Men, i need advice from youuu guys, please. what is this guy thinking/doing?

long story short: my on/off ex of 1.5 yrs (we were serious @ one point) finally broke it off and found someone new.this was right after it was announced that i found someone new.we both rebounded and that was obvious.however when i broke up with the rebound guy and went to my ex's apt and showed up crying. he told me that he was in a new relationship and didn't really care and didn't really wanna hang out anymore. and then i told him that i wanted time away from him and he was devastated and said: ';nono let's be friends! how about fri?';... which confused me. but nevertheless, i didn't talk to him for 5 days and he told our mutual friend that he was depressed but didn't know why. i got worried and gave in, and ended up having dinner with him. he hugged me and said: ';i missed you SOO much.'; he also kept staring at me and said i looked good. then when we went to hang out with a mutual friend, he kept bringing up the past and calling me his old petnames. i still like him. what is he doing?Men, i need advice from youuu guys, please. what is this guy thinking/doing?

I guess he might still appreciate a lot about you.
he porable still as filling for you
he couldnt refuse your love thats why he hugged you. but he is not completely with you either. better not to force him with your love. Be patient and sit back be a witness to what happening. if he wants you he'll come back.
he probably realised that he did care and wants you back
he's playing some sort of weird game with you. he still likes you thats for sure.so just tell him straight up to stop playing games.
