How to Attract the Man of Your Dreams/breakup

Question
Ok well after he broke up with me, I completely cut off all communication with him. I do not email him, call him, text him, instant message him, or talk to him at all at school and avoid the places he hangs out. But he keeps coming up and saying hi, I am very brisk but polite, just saying "hi" and then beating it...acting like I have places to go, people to see and that I am indifferent to him. Would you say this is the correct thing to do?

Also, the last time we had midterms, he told me that we should not hang out with each other for the 2 weeks before the exam and that I wouldn't be hearing from him at all that week. So I backed off. Then 3 days later he was calling me asking to watch a movie with him.

Due this wishy-washy behaviour, I cannot take this "break" as seriously as I should be. I have a feeling after his grades go up, he is going to come begging at my door for a second chance. What do you think I should say then.

------------------------------
the "grades" excuse is bogus; it's either he's lost some desire for you, another girl, or both.
------------------------------
the day could have just been because he felt guilty; it doesn't mean his feelings hadn't changed previously; i don't know if he met someone, but he COULD have, or maybe wants more time to explore new territory; again, it's just my opinion, but i doubt if he's studying on a saturday nite
--------------------------------

Answer
1.yes  2. it depends how you feel about him at that point; but if you still think he's boyfriend material, tell him what your REQUIREMENTS are for considering getting back with him, including, but not limited to, that he realizes he's either in or out, and that you're gone with the first INKLING of waffling or disrespect..
