Very jealous.

His stalking is an extension of his "boyfriend act." He is aware it's a bad thing to do.

Afraid of the current relationship changing. He wants to date, but thinks staying as a childhood friend is better than confessing and being hated, so he clings to that status.

If dating

Possessiveness and jealousy show more strongly.

While he treasures you as a lover, the fear of being hated doesn't disappear.
