Keep going for it! If it seems like a glass closet, maybe you can help him come out fully if you both create a connection. Sometimes it takes someone special to cause them to come out.
But like how do I go around doing that? What if I tried to do something but they were like "**** no I'm straight hahaha!!"

Oh, I thought you meant he told you he was gay but wanted to remain closeted to everyone else. I guess just try to hint at stuff during convos and see his reaction/responses. Stuff like that could help you figure it out. Potentially, you can ask him if you guys become close. I don't know exactly, it's a tricky subject since you don't want him to feel outed and not open up to you, but you also want to potentially pursue things and want to see what happens...
I have no clue man, but best of luck in whatever you do.
