He is the kind of guy that is scared of being left alone, and so he pushes everyone away the guy that is scared of losing a home, so he never has one the guy that is so scared of being sad, he doesn't let himself be happy. Sometimes he likes cleaning Giovanni's room, sometimes he doesn't sometimes he likes Paris, sometimes he prefers America sometimes he likes being with a man, sometimes he likes being with a woman. And he is like this regarding most things. One day he doesn't want Giovanni and then when he doesn't have him he wants him again, then he wants Hella, and then he has her and he doesn't want her anymore. But what is clear is that David is too unreliable and volatile. It could be argued both ways, I guess, or that he does both at the same time. It is never really clear whether he really loves Giovanni or whether he hates him. Does he like guys? Does he like girls? He has a girlfriend (Hella), but then he meets Giovanni in Paris, and everything gets, well, messy. David struggles to find what he wants in a partner. This can be seen most obviously through his sexuality. He doesn't know who he is or what he wants in life. And as most protagonists in any twentieth-century novel, David is somewhat unreliable and a number of psychological issues.
