break vs breakup

woman
If we're on a break, can I see other guys?
So I "took a break" with my bf of 2 years. For me, it feels like a break up but he sees it as temporary. (Communicating about our views aside) I am enjoying the single life. He wants to get together asap. I'm still undecided. I made out with a guy the other day. Is that considered "okay". For me, I told him he could see other girls but he said he would never. I'm so torn.
