ex confusion

my ex and I broke up bc he was going through a lot and needed to work on himself.
he 'apparently" met a girl at a movie theater and asked for her number, and at school he kept saying she was hot and gorgeous.
he stopped talking Abt her, but then a few days later he said he still likes me but that it's complicated -after we agreed on js being friends-
I texted him saying how i'm not over him and how I really like him, he responded w/ saying how he'll think about it, and that it's a lot to process rn, I said alr lol, and he said but its not a no. ok?, and I said ok sounds good. the next day before first period, I passed him 2 times and he looked at me for like 5 secs. but in class, he didn't approach me to talk I didn't either. all he did was look at me multiple times for like 3-4 secs and when I looked back one time he was starting to look away but when he realized I was looking at him he instantly turned his head and stared back. to want to just end this, (even though I like him) I texted him saying (on friday) how to just forget what I texted him, and how I didn't mean to make things awkward. I got no response.
o his Snapchat stories, someone asked u in love? and he replied yeah. BUT DON"T WORRY ABOUT IT (he said that part in caps) and someone said who's the girl you're in love with? and he replied with, I said don't worry about it. i'm just confused bc all he does is look at me in class, and the Friday in choir before I texted him that we were singing birds of a feather (by Billie Eilesh) and he passed me singing "we should stick together", but he won't text me so idk what to even do, and he only talks to me if I approach him

First of all, I'm sorry about how confusing this must feel. He says he wants time to work on himself but still wants to be around you clearly and likes you, but apparently he asked for another girl's number after you broke up. This shows me that he isn't worth your time if he did do this, but assuming that he did not talk to another girl or compliment her, he should know how he feels about you and communicate this with you if he cared about your emotions, and is just wasting your time because he knows you still like him. The lack of response from him on Friday is also very disrespectful and immature. Your relationship seems one-sided, even if he is still interested in you, but if you really like this guy, wait for him for a certain set of time, 1-3 months, and see if he's seriously worked on himself or has made any effort to be a better person to you. If not, you can do better than him and he is a coward for his lack of communication and indecisiveness.

You are both 14yo kids who are clueless about relationships. Concentrate on school.

Thanks for your reply.
I honestly don't think I should wait for him, given bc it's just confusing and mixed signs. nothing clear.
but the thing is, even when I don't contact him or talk to him in class or outside of class, he still looks or stares at me, and I just don't know how to avoid it or ignore it bc of that. (we only share one period)

I'm not annoyed, but you are going round in circles with this for a boy you hung out with for a couple of weeks. Then broke up. Then got back together for a bit. Then you lied to him. Then he gets another girl, to add to the 40 or however many girlfriends you claim he'd had previously. Why are you expending so much time and energy on something that barely existed and is certainly going nowhere? There's more productive things you can do in life.
