Is he trying to manipulate me?

So I was dating this guy, but we broke up because of some misunderstandings, I said certain things I shouldn't have saud.. He was someone who dated multiple women in the past, but I somewhere felt that he had a soft corner for me.. We didn't talk for a few months, but I finally gave in and texted him as I missed him.. He asked me what made me say such things to him in the past, so I told him how one of my friends said that he'll use me and leave me.. He replied by saying that maybe he was the guy my friend said he was, but with me, it was different.. He even said that I have no idea what all I meant to him.. Was he being honest or id he trying to manipulate me?
