Does my ex wanna see me again or not?

Anonymous
We were long distance and saw each other twice a month. Even though we still loved each other, he broke up because it would be years until he could close the distance. After the breakup I realized I’d rather go back to what we had than nothing at all so after 3 months no contact I reached out cause I wanna try again. I know if he saw me again it could happen so I’m trying to see him.

I’m really confused because he acts interested in me and will flirt with the idea of seeing me but stalls when I try to make it real. Here’s an example:

Him: what are you up to tonight?
Me: I’m taking a bath with some wine.
Him: where’s my invite?
Me: you have to wine n dine me for that kinda invite
Him: prepare to be wined n dined then 😉
Me: Does that mean you’re asking me out?
Him: I don’t know, I’m kinda nervous 😬😉
(Obvious joking)
Me: what whyyyyy lol
Him: You’re intimidating 😏
(Joking again)
Me: I’d say your odds are pretty good even with these fake excuses lol

And he hasn’t replied backwards. It’s weird to me that he plays along with the idea and stalls instead of giving a serious answer.

How do I proceed from here? And how would you interpret the convo? I miss him so much and am so confused
