But I think he's too afraid of letting people know, and he's going out of his way to not say it. I don't think he will be able to outright say he likes you or that he likes men.
The way he behaved after you came out is a clear indication he's not comfortable with admiting his own sexuality. I believe you think the same.
What you can do is get him alone, do things like nothing has happened, laugh, joke and what not, but throw in there "I'm glad we can have a good time again, you were behaving strange last week"
And if it goes by smoothly without him getting upset you have to make a move, meaning you have to tell him "I came out to you because I like you. I'm not trying to make you uncomfortable or upset, but you have to know"
The possible outcomes:
-He can start behaving strange after that and then back to normal, meaning he really can't admit his own feelings.
-He will feel safe enough to come out to you, although most likely will ask you to keep it a secret.
Either way, you have to tell him, because if you don't you're going to be hung up on him and you won't be able to either get what you want or move on. Tell him!
I'm trying... He asked me about my fuel tank (because I had to fill it after the last time I went to his place), and I said Shell is good, but I think the tank lasted longer because we weren't speaking to each other last week because I thought that as it seemed all good again, it was safe to bring it up. He simply slapped me in the chest jokingly and said "don't be silly, we're all good!"
And when I said it was late and I had to go home he said "but I thought you were going to sleep over. call you brother to let him know!", and seemed like he really wanted me to stay. I might be seeing things the way I want them to be, but I actually think we're on to something.
