What does " he is sylvia plath coded" means?

Context : I was telling my friend about this guy that i am in love with who never talks straight, will say something like "there is no reason not to" when i ask him does he likes me and so on and so forth. There is so much to say but I dont have the bandwith to go into details. I just want to know what does being sylvia plath coded means? As a guy? In evey context possible.

Maybe that he’s dark, into poetry, suicidal. I don’t really know, just seems like a weird thing to say. If he can’t clearly ask you out and contribute to a relationship then move on and find someone who can (and who won’t stick their head in an oven lol)

Wow . That is almost accurate ( leaving the suicidal part which idk) lol. Thanks for the advice!

Sylvia Plath was heavily mentally ill and killed herself so that’s kinda implied. No working around that, but regardless your friends comment sounds like brainrot. I don’t think you need “every context possible”, just talk to the guy ffs.

If he talked enough i wouldn't have hovered around in reddit. I just wanted to know what the phrase meant.

It's funny that people are saying he sounds like Sylvia Plath, when he's so evasive that he sounds like her not-so-great husband, Ted Hughes. He was evasive and a TREMENDOUS liar and cheater.
