i think MIABroken has a point... in any case, the best course of action would be to just back off. if MIA is right and hes just with you until something better comes along, then he needs to know that thats unacceptable. and if he is trying to give you a chance to better yourself in preparation for the next step of yalls relationship, then you need to show him youre not as needy anymore, and that you have your own life. having sex with him, depending on him, and jumping when he says jump are all going to land you with a bigger heartbreak.
either hes giving you the chance to work on some relationship killers (being and needy and manipulative kills relationships, ive been there too), and yall might end up together...
or hes using you to keep him company until he finds some one else.
you might want to consider just asking him. ask him if hes looking for somebody else. ask him if he might be interested in trying toi have a relationship again someday. but until you know for sure, you need to remove yourself from the possibility of a heartbreak.
should he leave you, we will be here for you

i hope things work out for the best
