Is it normal to feel like this?

I am an 18 year old male. I have a friend who is a 19 year old male.
I can't help but hold on because I feel like it could become something more than friendship.
He doesnt act straight when he claims to be. Hes known all along that I like him too. Yet, hes spent the night multiple times and we shared a bed, we played strip poker together once, and I give him massages a lot. I've even reaffirmed my feelings for him verbally and he wasnt creeped out or anything.

But I am confused. He often makes plans with me then makes up an excuse on why he cant do something. He says he will come over on a certain day, then on that day I wont hear from him until the next morning and he will have some excuse as to why he couldnt. Its frustrating because I don't know if he is lying or telling the truth.
He also will just disappear for days at a time and ignore all my calls, then randomly text me with some bs excuse as to why he wasnt answering.
Another oddity is that theres been about 3 times where he has gotten mad because I "wont give up" on him and keep pushing him. Yet, the things that I did to make him uncomfortable, he made no effort to stop or remove himself from.

Its been two days since I heard from him and hes been ignoring my calls and texts. This isnt the first time this has happened.

Whats his deal? Is this normal?

    I can relate to your male friend completely. I'm a girl and I do the same thing to I guy I talk to all the time, I'm fine with talking with him but when he starts pushing me, (because I know he likes me) it just feels uncomfortable and I feel I have to ignore him and he will stop. Maybe your friend is worried about what other people think and is worried about coming out even more. Maybe he enjoys your company but doesn't feel he could ever be in a relationship, just liking the attention with no strings attached. Have you ever really talked to him about it? I wish I could help.

    He may be having a hard time coming out. He feels it but might not truly accept it yet. I would just give him some time and be there for him. Being gay is really hard to do in a society like this right now
