Is he keeping me as an option?

Anonymous

We broke up 2years ago because i wasn't really ready and stayed friends since then. i know he had a hard time moving on he dated so many girls who were similar to me, so, i couldn't tell him about my feelings back there i thought he has moved on. Now it's been 1y he's in a serious relationship and is really committed to it but sometimes he text me ask me to hangout and flirts like he still has a thing for me and that's what gave me a courage to tell him about my feelings (i really can't with it like i totally forgot about his relationship that time) he wanted to stay friends saying he can't hurt me, it's better to stay friends rather than dating (which makes no sense to me) whenever i talk about other guys he gets jealous and mad then ignore me for some times and then tries to make Me jealous. i was really confused by all this and there's this girl “again" who acts like me, he ask for tips saying “how to get a girl like you to like me back" or “what'll make a girl like you to date someone like me" which really hurts.

why is he doing that?

*his current relationship is also complicated they've broke up several times then get back together again after some weeks or so. so he does these kinda things when they're not together.*

Is he keeping me as an option?
