I accepted this gracefully, but ever since that day I told him I accept it, and good luck with his future etc, he has been texting me every day saying, ' Hi Baby, how are you? and sending stuff like that.I don;t understand it. I have responded in a non emotional way and been freindly, but what is he trying to say? what do I do? Thank you . x

When he said friends, he meant friends with benefits. Ignore him completely, he's not worth your time.

There could be several reasons for his behaviour towards you:
1.) He doesn't want you out of his life and he's scared that "just friends" will turn into "not talking anymore" so he's keeping in (very) regular contact so you don't drift.
2.) He doesn't want you to forget about him. It's an "We're not together but I don't want anyone else to have you" thing, if he keeps bugging you, it's harder for you to get over him.
Of course it could also be that he wasn't sure he made the right decision and is keeping you hanging on incase he changes his mind, he doesn't want it to be too late.
In other words, no matter which of these it is, he still cares about you. Maybe you should try and hang out in a group with mutual friends? Show him you're not going to be 100% out of his life? This way you can put your whole "being friends" idea into practise, while still going out and looking for a new man?
Good Luck!
