I don't understand what he's doing and I myself don't know what to do. Coping with a break up. PLEASE HELP!!!

My ex-boyfriend %26amp; i went out for over a year %26amp;broke up 4 months ago.he broke up with me tecnhically %26amp;we broke up on good terms. we don't talk or anything but we aren't bitter or angry w/ eachother. things are at the point where even if we see each other %26amp;make eye contact, we dont say hi. it's just too awkward. Last week he was talking to my friend asking her if i thought he didn't want to talk to me %26amp;how he wants to be my friend %26amp;such %26amp;how he cares about me %26amp;wants to know whats going on in my life. she pretty much said that its up to him %26amp;when he wants to pursue it, he can cuz im not going to.yesterday he texted me after we hung out in a group (we have the same friends) he texted me an inside joke that was really significant when we were going out. this inside joke pretty much brought us together. so of course i was shocked. he was being very friendly, overly friendly in my mind bc we dont ever talk so it was a big step. i dont understand what he is doing. i still like him and its hardI don't understand what he's doing and I myself don't know what to do. Coping with a break up. PLEASE HELP!!!
if you two still like each other then why did you break up?? Maybe hes scared to talk to you! and you dont want to look back in the past and wonder would if! It might seem scary to talk to him but maybe you should try talking to him! he obviously still cares about you if he was talking to your friend about you. Break ups are HARD but remember theres millions of people out there. You two should just stop talking to each other like you said its awkward and what you two had was special so maybe even making a friendship with the whole thing would be good. Maybe not the bestest friends at the beginning but just being able to still talk every once in a while. and you never know things could work outI don't understand what he's doing and I myself don't know what to do.

HE WANTS TO B YOUR FRIEND!! so okay you guys werent the perfect couple but he dosen't want things to still be akward he just wants to know that you guys are cool and can still be good friends ... mayb he wants to hook up with you again. Ask him straight out when the time is right.
First try to be friends with him.If all is well try to ask him out but do not push him if he doesn't want to.
it's your decision whether you want to go out with him or not. couples make mistakes all the time. maybe the break up was just to serve as a break. to think things through. in the end, both of you guys realize that you still have feelings for each other. i think you should respond to him courting you and court him back. but you guys need to settle the score. talk about why you guys broke up and find solutions to avoid that again if you guys go back out. who knows, it may improve your relationship. you can't find that special someone without taking risks.
That's kinda deep, take it slow cause u don't want 2 hurt him nor hurt urself n' the middle u know. Being friends is gonna be different but not hard, just him extending 2u is also difficult remember that he doesn't know if ur gonna reject him, just as u don't know what his TRUE intentions r when interacting with u..............time heals all n' reveals all. Take care n good luck.
