<human>: My boyfriend[24] and I[22] broke up 2 weeks ago because he was overwhelmed by life. It didn't seem to be about him losing his feelings for me but now I'm sort of worrying. After we talked things through the day after the break up and ended on good terms, he took a day to himself before saying he wanted to work things out. 

Now what does that mean exactly? He said he stilled loved me, missed me a lot, missed holding me, and having a good time together. We had an agreement we wouldn't see other people and would work things out. However, he does not want the title and is afraid to tell him friends. I mean it's been a week so I understand, but the thing is the way he talks about how he feels about me is a little...odd.

Anyway we agreed that this wasn't friends with benefits. He wants to define it as "working on it" but won't say we're in a relationship...but at the same time expects me to say good morning every day and talk to him and not see anyone else and have sex and pretty much everything we did before. The only real difference now is that we made more time for friends. I'm not comfortable with keeping it a secret forever from his friends. Apparently his family knows...but he doesn't want me to tell mine yet that we're working it out. 

Anyway the phrase that gets to me is that he goes from loving me and missing me to "I love you as a person" and for now we are "working on this." Then slips and says he can't be in a committed relationship. I don't want to think I'm being used. I want to convince myself he needs more time than a week...but saying I love you as a person sounds like "I love you but I'm not in love with you" to me. We've all heard that speech right??? I can't figure out what he wants. He says more than friends with benefits but not a 100% relationship. I need to do something about this before I have too many expectations and waste too much time waiting for him to figure out if he romantically loves me, not just as a person. He's afraid to directly just come out and say how he feels. Help please.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: Ex boyfriend wants to "work things out," but doesn't show much sign for commitment and uses the phrase "I love the person you are."
