It's natural to be wary of someone who seems to have a bad reputation. If people keep repeating the same stories about someone, there could be an element of truth to them, but it's worth bearing in mind that rumours and misinformation can spread too.
It's possible someone who was hurt by this guy has decided to spread some gossip about him to put off other women. It's also possible that a woman who was rejected by him is doing it for revenge. This isn't to say what you've heard definitely isn't true, just that it's a good idea not to take it at face value. Sometimes, it's wise to follow your own instincts.
If you like this guy and he's being nice to you, you could give him the benefit of the doubt and go on a date with him. If you don't want to sleep with him, you don't have to. If you make it clear you won't sleep with him until you're ready it's likely he'll reveal his true colours. You'll probably find out quickly if he's only interested in one thing by the way he acts with you.
Does he seem genuinely interested in getting to know you? Does he ask lots of questions about your life and interests? Does he want to go on proper dates? Does he want to meet your friends? These are all signs he may want a relationship. But it's good to remember that forewarned is forearmed - if you get any vibes he's only after sex, just don't sleep with him.
Remember, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do or don't feel ready for. You're in control here.
