Where do things go now, do I move on or fix things? See

I (20M) met a guy (19M) at college earlier this year. We both attend a huge university in the South, although the school itself is fairly diverse. We started talking romantically in January, and he was actually the one who asked if I wanted to date him. Things were going great at first, but after a few weeks he suddenly ended things.

Later, he admitted the real reason wasn’t that he wanted to be single. He’s bi but closeted, and he said he was worried about what people would think if he dated a guy. What confused me is that his family is supportive of LGBTQ+ people, and some of his friends are too. He explained that his college friend group is more conservative and that their opinions matter a lot to him.

He basically told me that he makes many of his life decisions based on what his friends and family think is best for him, even when it isn’t what he personally wants. He seemed more concerned about maintaining their approval than pursuing a relationship he admitted he wanted. What made it even harder to understand is that I wasn’t asking him to come out or make our relationship public. I was simply asking him to give us a chance, yet he seemed unwilling to even consider dating me privately because of what other people might think if they ever found out.

After ending things, he ghosted me. A few weeks later he came back and told me he’d been talking to multiple girls, but things weren’t going well because they kept ghosting him. That hurt because he had told me he couldn’t date me, yet within days he was actively looking for girls to date. We started talking again, but eventually got into another disagreement because I couldn’t understand why he was willing to chase girls who treated him poorly while refusing to even try with someone who genuinely liked him.

A while later I randomly ran into him on campus and we started talking again. Eventually we hung out at my apartment. We played Mario Kart, watched The Boys, cuddled, and talked for hours. During that hangout, he told me he thought about me every day, couldn’t get me out of his head, and was genuinely sad that we couldn’t date. Hearing that made me think there might still be a chance.

A few days later, we went to a restaurant together. Before we met, he told me not to wear anything “too gay.” At dinner he seemed nervous the entire time and kept looking around like he was worried about being seen. Afterward, he suggested we cuddle in the park, but then suddenly changed his mind and said he needed to study at the library. Once we got there, he moved away from me, put on his headphones, and ignored me for about 25 minutes. When I told him I was upset, he acted like I should have expected that behavior because he’s closeted and worried about what people think.

Things got even worse during another hangout. I tried having an honest conversation about where we stood. During that conversation, he told me he ignored my texts on purpose, didn’t trust me because he thought I might out him, and didn’t really care about what I had to say. Hearing that after months of trying to support him completely broke me. I started crying, and at first he joked about it before realizing how serious I was.

Near the end of the school year, we met one last time and I thought we had finally gotten closure. We hugged and ended things on decent terms. The next day, while he was flying home, he spent hours texting me and being friendly. But as soon as he got home, everything changed. He ghosted me again, told me I needed to move on, and said he had only been talking to me because he was bored.

A few days later, he came back again saying he couldn’t stop thinking about me. Throughout the summer, we kept falling into the same cycle. He would tell me he really likes me and says he wants to date me, thinks about me constantly, flirt with me, talk about me visiting him in San Francisco, and say he wished we could be together. Then he’d suddenly pull away, become rude, or remind me that he’ll never date a guy because of what his friends would think.

Most recently, he told me he’ll never date a guy even though he really likes me and says he wants to date me. He also admitted he’s actively looking for a girlfriend because he’s tired of being lonely, even though he says he really likes me and has told me he wants to date me.

We got into one final argument. I told him that it felt like part of the reason he wanted a girlfriend so badly was because he couldn’t bring himself to date me. It also felt like having a girlfriend would make him feel more accepted by his friends and by society in general. From my perspective, it seemed like he wanted a socially accepted relationship that would impress the people around him, even if it wasn’t what he genuinely wanted.

What frustrates me most is that he constantly goes back and tries again with girls who don’t even seem to like him. He’s told me himself that he changes parts of his personality when talking to girls he’s interested in, and many of those situations end with him being ghosted or treated poorly. Yet he keeps going back. At the same time, he had someone who genuinely liked him and wanted to be with him, but he kept pushing that person away because of what other people might think.

At this point, I genuinely don’t know what to think. Part of me feels like he’s struggling with his sexuality, fear of judgment, and caring too much about what other people think. Another part of me feels like I’ve become an emotional safety net that he turns to whenever he’s lonely or wants attention.

**TL;DR: Closeted bi guy pursued me first, ended things because of what others might think, repeatedly ghosted and came back, says he really likes me and wants to date me but refuses because of his friends’ opinions. He’s also actively looking for a girlfriend instead and admits he’s kept me around for attention while being inconsistent.

** feel free to give your perspective!!
