He knows you like him and is probably unsure of how to be a mate to you in case he leads you on or doesnt give you what you want from that relationship. He is in avoidance because of it. You need to strongly talk yourself out of it and get your mindset in to that you are 'over him'. Then once you have come out of that scenario, eventually you can go back in to it with a different footing and he will believe that you only want friendship from him. This happened to me a few years ago and thats what i did. I think I did too good a job on him though because when his next girlfriend broke up with him it was 'my' shoulder he cried on. Good luck!
