Search Results: how long to wait after a break up

I became friends with a guy on my team, and long story within the last month and a half we've become good friends. I absolutely love him as a friend but I can't deny the fact that I have been developing romantic feelings for him. My friend, who is also friends with him, talked to him about me and he said that he likes me a lot as a friend but personally he doesn't want to start dating. The last time he dated it was too complicated and a pain for him so now he has plans to stay single at least until he goes to college. I'm not sure what to do. I love being his friend but I can't ignore the fact that me and him vibe on a whole different level than either of us do with the rest of our guy/girl friends. We both know that dating at this point in the semester is stupid. The chances of us going to colleges far away is too great so we would just be dating while counting down the days until we go to college and have to breakup, which might ruin our amazing friendship. At the same time, after the passing of a peer in my grade I have been really thinking about how short life may be and I want to enjoy as much time with him as possible, which can be just as friends too. I'm just conflicted.
* We also applied to the same school that is my top choice and where his mother wants to go and where he may even want to go also.

Should I just wait and see what happens? We could have a short and sweet fling and break up as still close friends. We could also just remain close friends and see what the future holds, maybe we will end up at the same school and maybe not. I don't want a heartbreak in a few months but I want to make the most out of the time I have left with him. Life can change so suddenly you never know what can happen.

We broke up a year ago. We dated for 5 months. I wanted it to be official but he wasn't ready for a relationship because he had to find himself. He was moving also away and it was doing to be hard to do long distance. I wanted it to work but he didn't. I got stubborn but also knew we needed to stop contact so i told him i had to block him then took him off my socials. 7 months passes he returns to my city. He bumps into my mom and asks about me and if im single. My mum told him to chat to me. We then planned a day, with no small chat. i waited that day, then he never showed. I got frustrated and thought thats it. I then bumped into him 2 months after and he was super shy. I approached him in a warm manner because i do still care about him but had moved on emotionally. I then asked why he didn't show up that day and he said it was because of nerves. I then left and emailed him that night and told him i do still care about him and i always will but i have to do whats best for us, then wished him well and that ill see him around. I bumped into him yesterday, and insisted on stopping me when i told him i was busy, so i did. he was so friendly to me, flirty, and kept trying to make me smile and laugh where i really wasn't giving anything but smiling and laughing and wasn't so chatty.

What is he thinking? Is he trying to woo me again?
