text: I hate to say it, really, but it sounds like he is either hedging his bets or letting you down easy. If you want to be back with him you need to be slightly aloof and let him know you have options. I'm normally not into playing games, but there is nothing that will drive him away faster than being needy or bring him around faster than seeing that you can live - well - without him. Be nice, but not too available. Also, I don't know why you split, but unless you work through those issues they will still be there even if you do reconcile. I strongly urge counseling - whether you go back with him or not. Even if you don't it will help you in your next relationship. Good luck!
