What does it mean to be a "player?"

The term “player is usually used to describe someone who is interested in the sexual side of a relationship but not the other parts of a relationship. It’s OK to want to get to know lots of people and stay away from a committed relationship, especially when you’re young and learning about what you want in a partner. But it’s important to be honest with the people you’re seeing or talking to. Otherwise, you might mislead or hurt people, especially if the “playing” includes sex. You also have to think about your sexual health and that of other people.
