Why did he act this way after breaking up with me?

This is a follow up to my question that I posted about a week ago (http://www.dearcupid.org/question/where-do-i-go-from-here-what-should.html)

I attended a party last night and my ex (quick backstory - he broke up with me over Facebook last week by saying "It's over between us", and deleting me as a friend) was there. I thought he would ignore me, seeing as he went to the effort of deleting me off of Facebook and all, but he came up to me and gave me a hug, then asked how I was doing! I was nice and friendly to him. He came up and chatted to me a few times during the night (just small talk), and playfully shoved me at one point as though he was flirting. When everyone was leaving, he tapped me on the arm and said bye. I also said bye but added, "You can add me on Facebook again, you know," sweetly, but somewhat sarcastically.

Why did he act this way after breaking up with me... over Facebook?! He hasn't added me again, by the way. I miss him so much and seeing him was so painful but I put on a brave face and pretended I was fine. What do I do? Do I ask him why he was being nice, or do I just leave it?

Honeypie agony auntI think he kind of regrets how he dumped you. Also he is trying to be the "bigger man" I'm pretty sure SOEMONE told he he is an ass for doing it over FB.

I would personally avoid social situations with him around for a while. If he keeps popping up, you won't really have an easy time getting over him.

Just promise me this, DO NOT fall for his "charm". If you are in a social situation and he is there, be polite but if he starts to flirt I would walk away. Seems a little *I'm all that* for him to have the nerve to actually flirt with you.

GeeGee255 agony auntHe was just being nice, but that's all. He doesn't hate you or want things to be ackward when you run into each other socially. But his words and his actions are all telling you that he doesn't want to get back together. And you need to except this.
