To answer your OP, I think he LIKES you --- but he doesn't LOVE you.
And I think you loved him, and so you have not forgotten, and may get sucked into the same old emotion.
Been there got the cap, got the t-shirt.
I even today would not trust myself in such a situation. It feels like a setup for more pain in the short run, never mind long run.
My 2 cents,
AND A BIG BIG HUG, babe,
