Does this guy like me?

I met this guy through friends because they've known him for a long time and they got us to hook up (make out) the first time we met. I saw him every once in a while after that and we would just hug and says "How are you" and stuff but then i ended hanging out with him and my friend and his friends one night and then we all hung out again and then i went to a kickback at his friends house two weeks ago and we were talking the whole night and now i've really started to like him and we were IMing on facebook last week for a long time and he was saying flirty things to me and now i just wanna know if maybe he likes me? and my best friend asked him what he thought of me and he said i was "pretty cute" and "bad ***" so what does this mean?
