In terms of your speculation, I really don't know and you may never really know either. I think the main important thing is that he's off-putting to you, and you don't have to continue a friendship if you don't want to.

Thank you WovenGalazy for your reply,
The only reason why I even thought about being receptive to his spark of friendship is that its always nice to have people in your life you accept you for who you are.
However regardless of that if those people are not treating you with respect than it doesn't matter - the disrespect negates the acceptance. Like for example, I would never hang up on someone in the middle of a conversation to talk another call.
As I mentioned to another commenter, the bigger question I had was if his behavior was a sign of some sort of mental instability or personality disorder? Such can be problematic for others involved especially if the person knows but pretends or denies the behavior.
Again, were not talking about an insecure child. He's a middle aged married man with kids who reached out to me to a spark a friendship, pressured me to come out of the closet, came out of the closet himself but was all over the map in terms of his admittance behaving as if he doesn't know who or what he is from conversation to conversation.
His problems are his. I was more curious to understand the why behind it all.
'm not going to lose sleep over it but it's nice to hear other peoples perspective.
Thanks again!
