Is he playing me or have i got the wrong impression?

Sorry darling but he's definately stringing you along. you might just be the person he goes to when he doesnt have someone else on the side. sorry =( ive been in a similar situation before. its okay =) try to get over him. dont fall for his tricks. tell him the next time you see him that if he likes you he should be you with and you only but if he doesnt then he should just be your friend meaning no touching, kissing, any of that. that should get an answer out of him =)
