For the most part, Elliot is what he's made himself for his parents, a model student and all around polite young man. He's trying to use his time at the Academy to reinvent himself and explore the parts of himself he's shut off in the pursuit of perfection.
For all he enjoys time to himself, nobody ever really wants to be alone.
Elliot isn't exactly the easiest person to get to know, because he spends most of his time flipping between how he wants to act and how he thinks he ought to act. For the most part, this leads to a lot of time wasted thinking about what he should do instead of actually doing it. It's probably this that leads him to enjoy the company of more impulsive people.
However unfailingly polite and helpful he strives to be, Elliot is still human and he can't like everyone. He tries, of course, but there comes a point where even he can't try any more. Once that line is crossed, there's very little that can convince him to give someone another chance.
Elliot has had crushes and relationships, even lovers. However, he finds it hard to attach himself to someone emotionally, and his very few relationships have always ended in part because of that emotional distance. He tends to try to use physical affection as a way to bridge the gap and as past experiences have shown, it doesn't always work.

EDIT: I sort of borrowed the general format from Astrid and Gage's plot threads to get everything out there before I organize it how I want. It's still a WIP, but all the info's out there now so I removed the WIP tag.
