Why do some people stay stuck on someone they can never have?

I like a guy but he is madly in love with a married woman from another continent. This had been going on for many years. He talks to her online a lot and says he holds her very dearly to his heart. He says he doesn't want to fall in love or date anyone else but only likes to mess around. He is also sad that he knows he can never have her. To me, this is probably the dumbest shit I ever heard. why would anyone quit dating just so they can dream about someone they can never have?

I asked "do you know you will miss out on so many things in life?" He replied "I'm fine with it".

It just doesn't make any sense to me. Are some people just too weak to move on?
