Hey, /lgbt/, bi male here. There's this guy I like and ocasionally talk to, he's really sweet, introverted and innocent, and I really like him. He's shared a lot of stuff with me, like the fact that he has suicidal thoughts, that he is very lonely and his family doesn't really care for him (mother died of cancer), considering a couple of days ago we were basically strangers. Thing is I can't tell if he's just being friendly because he doesn't have any true friends or if he genuinely is into me. He has mostly female friends, he had some girlfriends but then again so have I, he dresses really well and whenever we talk he looks in my eyes, but still I'm not sure since neither of us are properly out of the closet. I don't want him to be weirded out so I'm trying to make it look sorta platonic.
Any tips on how I could tell if he does like me or not?

He sounds unstable and desperate for attention, I'd back out

Try moving the relationship up. Ask him to hang out or whatever. Play vidya/watch television/whatever you feel would be the best for you two. Go from there.
Seeing how he's suddenly opening up to you is a mixed sign. I mean we know he's not mentally stable and seems to be pretty lonely, but at least it shows that he trusts you more than a stranger. Take advantage of that.
