My boyfriend left me without explanation. Is he gonna come back?

Anonymous
Me and my boyfriend have been together for a year. In September we started going to college together and it was still amazing. Though since 2 months or 3 he changed. He has been a really quiet guy never drunk went for parties etc. I was his first girlfriend, first girl he kissed etc. First time he drunk on new year with me since then he decided he wants more and wants to party. He was more closed and didn't want to spend as much time together. We were in bad form though now everything was fine till few days ago. He came to pick me up from different city spent a night there and went sightseeing, everyrhing was perfect like a dream. Next day when we arrived to my house all was good he was telling me he loves me and missed me, though in the mornihg after i made him breakfast he kissed me said thank you love u and 15 min later said he can't be with me anymore. I was in shock as didn't expect that. He said he doesn't love me since good while tried to make it work but it doesn't. He stayed 3 hours after that cuddling me kissing me on the head said " i do love you, but not as strong as a girlfriend but more like family". He was crying so badly same as me when was breaking up with me and cuddling me so strong. Said he behaves like 17 yo ( is 22) while i am more experienced and look for sth serious and he wants to try different things but being with me he can't. It broke my heart. I asked if we ever get back he said as far as he sees NO cause he doesn't love me but yet then says he does but not as girlfriend. Im so confused and wonder if he left to see what else is out there and will come back or not? Like it was completelly out of blue especially that 15 min before break up he said he loves me.

I spoke to his/my best friend. He was talking to him today and asked if he will he meet me. He said he will at some stage just needs some time. I asked if he highlight part " as friends" and our friend said" no not really, just said he's willing to see u , just needs time to figure out what he wants" so i kinda do see a chance there?

Yesterday while i was away and my best friend was waiting for me he went to talk to her. She said he was in a rush as classes started but she didn't see him comming he has run to her and said " hey how is she doing is she ok?" And she said " i dnt know i meet her soon so u can talk to her " he said " tell me, im in a rush so cnt really talk also im afraid and not ready to talk yet, but ill" and took off. The fact he already asks people i would imagine is a good sing

I have been going through the break up and trying to figure out why.. I realised i missed out one part. I am going to budapest after summer. He was claiming he's happy for me and we will make it, but that matches that since then he started to get cold with me. Was showing less affection etc slowly getting distance till we broke up. His sister asked me if i think it would work and i said yes and she said she will tell him. Then his friends asked me same question. Could that be it?
