?

I would imagine it's exactly what it says. Did you have an argument? What about?

I'm a bit like this, truth be told - I have a pretty bad temper sometimes, and I have to walk away before I say something I might regret. Cool off and reflect.

On the other hand, does he mean he needs to re-evaluate your relationship, do you think?

Depends on the context

I love any excuse to link .

He is saying that he will not be around any longer but that he is too chicken to actually tell you.

he is telling you he has another woman and wants to string both of you along for a while (or for ever, if at all possible)

who knows ? You don't give enough context to give you an informed reply....

He's really saying that he's just not that into you.

Sorry.

Generally speaking he's saying he thinks he has dropped a bollock.
