Search Results: pretend to have feelings for others

So me and my ex boyfriend broke up a month ago
He broke it off because we were constantly arguing and so he thought we werent compatible and plus he wants to focus on becoming a police (its gonna take about 1 year to finish off the full time course and training)
But we didn't remove each other on social media
A week later he messaged me a long text to apologize about the break up and all
I replied so we are on good terms
He asked me out to movie and dinner on valentines day and even bought me a bouquet of flowers but told me we still can't be together right now and want to be friends
Ever since that day, he has been messaging me more often tho
Last week he called me just to ask how im going , how my work is going , if im going on dates , my weekend plans , etc
But he's usually messaging me about his day , what happened in his day , about his career plans , his course , whats he's doing , etc
He messages me when he's at work , on his lunch break and on weekends
he's always the one initiating contact
I've never reached out to him first since the break up
He send me long texts but i respond with 2 or 3 sentences at most
But i still would hear from him every week
Do you guys think he still has romantic feelings for me or just wants to be friends/being friendly?
Im so confused
I still got strong feelings for him and I dont wanna pretend its fine being friends when I want more
Thats why i stopped replying to his last message today :/
But at the same time I dont wanna lose him

My name is Elise and I had a falling out with my best friend about two years ago over petty stuff. I did hurt her, but I never intended to cause her as much pain as I did. I have tried apologizing countless times, but I feel that it hasn't helped us in the long run. We finally started interacting again a few months ago but after not seeing each-other for a few months, it feels like we're back at square one where we don't say anything but always seem to stare at one another (she seems to stare more than I do). When we were best friends, there were romantic feelings between each-other and she would talk about being bi or curious. I came out to her and confessed my feelings for her but she didn't act upon that. So although nothing intimate happened between us, that could be a reason why we haven't been able to be friends again. I am planning on going to a fraternity party tonight, and I am hoping she will be there as well. From what I can see, we both miss each-other so I'm thinking about talking to her tonight. If I do, I would say something along the lines of, "Look, I am so sorry for what I did in the past and the harm that I put you through, but I never intended to hurt you as much as I did. I cared about you so much back then, and even though we're not close now, I still do. And I don't know how to put this or how you'll take it but I really want to earn your trust back and try to become friends again because I can't pretend that every time I see you everything is fine because it clearly isn't. Even if we never become as close as we once were, I at least want to try and become decent friends with you again." This would be the first time I'm talking to her in person and apologizing straight to her face so I'm hoping with that, she'll be more willing to talk to me about things and try to mend our friendship. Overall, what do you think of the situation and is talking to her in person something that I should try? Thanks for all the help, I appreciate it!
