Is he messing me about?

mimi asks :

There's this guy that I have known for over a year now. When we first met, we went out on a couple dates, as in two or three, then we stopped , we still did text each other, but it was not as often as we used to speak to each other. a couple of months later he invited me to go and watch him preform. He arranged to take me out for my birthday, but something came up and we weren't able to go out. Then we started to text each other again but not that often. a couple of months after that, then we started speaking to each other. he actually told me that he really liked me and had always liked me. But he told me that he weren't actually ready for girls. then we stopped talking as often as we used to. and then a couple weeks after we started talking. two weeks ago he told me that the way that i felt for him, he felt the same way because he could see it in my eyes that I loved him. well the thing is I don't know. I think I might be in love with him, but i don't know because of the way he is to me. i feel like one minute he really likes me and the next , its likes i'm a total stranger. He does send me flirty messages, messages that even my girls say that he actual likes me.i also send him flirty messages back. but the thing is i really don't know what to do with him, because i think he's either still in love with his ex or hes's back with her. like we haven't spoken since he got back from his holiday , but the thing is that he actually said that when he comes back, that he's all mine.. i just don't know what to do because its like I've tried to get over him , so many times , but i can't even if he doesn't speak to me and i really hate this feeling i have towards him. i want to know also if he likes me and if hes' just messing me about, at least then i can forget about him, and delete him from my life.
