His behavior reminds me of the way an ex treated me after he broke up with me. He swore up and down that he still wanted to be friends and maybe even get back together after awhile - he claimed he was "scared" of how strong his feelings were for me and needed to "find himself"... blah blah blah. All BS. What he wanted to do, but of course what he wouldn't come out and say to my face, was play the field, and he wanted to "stay friends" in case he didn't find something he liked better. After hanging out with him a few times as friends, I decided it was too hard for me because I still had feelings for him, while also being hurt and angry.
It sounds like it's too soon to think about trying to be his friend. I personally would not want to be friends with someone who has done and said the things he has. He sounds like a very selfish person. If being friends with him is really important to you I would give it some time, and try not to expect anything from him. It's cool if you guys can drive around and have a good conversation, but just be cautious.
Good Luck...
