could go either way... (please dont judge...)

ill try to keep this as short as possible. last year my best friend introduced me to her cousin. she told me he's kinda a whore, but he saw my picture on facebook and wanted to get to know me. I met him at the county fair and I thought he was cutr, and vice versa. we texted for the year between the two fairs, but never hung out because he lives an hour away and neither of us have our liscences. he got a girlfriend, but we still talked, and he still liked me, and vice versa. I saw him a few days ago at the fair and we didn't talk because we were both busy, but we texted that night. he told me him and his girlfriend had broken up but the only reason it didn't say so on facebook was cuz he lost his internet. I believed him. until I sawhhere here. I asked him if they we still dating and he said yeah but that doesn't effect us hanging out. I was upset that he lied but I brushed it off. before I found out that him and his girlfriend were still dating he had been texting me all kinds of stuff like how sweet I am and how much he likes me and how he's been waiting all this time for a chance to get to hang out with me and meet me. one of my friends thinks he's just trying to get in my pants, but another thinks he didn't want to hurt my feeling beccause he really does like me.. of course I want to believe he really does like me, but what do you think? I don't think he would've waited a year to get in my pants, I'm nothing that special. I feel like he really does like me, he's shy around me and
I knew I liked him more than ever from the butterflies he gives me. I really like him... but I don't know if I even want to date him (he chews, smokes, drinks, and he's not even 18, huge turnoff)... so idk. I don't know what to do, but I can't shake him, and if I walk away from this fair in two days without at least a kiss, ill beat myself up about it, and so will my bestfriend (despite him being a whore, she thinks he's serious about me...) I just don't know what to do...
