what should I believe

So I have been dating this guy for the last few weeks, his name is Hudson. We get along really well and we actually have an online relationship. We moved quite quickly and really started liking eachother and even said I love you. We met for the first time last week, it was really awkward and we hardly talk when we were with eachother. We had a few moments that were good but it was just really awkward. It felt like he didn't really like me. After the date, I texted him and told him that I felt he didn't like me but he kept telling me he does still like me a lot and wants to be with me. The next day, after school, my friend Jacob that goes to the same school as him told me that Hudson told him he doesn't like me and that if I ask to see him again he would make up some excuse to not go. Jacob has also asked to hook up with me before so all my friends told me that he could be lying to break me and hudson up. But I was really crushed because I actually believed it. I asked hudson if it was true but he denied it and told me he likes me. After all that me and Hudson have been great and saying we love eachother again and just really getting closer. But last night, Hudson's other friend told me that Hudson told him he doesn't like me and he said we're just friends. I'm really confused. I don't know what to believe and I feel so down about myself because I rly thought me and hudson had smething but idk if he feels the same way anymore. Plus hudson talks to a lot of different girls especially one who he non stop is talking to. If u have snapchat, his best friend list is full of girls and i'm second on it. But we talk alot so I don't understand how another girl is above me. I confronted him about that and he told me he only likes me and he doesn't like those other girls. But idk if I believe him.
