Search Results: nice things guys want to hear

Two weeks ago I met a guy at a party. We started talking, he was really nice and funny. We were both pretty drunk so after a few minutes of talking we kissed. The next day he texted me and since then we've kept in touch. He goes to the same class as few of my guy friends, but they haven't talked much until that party. My friends told me that they talk more since then and even want to start playing at the same basketball team.

But the thing is that I've heard from a few people that he's a player. I don't usually believe gossips, but few days ago I was with my friends and we've met one of his best friends. We started talking and he told us that the guy I've been interested in was pretty excited about our kiss (which I thought was no big deal for him because he kisses lots of girls) but this friend also mentioned that he's seen him that day on a date with someone. I don't really know if I should believe him because I saw on snapchat that he was with his friends then.

Recently he texted me that he wants to go out somewhere with me but I texted him that we should go all together (me, him and my friends who go to the same class with him). He texted that it's okay with him, but I don't really know how to act. I usually don't have problems with dating but I want him to be really interested in me, I don't want to become like all of these girls who date him because he's attractive.

So my questions are: Is it possible that he's interested in me or does he want to only get to know me but stay friends? Also, how should I act? Should I show him that I'm interested and risk beeing seen as most of the girls or should I be more reserved but risk that he'll think that I'm not interested?
