Guys I need boy advice pls

I’ve been on and off with this guy over 3 years and it ALWAYS ends the same, we meet up and it gets awkward after a while so we just go home. A couple of weeks ago this happened again but this time he kissed me and it ended differently for once, this is the furthest we’ve ever got together. We went out shopping together and was holding hands and doing all this cute stuff but then when we get home he acts SO uninterested. We also had a weird conversation about this. He said there was a situation that he could look past but his family couldn’t, it was about my name. His family have had complications with someone with the same name as me and apparently they hate her and when he told his parents about me they acted weird but he will speak to them. I thought this was so weird but I just need someone else’s opinion on what to do with this guy.

So is this a weird situationship? I think it will just be better to let go at this point.

It sounds like calling it on and off is a little generous. Reading between the lines, very little seems to have actually happened in that time. His family being wary of you because of your name is absolutely ridiculous, and him refusing to commit to you and/or keeping his distance because of that means it's very difficult to see any sort of sustained relationship here, let alone an actual future. I don't see a reason why you wouldn't just leave this alone and move on. It can't be giving you what you want.

But are you seriously invested in this guy. Like your mood depends on him and you’re giving a lot of your time to focus on him. I feel like if you’re still focused on the people who are being consistent and also on your passions, then this isn’t that bad.

You can like the boy and not the parents, I mean they sound weird ngl but you should give it one more go and if he stills acts uninterested then leave it. It sounds like a strange situationship and it doesn’t sound like he has much to offer, but obviously I don’t know that far. If something strange like that happens again u should probably have an open conversation about how you feel. Also if it gets awkward by the end that’s probes not a good sign after 3 years, it’s moré common for it to be awkward at the start
