Can someone help me?

Okay, so. Around October my ex broke up with me and I still love him (the break up was mutual). it was hard to accept it, but I already cope with it. Although, we still talk with each other, it sometimes gets very lovey dovey and I'm very confused with the fact if he still likes me or not. He also like someone else for a while. But I asked him to not talk about her since it hurts me. He also likes to tease me a lot or he'll call me by some lovey dovey names. So I sometimes wonder if it is out of pity or does he genuinely feel something for me? Sometimes he hugs me randomly or give some kisses. And I'm afraid to ask him if he still likes me, because one time I asked he kept denying it, he wasn't sure how to answer it. So I just get the feeling that I'm mixing up signals. Is he still into me, but confused about it or I'm just making things up?
