What should I do when he's been my only love for 2 years?

I dated my first love in highschool and we were together for almost a year when we broke up. Things had just gotten complicated and so much was going on in my life and our relationship was adding more stress so I asked for a break. He kept telling me that he can't do breaks, but that he would try. He had it in his head that it wasn't going to work out anyway, but me, I thought our love was strong enough to over come it. I know, I shouldn't have made it less of a priority than everything else. Anywhere, this girl that he use to like, that I never did like. Way before he even liked her. But, she was there for him when I hurt him and he pretty much wanted nothing to do with me after that. She was with someone and she broke it off to be with my ex. It was awful. But they had been together for 2 years, I had messaged him a couple times just as a friend to see how he was doing, but each time she was the one on his Facebook so she would message me back making awkward small talk. I finally gave up thinking that I would hear from him again. But last week he started liking some of my stuff on FB and that's not like him to pay attention to any of my stuff so I messaged him and just asked how he was doing. We didn't really talk much and then the next week he ended things with his girlfriend of 2 years because he didn't want a relationship and she was to controlling. I got so excited. Maybe after 2 years I have a chance. I'm trying so hard not to make it a priority or get to excited because it could be nothing at all. I did message him and ask if he was ok. We talked for a while and when he was getting offline be asked if be could text me. So he did, and we talked all day. I texted him today and since we both have iphones i know he got it. As well as snapchat. I don't really see why he would ignore me. We're supposed to hang out this week and have dinner but I'm not really sure what to do from here. I can't really talk to my friends or family about it cause its embarrassing!

His ex does sound kinda controlling since she was on his fb page every time you talked to him haha. I think at the moment he needs a friend, nothing more, nothing less. He definitely won't be thinking about starting up another relationship any time soon if he was going out with this girl for two years. It will take him at least a few months to fully get over her and move on. He doesn't want a relationship like you said anyway, so don't get your hopes up. You can't make him change his mind. If he ignores you then just let him be, he will talk to you when he is ready. Try not to fall for him. He's just broken up with his girlfriend of two years, and doesn't want a relationship but I feel like you're wanting to maybe have one with him again? Sorry but it won't work any time soon. Just be there for him, be there so he can talk to you, but don't freak out if he doesn't reply. Just ask how he is every week or so. Just take it slowly, and if it's meant to be then it will happen.
