I [22f] went on one date with a guy [24m] who was really nice but I think might be in the middle of a mental breakdown. Am I under any obligation to see that he gets help? If not, do I ghost him?

Hello r/relationships.

Quick backstory, I'm just finished up a summer class. I had sort of a crush on the TA who was a really good looking, very insightful, helpful, truly nice guy. The class ended Wednesday so I told him Id like to stay in touch. He asked if I was free Saturday and I said yes. I was super excited because I really like him.

We went out to dinner and for the first bit he was totally cool and I was having a nice time because he was essentially the same guy that had been in class with us. It was almost like a switch turned and he started talking about the craziest stuff. I mean like beyond anti-vaxx and flat earth because these were things he was convince were happening to and because of him.

I don't want to go into huge detail because I know he's on reddit but lets just say he talked about aliens, secret martial arts tournaments, being watched by the government and he always felt like he was being followed.

It was so sad because beyond that, he is a REALLY good guy. I mean like a type of guy who could have the world open up for him socially, romantically, professionally, you name it.

Am I under any obligation to see that he gets help? I know his family lives in town and he was really good friends with our professor so I could tell them. Or is this a situation I need to just stay out of?

If I stay out of it, do I explain why? Or do I just ghost him and hope I don't run into him again?

tl;dr: Guy I went on a single date with may be in the middle of a mental breakdown. Am I under any obligation to see that he gets help? Or do I back away, if I do that do I explain myself or do I just ghost him?
