<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

Met at a college party. He seemed really nice and awkward. We did make out but he didn't try any funny business. Both of us ran across the street to go play in the park and it was fun. Gave him my number and he texted me four days later. Planning for coffee but he picked this dollar coffee place near his place... ( not that I'm a gold digger but dollar coffee? really?)

Then this random girl in this student group meeting started to talk about him. How he tries so hard to be flirty and a player but isn't one. He sent some other girl the exact same text as me a few months ago. She says some guy in his frat gave him a book on self confidence when he was really shy and awkward and he just took it too far. I asked her if I should cancel but she says it should be fine which I am really confused by. She says he might just want to hook up. But at the same time he hasn't had a girlfriend in like 4 years. Is this a red flag? Should I still go on a date? Can a player really change for the better?
<bot>: Guy I met at a party turns out to have quite the reputation. Should I be worried? Should I cancel our coffee date? He is also taking me on a coffee date that's a really cheap coffee place near his place...
