Michael was a boy whom Alex Dunphy dated.
He first appeared in "Baby on Board". When there was a prom at Alex's high school, after saying it was lame, she did get asked by a boy named Michael. When he came to pick her up, Alex tried to leave with him meeting her parents, but Claire insisted on taking a picture. Michael proved to be extremely effeminate; he commented on Alex's coral dress complimenting her skin tone, he made rather flamboyant poses when her parents took the picture, and he had a lisp in his voice. In other words, a stereotypical homosexual.
Alex believed him to gay and that he himself had not realized his own sexuality yet. But later at the dance, they made out (more than once) and had a little "under the shirt" action. This convinced her that he was straight.
In "Yard Sale", he came over. Claire started to think that he was gay, and Mitchell and Cameron confirmed her suspicions. Initially, Alex didn't believe that he was gay, but, finally, they convinced Alex to ask him.
He was reading a home decor magazine featuring Justin Timberlake when she asked him. This wasn't met well, Michael got very angry and upset and adamantly denied being homosexual. After she left, he questioned why everyone always thinks he's gay.
Later, however, they were seen being intimate again, so maybe they didn't break up definitely.
