Does he even like me-gym guy

I met this guy at my gym, and at first it was nothing serious-just casual eye contact, small talks, that kind of slow build you don't even realize is happening until it is. But then it started feeling like something more. There was flirting... subtle at first, then more obvious. We'd talk between sets, he'd linger a bit longer than necessary, and there was this weird tension that both of us could feel but never directly named.

Then we started talking everyday video calls,voice notes sometimes random check-ins .Sometimes he was kinda weird disappearing and coming back like nothing happened we went out 3 times in 3 months but never u clear what is going between us it was clear he likes me but he was super inconsistent with his actions.No dates, like not even trying to spend time with me. And then one day suddenly we stopped talking. At one point, things took a turn. He had been drinking one night and gave me multiple calls which I was ignoring at first but he was calling so much that I picked it up and he ended up confessing that he needed alcohol just to gather the courage to tell me how he feels. He said quote " I LOVE YOU " and I not that drunk I remember everything I am saying and I don't wanna see u with anyone else but just me even if don't accept this proposal please let's just be friends like we were before.That moment honestly messed with my head and I was like it's been so many months u didn't call and now u are saying all this and he was like he was angry since I was not calling him and because it made everything feel real—like maybe I wasn't imagining the connection. But after that.....everything became inconsistent again .

Some days he's present-texts, says he's coming to the gym, talks like he wants to see me. And then other days, he completely disappears like I never existed in his world. No explanation, no closure, just silence. After that confession he has disappeared again for a month Whenever I asked u did not call and stuff his plain answer was I was busy too much tension and he is scared to do anything serious because he got cheated 2 times in his relationship .

And I'm stuck in this loop of confusion-where it feels like I'm constantly being pulled in and then dropped right back out without warning. I can't tell if this is genuine interest mixed with fear/immaturity... or just someone enjoying attention without any real intention behind it. At this point, I don't even know what I'm supposed to believe anymore. What should I do should I just block him ??
