okay so
i'm 16, and i need advice with this guy
we met when we were 11 or 12, and we started going out, the relationship was very awkward, we didn't know each other really well so we didn't speak often, we just knew that we both liked and cared about eachother. we broke up seven months later.
and we've been close ever since, we're not like best friends or anything, but we talk and have fun at school sometimes.
this year, we're in the same class, and we've started getting even closer.
i should say something about this guy.. he's a player, like a big one. but not the kind who's a jerk to girls or anything, but he never stays with just one girl, it's just that most of the girls he know are friends with benefits, including two of my best friends.
but whenever we talk i feel really attracted to him, and he makes me feel SO special, but i know he does the same thing with every other girl, but he just keeps flirting and i flirt back, and untill last month it wasn't a big deal and we used to tease eachother and that was it.
a few weeks ago i noticed that he stopped talking to me, and we stayed like that for a week or so, not one word.
i found out from a friend that he was pissed at me because apparently i "didn't care about him" because he always initiated the conversation and if he didn't start talking to me we didn't talk and stuff like that, a few days later he started talking to me again out of the blue and now we're fine, but i dont get it.
also, a friend told me she was talking to him, and they were talking about couples and why he was single, and he said "there's no one worth having, except maybe sarah (me), she's the only girl who's girlfriend material" and they changed the subject then.
so i dont know what im supposed to do. i mean im really into him, he's really funny and we get along so well, but i dont want to get my hopes up or ruin our friendship... it's just that i know him, i know he's not the kind of guy to get into a relationship, but what if i was an exception or something.
but still, i keep telling myself that every girl likes to feel special.. and he makes me feel so special, but i'm probably not... every girl who talks to him feels the same way i think.
so should i just keep things the way they are, chill and fun or should i expect something to happen?

Assuming he's being honest, then he might be more interested in you than in other girls, probably because you're special in a certain way, and he appreciates it. Question is, do you think he deserves you? I don't know his age now, but from what you described, he doesn't seem to be mature enough to sustain a relationship. He might just see it as something fun, just for the sake of it, without real commitment. If he shows you his true feelings for you, then I think you could start a relationship with him, carefully. If he doesn't tell you anything, you might just want to keep being friends, at least for now, know him a bit better, try to determinate if he would be a good boyfriend, and whether the feelings he has for you are something genuine or not.

we're both 16 now
And he is a good boyfriend i think, i mean he's only been with two girls in his life (me and someone else) and he's faithful and caring and affectionate and all that while in a relationship
the thing is, everytime i feel like what he's saying is sincere and meaningful, or everytime he touches me in any way (a hug, play with my hair, rub my cheeks) i see him doing something similiar with other girls...
I think i should just focus on the friendship and that's it.
I mean if i guy like that actually likes someone, he'll do something about it and just go for it, wouldn't he?

It may also be the case that he does those things to other girls as well because he might think you're not interested in him. But you're right, if he wanted a relationship with you, he would do everything so that you two could be together. If you feel you should only be his friend, then that is what you should do.
