Friends With Benefits After a Breakup

Me and my boyfriend were in a committed relationship for two years he recently broke up with me because there was big trust issues. we both still love each other a lot. and we’ve always joked that if we were to break up one day we would become friends with benefits. well when the day actually came he really did suggest we become friends with benefits. it’s evidently clear that we both don’t want to move on we had a serious conversation and we decided not to tell any of our family members or friends that we broke up and had some rules that we both wouldn’t try to date other people at the moment or move on. the difference is i still heavily want to be in a relationship with him i’m in love with him. but hes made it clear he doesn’t want to be in a relationship with me right now but he told me that in the future he feels we could be together again so i have hope. i’m trying to really get him back, but is this friends with benefits a good idea?? at first i was okay with it because i only trust him, but what if this actually really leads to nothing? and then eventually he actually does lose feelings and my commitment to getting him back just hurts me more. i know he still wants to be with me at least there’s a chance so i don’t want to lose him but is this really the best way to get him back? we still flirt and we still talk to each other like we’re dating but we just aren’t actually together but everyone else thinks we are. i don’t want to move on i just want to wait for him to want to be with me again. what should i do?
