Long story short, he broke up with me because I was acting needy and didn't give him time to study. I was devastated because he was such a nice guy and treated me so well - but I wasn't nice to him and didn't do as many things for him as he did for me. After the breakup, he told me that he still likes me and he is a very genuine person and doesn't lie. It has been 2 weeks since we broke up and we hang out for like 5 times - he contacted me just to say hi and whenever I contacted him, even when he was studying, he would come out and see me. He would look in my eyes, complimented my outfit, noticed the smallest changes on me, got jealous of other guys complimenting on me, carried me when my feet hurt, fed me while eating.. We were just like boyfriend and girlfriend when we hang out! But he told me that as of right now, he doesn't want a relationship because he has so much to study. The semester is ending in about a month and I want him back. Should I continue hanging out with me and being a good friend? I am actually content of the way we hang out now (he obviously cares for me a lot) but I would like him to be more committed. At the same time, I am afraid if I be his good friend (maybe with benefits too), he would get too comfortable and not wanting to commit. What should I do? Should I show him the new me - not needy, independent, and care for him? Or should I stop contact and act cold to let him miss me? I know the reason we broke up was mainly because he has too much study and I controlled him too much.

Help! Thanks!

I would honestly not do flirty girlfriend and boyfriend things together when you two do hangout. That shows him that you're on reserve for a guy who can actually commit to a relationship. If you keep acting like a couple, then he might start using you. He sounds like a nice guy, so he might not use you, but it's a possibility. Maybe have a talk with him.. call him and say that you still want to be friends and hangout, but you don't want to act like a couple if you aren't dating. That will make him realize that if he truly wants you, he'll come back to you and date you again. Hope it helped (:
