Unemployed, nothing to do, getting lazy, never in the mood - Have considered the idea that he may be becoming depressed?
Depression takes a hold of a person like that. You suddenly feel as though you just can't face the world anymore. No matter what you try to accomplish, you still feel useless and uninterested. Perhaps his job and living situation has just gotten the best of him.
I'd suggest just sitting down and talking to him about what he wants to do with his life. Perhaps it's time for him to take on more classes, pick up a hobby, or just get out of the house more often. If he can stimulate his body and mind in a way that make him feel productive and functional, then perhaps he can pull himself out of this romantic funk.
If it seems deeper than that, I'd suggest that he go talk to a professional. Even just one short consultation with a doctor might help out.
