I personally don't think it's wise to pursue men who are not interested. Yes it's tempting to say he just doesn't know what he needs or he doesn't know how to accept love. Sometimes people fall in love with those who don't reciprocate , and it happened to you. But sometimes people have to work on their self esteem and sense of self- worth so they can respect themselves enough to not pursue men in this manner.

I agree he needs mental health help and it's sad he is struggling but at this point in his life he isn't ready to get help and he isn't ready to respond to romantic pursuits. Insisting that you know that he needs is kind of disrespectful to him.

It's also not wise to assume you know what he wants or needs or you become codependent, and you already preoccupied with his needs above your own .

I highly recommend alanon for you as well as therapy
