Just a funny story that might put this into perspective for you:
My very close friend told me that in high school, she was fixed up with this geeky guy for a prom. He was nice, they had a good time, and that was that. She did this as a favor. He was fixed up with her because he couldn't get any girls from his HS to attend.
Fast forward one year. My friend entered a big 10 school as a freshman, and this campus has an enormously competitive Greek system. Imagine her surprise walking around the quads, when she noticed her former prom date, sans geeky glasses and zits, with contacts, cool clothes on, and a pretty girl walking with him. She nearly died seeing him like this, as he looked so changed! She said hello and although he noticed her, he did not make eye contact. He probably was embarrassed to see her and didn't want reminders of the past. Rude, but typical. He had apparently joined a popular fraternity on campus and shed his past awkwardness. Even made it into one of those hunky calendars that the sororities sell!
People can change. Hopefully your friend will be find his footing, get into a house, but not lose himself completely in the process.
