I think you need to find a boyfriend who will accept that you need to be in the closet for as long as it takes for you to be comfortable. Presumably, if there was a steady boyfriend, it might make you more likely to come out because it would be easier for you two that way... That special someone will have to be particularly patient and loving. The young man you are describing didn't seem particularly patient, but it's sometimes difficult to focus and become completely committed after just one date. These things take time, and opportunities and work.
