Search Results: playful conversation

So, I have this guy who is kind of full of himself sometimes but when we're alone, he's all sweet. Since we met, he started hanging around with my friends and me, was from the beginning kinda flirtarious, tho. For me he was one, yet he is very persistent with me and wants to spend time hanging out.. He already found out that I'm single and want sex only after marriage and these things (we talk a lot), often picks on me (teasing) and asks me lotss of questions, like what I think about this or that.
He is pretty popular, tho and lots of girls fancy him in my school and when we go out. But his attention is often on me-staring at me and all... It's just so weird because he obviously is a player (judging by his previous hookups etc. before we met), but why after all is he so persistent and stubborn? When we hang around in his house, he starts cuddling, is playful and all but because he knows what I think about further, intimate contact, he respects it too and keeps it cool, we have deep conversations, he even told me many private things of him and his not-so awesome past and all. He cares about my lifestile and me, once tried to kiss me but when I backed off, said it was only a joke and started laughing because of 'the funny face I made' and... ugh. Since a hole year it's been like that now and even my friends keep on teasing of us having a 'love-hate'-thing (because we quarrel sometime, since I don't wanna get too close to him but then in the end it never meant anything and we end up acting like it never happened, etc.) Is he starting being serious or what? What is that?
