 Hi
'Hi how are you' after breaking up and silence usually means 'are you free for sex',testing the water, but then he got lucky so didn't follow up.
Just forget it he's an Ex,dont get drawn in (unless he asks you OUT properly for a date.) Be careful.

 This is probably because he still cares about you and thinks about you and just wanted to check whether your ok or not, or wanting to build up conversation.
They could be more reasons why he didn't reply, maybe because he just wanted to see if you was okay, or because he wants you to chase after him, or because he's busy.
I suppose if your broken up there's reasons why you aren't together and maybe you should think over them before texting him again.

I would guess he thought he had struck out for the night and had you pencilled in as Plan B, but in the meantime something else came along and so he took what he thought was the better offer.

He sent the msg bc he is thinking about you and prolly genuinely wanted to know how you were but may not be interested in holding out what could turn into a full conversation. Not to be mean but just not wanting to go there at this time. On the flipside of things, he may eventually reply just give him time. He could br busy or preoccupied. Do NOT continue to text or reach out to him. Be cool. Wait and see if he replies. Don't get your hopes up. This way you are protecting your feelings.
