Am I jumping to conclusions about this guy?

A guy who I had been dating for a few weeks decided that he thought we should be ‘just friends’ as I don’t live close by due to my job.However; I’m due to move back home soon which is near him and he has been texting me quite a bit just about stuff in general asking how I am etc.. . I’m a bit confused because I was ready to let him go as I understand what ‘just friends’ means but I still do like him. I’m not sure if he is seeing anyone else since we finished and now am thinking is there a possibility he wants to try it again? Or is he just genuinely being friendly? Any thoughts please?
