Is he still into me?

My boyfriend and I went out for a couple of years on and off mainly on though in total we were apart from a month a month and a half. We are really close and really good friends but due to just arguing a lot our relationship wasn't healthy and so we broke up, I broke up with him. It wasn't a clean break up in that we didn't maintain a good friendship immediately after, we didn't speak to each other till I contacted him three months after (he's a fresher at university now). We've had fights previously in the past and I think we both knew that something clearly wasn't working but because we had such a good connection and had been there for each other we decided to remain good friends. Yes, I know some of you might be thinking how can that be possible but it's hard to explain when we talk it is. So, my boyfriend has a best friend they've been best friends ever since they were 3 they're really close they go to the same university, same course everything now. I became really close with that best friend too when I was with my boyfriend but as a best friend of my own, we would all have banter, I'd help him if he liked a girl, we were really close friends. We too started talking in November and I realised I really like him, I told him and he likes me back. I came clean and told my ex and he spoke to him too and surprisingly he took it really well, he said he understands and he can't help who you like and I said I'm shocked you're taking it so smoothly he said he is too but for some reason he understands. I felt really guilty because I can imagine being in that position and it isn't the slightest bit easy and I've talked to him about it a lot and said I would never do anything if he was upset with it and he doesn't have to feel like he's sounding unreasonable and just tell me and he gave me his word it wasn't like that. So we made plans to get into contact during Christmas but he completely avoided me. I heard he hooked up with a girl and he told me he felt awkward and didn't know how to tell me but we moved on and everything became fine. We promised to each other we'd communicate each other once a week and he said he'd text me because he was changing numbers and so for a few weeks I waited and I haven't heard anything. I told the boy I like who was his best friend and he said they don't really speak that much which is weird considering the situation of living and when they do speak they don't mention me at all they talk about what's going on there but he feels like he isn't making much of an effort with him as much as he would but it's fine because they do speak, we didn't really talk about it in much depth. When he spoke to him about me he said he's really sorry and that he doesn't know how things are between us even though I laid it out for him (which I thought was a bit strange I don't u nderstand) and that we'll talk when we meet up during Easter. I told a friend who knows all of us and she said she thinks the only possibility is that he's still into me and that's why he's avoiding me. What do you think are the odds of that? Does anyone have any suggestions for his behaviour?
