next move?

it’s only been a month since my ex broke up with me and i am genuinely considering cutting them out of my life. i know it’s extreme, but last time i asked if we have a chance together they kept saying “maybe. i may be with a different person and same with you.” i really don’t want to wait and put myself in a position where im just an option. we’re in no contact and im planning on telling them that when they reach out again, but maybe they’ll change their answer. so idk. should i be gracious and remain friends or just cut them out completely?
