How to tell if a "player" truly likes me?

Asked: How to tell if a "player" truly likes me?

I met this guy and he kept talking to my best friends about me and how he wanted me to kiss him. He would tell my best friend "she would never kiss me, she is too beautiful." "the first time I saw her I was like WOW!"

So we hung out then one day he kissed me (i allowed it) and we kept kissing that whole day!

later when i was talking to my best friend ,who is best friends with the guy; i asked her if he was a player and she said yes but if he likes you he will stay with you no matter what. Then she told me that he treats girls 2 ways. The puppy dog: where he thinks you will do anything for him, and The princess: Where he wants you and he will fight for your attention. My friend told me that He treated me half and half.

While we were hanging out, me and the boy held hands and he would always hug me and put his hands around me, andwe acted like we were a couple! everyone thought we were cute together but he never made it "official." and whenever my friends bring up dating he just stops talking to them. But he keeps wanting to hang out with me..?

so I'm just wondering if he is truly playing me or he truly likes me
