PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

i want him back so please just tell me what i need to do to get him back. PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING IF YOU GOING TO GIVE ME ADVISE! AND PLEASE ANSWER ALL MY QUESTIONS IF YOU CAN THANK YOU . ok I've been on all these websites on how to get your ex boyfriend back and they say no matter what don't call, let him call you. so i did. and it took him 5 days to call me, which i waited for, and it was the hardest 5 days of me trying my best not to call or txt him.(and they say act tough over the phone when he does call so i did, i acted like nothing was wrong)anyways so when he called me, finally, i answered and we were talking and he just started CRYING and saying'' i wish things didn't end up the way they did'', etc. BUT he NEVER said anything about how much he missed me or that he wanted me back...THIS IS WERE I AM CONFUSED. so after i got off the phone with him i called my mom to tell her everything and she said'' maybe he didnt say that because he doesnt want to get turned down and if you just tell him how you really feel he'll loosen up and say what he's truly feeling. so i took her advise and since i couldn't say it over the phone cause we already hung up with each other i decided to text him and i wrote; me: i just wanted to say i still love you and think about you all the time :) him: :) i just hope things work out the way they do :) ok now im confused! does he want me back??? is he playing head games with me?? is he trying to make me make me beg for him back so that he doesn't have to let his ego down??? what should i do?? txt him back and ask him what he means by ''hope everything works out the way they do''.??? or should i just say ''me too'', and drop it and wait again till he calls me or texts me again??? i want him back so please just tell me what i need to do to get him back.
