What should I do with this guy?

I used to talk to this guy a few months back..we stopped talking 4 2 reasons..1 he had issues talking to me about how he felt in person and 2 everyone had said he was a player and talked to a lot of girls. So we stopped talking. Also we started off as acquaintances and kind of became friends because we liked eachother. We didnt know 1 another well. Long story short I went on a school field trip this weekend, and he happened to be going. I thought it would be SO awkward. But it wasn't. We sat together on the bus and spent the whole weekend hanging out just talking about casual stuff. It was like we finally got to know eachother. On the second to last day, we finally talked about us. He told me he still really likes me..etc and I realized that I strongly like him too. I've never felt so comfortable around somebody, not even my ex. I was myself. I wasn't afraid to talk to him with my hair up and my pj's on @ 1 in the morning. Basically I've never felt this way before. I have this glow about me. The weekend was amazing. He didn't try to touch me once. It was really me making all the inappropriate comments lol. There were 2 dances each night, it's practically a grind fest..I didn't go but every1 came up and told me that he didn't dance with ANYONE. he was just by himself. Basically I'm torn. People say things at school like he's a player..but he's never had with a girl and he's never had more than one serious relationship before. Ok he has more girl friends than guys and he's friendly but if he was a player he would have already got some. And he would have been grinding on all those pretty girls @ the party. He's very attractive. He easily could get some..just because he texts girls doesn't mean ****. All I know is I like him a lot. I'm genuinely so happy. I'm glowing. & he really likes me too. He hasn't given me a reason to not trust him..it's just everyone's opinion that's making me question it..anybody's advice I'd greatly appreciate. :-) thanks
