Answer:

He's in the Intimacy vs. Isolation stage of psychosocial development.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intimacy vs. Isolation stage of psychosocial development centers around forming intimate, long-lasting relationships.

When failing this stage, it will most probably result in a devastating sense of isolation and perpetual loneliness. While succeeding will result in an strong, intimate circle of relationships.
