What’s going on with him?

My close male friend has told me that I'm pretty, cute, or beautiful, but he also seems to imply that guys would just use me or don't really want me. Even when other guys have said I'm attractive, he still makes it seem like no one truly finds me desirable. So to him, I must be ugly, and he's just trying to make me feel better by lying about my appearance. He wanted to date me when I turn 18. He’s 27. When I was younger he said it feel like it was taking to long for me to turn 18.

This has left me feeling really sad and hopeless about ever finding love or even an honest friend or romantic partner. I'm struggling with a lot of insecurity and self-doubt right now.
