Search Results: if he hugs his ex

Its been a month since our break up
Me and my ex boyfriend still hang out
We always go movies together since we both love movies
After break up, we chose to remain "friends"
He initiates contact every week (once or twice a week)
And he initiates going out to the movies every 2 weeks
I never initiate anything
So anyway, today I went to the movies with him
there's signs that he likes more than friends but I need you guys to judge
This is what happened:
- I dyed my hair last weekend and today was the first time he saw me with this new hair.
He saw me and said "wow you look so good with this hair. It looks good on you. You look like a supermodel"
He said this more than once and i catch him staring at me sometimes
And he would say "i bet guys are hitting on you hey? Do you talk to them?"
- then when we were queuing up to get our tickets and snacks, he would stand close to me and pat my head
- in the cinema, during the movie, he would sometimes tap on my arm and try to talk to me about the things happening in the movie
And he would also playfully teases me and grabbing some of my popcorn
- in the car i was tired and he would put his hand on my thigh for a few seconds and would ask me "are u ok? Is everything ok?"
- after the movie, he dropped me home
He told me to get him water because he was thirsty so I went inside my house and got him a water bottle
I came back outside to his car to give the water to him and then i was about to leave when he said "wait, come inside the car first"
So i got in the car and said "whats up?"
Then he said "give me a hug"
So i gave him a hug
I pulled away and then he pulled me in again for few more seconds and then he pulled away and said "okay bye"
Im confused tho
Is this friendly? Or more than friends?

Long story short- we were good together and then we were bad. He was manipulative and conniving and in three years he went from emotionally abusing me to finally- hitting me. That was the last straw and I left him there and then. We’ve been broken up for 1.5 years now. We occasionally message on Facebook to check in on each other. We were doing so this week and unusually the conversation continued into the next day. Unfortunately my wallet got stolen and I was really upset and called him to get me (fyi- we haven’t seen each other since he hit me and we broke up) it was silly. But instinctual. I needed a comforting hand. He drove an hour and twenty mins to me. We hugged, and said that’s it, once in the car we spoke. It was good tbh, we communicated (something we lacked in the relationship) and was able to hash out any angst, we briefly spoke about how if we were to try again, how great it would be bc we’re both so mature and better people now. He then told me I was the love of his life. And we kissed, and I’m sure you can guess the rest.
I felt guilty instantly and felt bad for the girl. We stayed together for a few hours after that and now it’s all just so confusing. He messaged me yesterday evening and told me he’s sorry and he’s torn and he doesn’t know what to do and his girlfriend hasn’t done anything wrong apart from trying to make their relationship work. I saw a different side to him when we met and it opened up a lot of feelings. I know we can’t be together but I’m hurting. I told him we can’t do this every few months checking in on eachother anymore as dynamics have now changed since we said those three words to each other when we met yesterday.
Before any one says anything- i felt absolutely shit for sleeping with a taken man. So please don’t dwell on that and make me feel bad.

Any perspective from either guy or girl would be great. Thank you
