I hate to say I told you so, but, I did tell you. Now let's move on to today and what's happening in the present. Okay so he says, I don't want the boyfriend/girlfriend thing anymore, and he wants to be great friends. FORGET IT, he tortured you for a month without any contact, and you and I both know he knew 4 weeks ago what he wanted to do he just ignored it and chose to stop communicating with you. That is not the behaviour of a "great friend", in fact with the friends like that who needs enemies.
You need to make it perfectly clear that there wasn't even a glimmer of a "great friendship" for the last month, and how can you ever trust him again after he left you agonizing over what was going on. That's mean, self centered, and downright selfish.
That's just how I see it, I'm sorry for your pain, I've been there and it's no fun.
