My (18/f) S.O. said she wants to take a break but I (19/m) don't understand what's she means.

Recently my girlfriend of 1 and a half years broke up with me and after a day she wanted to talk about how she feels. When we meet up she said she still wanted me in her life but she wanted to take like a month break to she how she feels about me. She said she still wants to talk to me and stuff but also she said i could see other people and do what I want. I just don't know why she would be okay me see other people? Does that mean she's thinking about seeing other people?

I have really strong feelings for this person and i wouldn't her to see other people because I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that if she ends up choosing to be with me. I also wouldn't want to be just waiting for her to want to be with me again then she finds someone or just decides she better off.

If you have any questions about this feel free to ask and any advice with be appreciated.

Tl;DR; my girlfriend that broke up with me still wants to be in my life but I'm not sure if I would want that with the feelings I have for her.

Update!

I told her straight up that if she doesn't want to be in a serious relationship with me then we shouldn't talk. I figured out she was thinking she could do better and she did say I could see other people because she wanted to but she did want to get back together again since i said that. The thing is i was totally right about her and she told me she had to tell me something first before we got back together and apparently a guy friend that she's been talking and hanging out with a group of friends and I've been curious about him, told her that she liked him and hung out today but didn't do anything. I'm not sure if I should trust her again because i asked her several times about this guy and she has told me I got nothing to worry about and then she told me she thought he was cute ( also when i asked her if she thinks he's cute but said he wasn't) but doesn't have the personality that i do and she realized she really wanted to be with me. I kind of feel like I'm being played. Is this true? What's going to stop her from doing this with someone else or maybe even lie about something even worse. I do want to forgive her but I don't want to be some chump that's gets played.
