Friend/Ex/Situation?

Anonymous

Kind of want a guy’s thoughts on this. My ex and I decided to remain friends after the relationship, seeing as we were friends before the relationship started. This was decided at the beginning of the relationship, as it was one of his concerns. Broke up mid-December (I broke up with him for personal reasons and I wasn’t sure where we’d be because it’s an LDR. I still had feelings, but I wasn’t confident it would work out, and we’re both goal oriented in a way when it comes to relationships, so in my mind I didn’t want to waste his time. He had some similar concerns a few months prior). We still talked, and in one conversation he said he realized romantic relationships weren’t that important right now at our age. When January hit we didn’t talk It’s senior year highschool, so I checked in on him and his sister that I’m friends with to see how their finals went at the end of January. Since then, beginning of February I’ve gotten kind of a panicked “I haven’t forgotten about you” sort of message with a lot of I love yous in that message that I think he’d wanted to say because his sister called for him during me and her’s phone conversation… him jokingly calling me babe in class, to which I ignored because I didn’t know how to react and hasn’t been brought up since.. A text conversation on Valentine’s Day included us keeping up to date on our passions and him saying “I’m a big fan of you”… and having a sibling text hello, that he loves me, and a joking flirty message that came with it. He didn’t say “I love you” this often previously in our relationship, or do anything like this, so I don’t know what to think or what’s happened in a month’s time that’s changed-

Everyone’s opinion is welcome, but I would like some thoughts from the guys because I have no idea what’s going on in his head. I’m a bit of an overthinker, so I need his intentions in saying these things laid out clearly.
