Does he like me?

I was talking to my friend Noah last night and he kept calling me cute, sweet, pretty, and always complimented me. I haven’t known him for too long, 2 months at most, and we’ve talked face to face only twice. When we talk, we talk for hours on end, and it doesn’t seem like he gets bored with me. Lately we’ve been texting and talking about hanging out more often since I found out he lives just 15 minutes away from me, and he also told me stories about our mutual friend who he apparently dated (his first actual girlfriend). I heard he’s “gay with exceptions,” from a friend of mine, but as we were talking last night he asked me out of nowhere if I liked him, and said he was just curious of the answer. Maybe I’m just over thinking things, but I’m thinking there might be a chance he might like me? What do you make of the situation? I’m not sure what to go about doing, but I’m curious if he likes me back and I’m too shy to ask him :s
