For backstory, I had a class with this guy, we'll call him Alex for a semester last year. I also had a crush on him, and asked him out (he had a girlfriend), and when they broke up he said it was bad timing. Over time the crush faded and we became friends. It was all virtual until school started in August and we spent every week together (in a group with my other friends). He is genuinely a good friend and I was initially scared to catch feelings, but I've been doing good at not. The problem with this is he is going through a player phase where he's talking to three girls. My friend said it perfectly "He wants anyone except you". I started to see that and wonder if it was because he thought I was unattractive, but after seeing all the girls he's been talking to, we're not that different. And he's called me cute before, so I can't be hideous to him. Then I was thinking about my personality when all of a sudden he started comparing me to other people. For example, one time we were sitting and talking about what we want in a significant other and he goes "See, all the girls I talk to just have no personalities, I want someone with hobbies and real interests... like you!". Another time was when he was telling me about a girl he was talking to and said "The only good thing about her is her music taste... it's almost as good as yours...almost". One last example is when he was telling my friends the story about his ex then he went "Not to be rude but she (his ex) was just SO boring... like me and her (pointing to me), we could talk about music for hours. My friend texted me later saying it was weird how he kept doing things like that and I noticed too. I'm not sure what to do or what it means.
