Search Results: signs she is a player

He only talks to me in real life. Whenever I text him, he only replies with short answers and the conversation doesn’t continue. In real life, we talk everyday and he doesn’t mind body contact from me. He avoids body contact from my female friend such that he changed place to stand beside me instead of my friend. I place my arm on his shoulders he doesn’t seem uncomfortable too. There was once when my hand was still on his shoulder and he turned his head such that his face touched my hand. I’m pretty sure he felt it but he didn’t react and his face continued touching me for around 3 seconds. After that I went to Google for signs a guy likes you and it states that if a guy doesn’t avoid body contact from you, that’s a very good sign. We aren’t very close in real life but we are friends and have been classmates for 4 years. He tends to borrow books from me. I’m sure he isn’t a player or a jerk and he isn’t super close to any other female classmates. He’s just a gentleman. But there’s a girl in class whom he doesn’t seem close to but I know they talk online. He even lend her his sweater but I haven’t see them talk in person b4. I’ve been seeing this girl hold on to his jacket for around a month and I’m getting really confused, is he secretly dating the other girl or something? Or does he probably like me for a little bit? Is he closer to me or the other girl?

I've been talking to a guy for a while - we met 2 months ago and haven't had a chance to meet in person due to clashing schedules. We were both initially away for work and couldn't meet but as of late, its my schedule that is the hectic one. I've cancelled and rescheduled a few times but he has always been forgiving about it until the last one. He's not the most expressive person but would check-in before scheduled dates and seems to be getting more comfortable with me over text.
E. g only ever used the classic smileys but after a while, it was the kiss face emoji.

Anyways, I've explained my recent flakiness and told him things are crazier now as I'm going away for work. I think he assumed it was permanently (as i did mentioned I'd like to move away sometime) and told me that is really far and asked if that is what I wanted. I told him it was for 2 months ish and he said that is quite brief and that it will be fun. He also told me to let him know when exactly I'd be back/ available for a meet.

I told him the details and he said hopefully it will be love at first sight then?

Is that a passing comment with no meaning to it or is it reflective of how much he likes me/wants this to go somewhere?

I've been trying hard to find signs of him being a player as he has the makings of it but am drawing a blank.
