GUYS: from your standpoint, does this older guy actually like me?

So theres this guy i've been seeing, lets call him Mark. He just graduated highschool (18 yrs) and im 16 yrs. However I am not a naive nor easy girl. So mark and i had been texting for about 2 weeks and then i agreed to go on a date with him. We went out to dinner and a movie. Afterwards, I gave him just one kiss (peck). Then when i got home we were texting and i decided to ask what his intentions were. and he said that he had never left a date feeling so thrilled with just one kiss and he wants to settle down, hes done the whole player thing for awhile. I decided to believe him. Then we went on about 6 more dates and we texted non stop. He even suprised me with roses. Each time leaving with only a couple of kisses, and on the 7th date, made out in my car. Then a few days later i went over to his house and we hooked up (he fingered me). He didnt pressure me into anything and he stopped when i said to and hes really sweet. But after i got home i felt really bad about myself i had only been fingered by my ex and we dated for a while....so i told him it was over and i didnt wanna be used. and he felt reallly sad and then i decided i was being really harsh and we got back together...I understand hes older and hes already had so he goes at a faster pace and was probably nothing to him, but to me its kind of a big deal. Anyway, do you think hes using me? We hangout a lot and talk about everything text all day and hes really sweet and his friends have told me that he is pressed/whipped and that they think he likes me legit. (but then again..they are his friends...)
