Is he a good guy, player, or am I just overthinking everything?

It may be a little long..

I met this guy on twitter two weeks ago and he started talking to me and he gave me his number. He's a really nice guy and all and I really thought he was cool. He apparently knew who I was for quite some time but never talked to me because he was afraid of rejection, that was hard for me to believe because I'm so incredibly insecure about myself. He explained how he wanted to talk to me now and I thought it was alright and whatever. Well, we decided to hang out and he and I ended up making out .. We really did have a connection. He told me he didn't want to go too far because he respected me and he wanted it to be special. I thought, wow this guy is great, right? Well the next day his EX which used to be a guy who I really fell hard for he who pretty much used me, lied to me and made me feel and look like shit contacted me to tell me all of this new guy's history. All of his secrets, even his most personal secrets..And he also made up some stuff too. I ended up telling the new guy that we talked and admitted to SOME stuff and he was being completely honest. I didn't know who to believe anymore.. The guy who was a constant liar, always using people and lying to people and leading them on, or the guy who i just met who hasn't been anything but sweet to me.. This however soiled my image of the new guy completely.. I find it so incredibly hard to trust him in anything he says. It's gotten to the point where he will say he just took a shower and I just have these crazy thoughts of him just talking to a bunch of other guys. But this guy doesn't seem like a player at all! He's so sweet but that's just how he is to everyone, everyone loves him and he's so dorky and into movies and games and junk.. very kept to himself. My question is, should I be worried this guy's a player? Because from what his EX told me he's pretty much this evil monster, but I haven't had any proof of that.. Other than him being super nice and kind to me.. He takes me out, pays for my dinner, texts me all day.. He's just so nice to me.. We hardly ever talk about sex too. He said that he respects me and that he doesn't want to do anything I'm not ready for. What do you think, should I be worried this guy's looking to get it in, or does he just seem like a genuine and nice person?

I believe in trusting until trust is broken, so in my opinion that guy is a nice person because he hasn't done anything bad to you yet. Also, if you know someone is a lier, why believe them?
Players don't have time to take it slow; they only want one thing, and no matter what charming tactic they use, time isn't one of them.
I would do one of two things; one is pretend the ex never said anything and stop being paranoid and looking for something bad in your guy friend, or two is mention bluntly EVERYTHING the ex said to you and see his reaction to each and every thing. Perhaps it's all lies, or all misunderstandings.
Good luck!
