Is he playing games or could he really like me or is this pointless? ladies, men esp!?

To tell you the truth he does sound kind of tricky to me, but I not gonna Lie I do that at times to, I would start texting someone and the I lay my phone down and forget wat I was doing ( or fall asleep) and I don't answer til later, so he might just be busy. If he says he like you then take if from there. If it starts to get worst then tell him that it is not working out and that you feel that it migfht be better if yoou two was just friends. Sometimes it is not ment to be but for now just have fun with it and see were it goes.
