why are men really complicated to understand?

we met few years ago and rumour started surfacing ,that I have a crush on him and the whole campus found out including HIMM!Not too long after that ,turns out I did like him a lot ,by a lot ,I mean A LOT,
anyway ,we never talked to each other ever and at first he really avoided me and really hated it when someone shipped us like you could see his face fuming .As time went by ,he started reacting differently when someone shipped us ,he starts smiling ,looking at me and smiling ,blushing saying 'shhhh' and THIS IS COMPLETE CONTRAST TO WHAT HAPPENED A YEAR AGO YEAH.Me and my friends started noticing that he started looking at me alot.The guy who used to get ****ed and scream at his classmates to shut up had completely switched up.So this got my hopes to cloud 9 but we still never talked.
When his friends started noticing he was reacting differently,they were shocked and they started saying stuff like"she likes u, u like her,just go talk to her,admit it ik u like her ,"he didnt tell them to stop he continued smiling and blushing like a fool.
once i was sitting opposite him and his friend and,they both looked at me and his friend said to my crush 'ik ,i suspected you from the beginning " then they turned back at me and he smiled.lets note that we still havent talked.
seeing this and bunch of other weird weird behaviour from his side ,I decided to confess and asked his friend to help me bring him to a place.he brought him tot hat place and my crush clocked out i was going to confess ,he started freaking out and said'i need to i need to go' and he left.Later his friend told me that he said 'i didnt want to embarrass her ,but its haram i'll never date anyone.yes hes muslim i respected that ofc i was heartbroken for a long time but respect.
3 months later,now he has a gf and he's cheating on her with 2 other girls,zinnah right away ,his friends and my class still ships me w him and he does the same;smiling,blushing ,looking at table.
his friend even said to this another who liked me "stop stealing his girl, she's his girl" my guy he's sat there blushing and smiling and honestly if my friend said that to someone I didnt like then Im sorry I would have pounced on her and asked her to shut up but he jus sat there.He continues looking at me so so much and just staring at me for ages that the whole class would notice but bro has a gf ?how is that not haram man?

to check his reaction,I started talking abt other guys in front of him and he started getting moody with everyone and gave me a nice angry sideye everytime I did.Few days ago it was my bday and they make mine a big deal so I dressed up a bit and entered into my class,he stared at me for a good 2 minutes my friends were telling me this and note that my friends hate him.
right now,im at the point where i dont even like him but am really curious in the intent behind his weird heaviour and actions.I want to get a chance to talk with him so I can clarify everything but it wont happen ever.Theres a reason we meet everyone but I still dk why i met this guy, Hes literally been playing mind games and I really really need help to understand him.one year left until i never see him again and im feeling hopeless

I have a similar story, I had a crush on my friend. She sorta did have feelings but she was confused and declined me. Even after declining, I asked her to be on good terms with me but she still continued to flirt with me and I knew she just loved the attention that I gave her and craved the feeling. She moved to a different friend group and after a while she came to the realisation that she also liked me more than a friend and asked me out genuinely because we started talk about everything. By then it was too late and I was with someone else. Even during my relationship I still had a crush on her as sad as it sounds. I still looked at her as she stared at me across the room, everyone wanted to know what was going on. But I ruined it by dating someone else in spite of her rejection. Now she’s in a different university and I still think about her. We sorta stopped talking too and she has moved on.

The only thing different about our story is that the guy in yours was like the girl I first had a crush on. He’s an attention seeker. If he truly had anything for you he’d drop it and date you. The only reason why he still looks at you like that is because he likes the attention. You said it yourself, he’s dating and cheating. I suggest you stay away from these types of people because he doesn’t have anyone in mind, not even his religion is a priority over his desires.

The question is, who cares? You said it yourself:

"he has a gf and he's cheating on her with 2 other girls"

You've just described a guy of poor moral character, so he certainly isn't worth anyone's time or attention.

shouldnt he realize his boundaries with me? I'm not comfortable with him staring at me whole day and I cant even tell him .

What's the issue with saying "hey, can I have a word at lunch/break?" and then telling him that the staring or whatever is making you uncomfortable?

Since the whole campus is aware of the situation ,even if I walk 2 metres away from him everyone will start to scream and make a big deal out of it.He's always with his friends and he doesn't admit it in front of his friends.We have never talked ,but I know he's the kind of person who would say 'no ,say whatever you have to say here".When I tried to confess ,he got really restless and started freaking out sm so its kind of impossible.We have never been put next to each other or sat next to each other as well so its really hard to get hold of him.He's a very complicated self-obsessed person therefore anything I do makes him think I'm obsessed with him but I'm not and I'm really really annoyed because he's created this impression to everyone.

He still thinks that I like him but I'm getting fed up with his nonsense and other peoples conceptions about my feelings ,they are gone and done I don't how to make it clear to everyone.No ones believes it and talking to him is very unlikely anytime soon .Ig I have to hold on one more year until I never see this lot ever again.

I feel like he just loves the attention you're giving him ,he is possessive over you (he wants you to only like him) .Seriously ,guys like him are going to regret all this later ,just act like he doesn't exist and you'd notice him trying to get your attention more.Plus I promise there are guys who would die to date you so dont lost hope okay

Lots of words about one guy - wow. Honestly I wouldn’t waste your time - as life goes on you will realise there’s loads of fish in sea - if your nice you will get plenty of interest from Lots of angles and won’t need to procrastinate about one fella and his reactions . He’s a little star on your stage right now - forget him and bring on some new ones - you’ll soon forget about him believe me )
