Be careful of reputations...for one reason or another they start, and they're not always accurate.
Damasa's right - you talk to the kid now, and you said you "enjoy his company," so there may be the starts of something there already. If it's going to make you happy, you shouldn't discount it because of his past. Talk to him about it, be open with him about it, and he'll offer the same to you. You can read at that point what he's feeling, and make a decision from there.
I wouldn't recommend going by reputation though.
