Healthy self-confidence is great, but there's a difference between being confident and being cocky. If you think this guy seems a little too confident in his efforts to win you over, it could be because he's had plenty of practice. Most people become at least a little nervous around people they're attracted to. A confident guy isn't necessarily a player, but if he doesn't break a sweat while asking you out or seems rather aloof about the whole deal, he might not be that serious about you. If the man is old enough to be your father, it could be a bad sign. Older players who are set in their ways frequently target younger, less experienced women who are easier to trick. Not every older man is a player, of course, but if there's a huge age gap and he exhibits other signs of being a player, that age gap may work against him. Similarly, not every player is an older man. There are plenty of young players out in the world, too. When he's texting someone, lean in his direction and peek at his phone. You don't even need to see the screen; in fact, you'll learn more by keeping your eyes on him. If the guy's a player, he'll probably yank his phone away faster than you can blink. Moreover, if he's always on his phone or looks at it more than he looks at you, that could be another bad sign. This piece of advice isn't an invitation to swipe his phone and look at his call log, though. Many people view that as an invasion of privacy, and even guys who aren't players might get upset at the breach of trust. You usually won't need his text or call history as evidence, anyway, since being overprotective of his phone is a bad enough sign on its own. Pay attention to the places he frequents when you're not around. If he still visits the same spots he went to when he was single and picking up women, there's a good chance that he's still in the habit of charming the ladies there. This does not mean that you should stalk him. A healthier way to find out where he's going is ask around and find out who might've seen him and where he was when it happened. You could also try visiting the spot you met him on an evening he might be there.

Summary: Watch out for over-confidence. Calculate the age gap. Glance at the phone. Track him down.
