Need advice with a young virgo guy

So I'm writing from my friends account. I dont really need it just for this. I just turned 19 and he'll be 19 in august. Im pisces and he's a virgo. He goes to my school and just 2 months ago he approaches me through our mutual friend who introduced him to me and told me he'd like to know me. He was kind of shy but cool. He tried a lot to grab my attention by being energetic, asking me q's and talking about his hobbies. He said he thinks im beautful and he'd like to get to know me. Couple days later he tells me he wants to ask me something and he asks me if Id be his prom date. He said there were two other girls he'd ask but he wanted to ask me first. I mean yeah i am really hot and its hrd for guys to get my attention as of dating aspects. So i told him yes, and now lots of people know. He'd text me all the time and ask if he could call me. On our conversations he'd make sure im comfortable to talk about whatever and he's just so simple and not making me feel pushed or anything. One day we go to his friends party and there he tells me he really likes me and asks me what i think of him. he asked me what i thought of when he asked me to the prom and if i got scared lol? He's kind of shy in school. Sometimes he sees me at my locker, he just looks at me and smiles without saying anything. Or asks me on the phone if he could kiss me next day.
One time, we talk on the phone for an hour, he started asking me random q's about my favorite color, music, movies, etc & he starts flirting intimately and asks me what i think about us doing it. I tell him i just got out of a relationship and i need time to move on to another dating. He tells me its ok & he wants to hang out with me more, to get to know me better, because he wants us to go out and us to be a couple afterwards. We talked of our past relationships and both opened up. He told me his ex cheated on him and now he has trust issues. But everyone tells me to go out with him that he's a great guy. I mean he's caring but there are couple ppl who say he's a player. I mean he's cute, he's very active everywhere and he's among popular students. Im not as popular. He's honest and does seem to care for more than sex. But I just thought to ask ur opinions about virgo guys. How do I prevent myself from being played? or how do I know he's not trying to get into my pants...maybe his honesty is fake. Maybe he knows all those skills great players have. I think i truly began to like him as well and forgot my asshole ex.

Everything seems to be going well so far. It's important not to compare any new man to your ex. Let actions speak for themselves. If he's not trying to get in your pants only, he will listen and understand what your position is on sexual relations and respect waiting while he gets to know you better.

I rarely rarely rarely think Virgo men ever fake honesty unless they don't want to hurt someone or unless they truly are just a plain jerk and definitely just want in those pants. Meaning, he can't wait, pressuring you, etc.

Time will tell, let him prove himself.

thanks. i know so far so good. im feeling like a scorpio for some reason when its me and him. we both understand each other in all terms or thats how i feel. Im just a somewhat cautious because this girl in our school he used to date but i think she cheated on him and he broke up with her. so i think she still has an eye on him and now he's friends her. But im afraid she'll take him away. she's like my competition. She's pretty, really really skinny (im skinny as well but she's much taller) and she's like all girly princess type (i hate). is there anything i should be aware of doing not to lose him?
he asked me for kiss today in school and he's not afraid of public, i am. it just sucks i work a lot and cant spend much time with him when he asks to hang out. he might get tired of it. but i feel i started to really like him. Any advice on how to keep him falling for me harder? lol

I'm here again and I'm just not sure if he's a player or he likes me for real as he says. He's always sweet to me and as i noticed he's sarcastic around his friends. He has a lot of friends who are girls and I noticed he still talks to some of his exes on facebook but not like he's trying to get back with them. There was a period of 3 days he didn't call me as he said he will and i didn't call him either. Half of school knows im going to the prom with him. And he has hooked up with lot of girls in the past whom i know. It makes me feel like i might be just a regular he might be playing with but at other part i believe when he tells me he really likes me and he seems to be shy sometimes i dk. How should take it from here? Should i text him first sometimes? should i send him flirty messages as he does to me?
