I'm confused!?!????

I'm new at this and just thought getting others opinions would help. So here's the situation. About 2 1/2 years ago, I met this guy and we started off as friends. He had a girlfriend but was having problems...on and off. During one of their breakups we ended up getting together. We continued to talk but then he said he was trying to make things work with the gf. Fine...whatever. We continued to be friends but it was hard. He said it was difficult on his part too cuz he really liked me...said he'd be with me if he wasn't with her...blah blah. From the things he told me about his relationship...I didn't think she was right for him...but that's his choice. So it got hard to be friends so we stopped talking. About 1 1/2 years later...he tracks me down and we start talking again. I find out that they had moved in together, got engaged last year, broke off the engagment a few months later and then broke up a few months after that. And then he moved back home. And what's funny is that he moved on the same day I moved into my new apt and we now live in the same area of the city. A few days later he contacted me and we started talking again. He told me that he didn't want anything serious and didn't want to get attached which I understood. But for about a month we were connected at the hip. It was like we were in a relationship. And then all of a sudden I find him pulling away and distancing himself from me. One night, he had gone out with his friends and the next day he told me he kissed a girl. It just went downhill from there. When I asked him about it he basically said that he does have feelings for me but he doesn't want to be in a relationship. We do still chat online every now and then but barely see each other. I see pictures of him and other girls and can't help but wonder if he just used me as a crutch to get over the initial loneliness of breaking up. He says that's not true and he really does have feelings for me. But how can he just set aside his feelings so easily? So what do you think? Do you think he's being sincere when he says he likes me and its just timing that's keeping us apart? Or do you think he's playin me?
