My head says he still cares...but does he? Is there anything there?

Recently my ex and I have been going up and down. We haven't talked or seen each other in three weeks. The last time we talked we had arranged to hang out. But he called and told me he didn't want me to like him anymore, he didn't want me to need him, and we couldn't be best friends anymore. Slap! We argued a little about that and he ended up meeting me somewhere for lunch. So confusing! And frustrating! Why would he tell me that, then come meet me for lunch? I was kind of mad but I just kept quiet about it; and when we left lunch he asked for a hug, so I gave him one. Whenever my friend asks him about us hanging out, he gets kind of mad; I'm not sure why, it's not like a secret or anything. So it's been a while since we had that lunch, and I saw him again for the first time the other day. I got really nervous and didn't say anything to him at first; but he talked to me and was really friendly and nice to me. I don't want to blow things out of proportion; but when we were saying goodbye he lingered around and waited for me to say bye before he left. When I did, he just kind of smiled and walked away. I'm not sure if he still has feelings or not; but my head is telling me he does. What do you think?
