What is his intension?

I have a guy chatmate, we were school mates before but we are now both mid 30s. I am confused because he is very caring and protective of me. We were arguing and I told him what I want and asked him what He wants. He said he wants what I want. Even if we had arguements he doesn’t stop messaging me. Our common friend told me that he was a player back then.
