Why does he treat me differently than his other girl friends?

Anonymous
So, I really like a good friend of mine, he's very popular and a cuddly kind of person. He really cuddles a lot with all his closer girl friends but doesn't ever make out with any of them. Once he frienszoned a good girl friend of him and as he talked to me about it he said that he only wants a relationship if he really likes the girl. That's because he doesn't have time for a not so special girlfriend, as he loves his sport and would prefer to spend his time doing that than being with his girlfriend.
The thing is that we also cuddle a lot and are close to each other but most of the time the one that takes initiative to cuddle or to hold his hand is me. I know he doesn't dislike to be close to me because the times we slept in the same bed he always wanted to cuddle. But when were at school or simply not sleeping he almost never takes the initiative. He also writes with his other girl friends and always texts a lot of hearts and things like that, but when we write he almost never writes that way. Once I asked him why he doesn't treat me like that and he told me: "I don't show you that I like you because I really like you." I don't know if I can take it seriously because he does say a lot of things that sound nice but aren't really meant that way.. But he said it and it made me wonder if it's true? He's a really nice guy but he isn't good in showing what he really feels, he's a person who just enjoys life and doesn't really let himself being stopped by any kind of problem. I like him a lot because of the way he is but don't want to ruin our friendship, as he really is one of my best friends. But if you could help me understand the situation a little better it would make me really happy :)
I'm sorry for my English :P I'm not a native speaker.
