My crush talks about other girls?

Anonymous
There is this guy who said to my close friends (they are also his close friends) that he is interested in me, and we flirt a lot. The catch is: he also talks about other girls in front of me.

I try to play it cool and if the girl is cute, I will also encourage him, after all, I would be willing to date them if I was a lesbian, I am not blind, heh.

But why on earth would he do that? Is he trying to let me know he is playing the field so I don't get ahead of myself? Is he being a jerk just to make me jealous? Wouldn't be smarter to hide it at least in front of someone you want to hookup with? He turned 18yo this year, could it be just stupidity because of his age? lol

It's not like I want to date him (or so I say to myself), but I don't feel good about it. If it's an indirect rejection, it should be said with all the words, right?
