I'm so confused! Does he like me?

[608]

So this guy at my drama group sent me a Facebook message saying:
'You are simply gorgeous, ur smile is bright like a star that just exploded right in front of my eyes and your eyes sparkle like the reflection of fireworks over a perfectly calm lake on a cool 4th of july night and your lips are the most stunning long story in short- ur beautiful! '

That was so unexpected but I thanked him and asked him what made him tell me that, and he said he guesses it was his instincts. I'm really confused because I sometimes think he dislikes me as a person, as once he said for some reason he had a feeling I was evil.I don't talk to him often but when I do he almost always asks me about my friend at my school who he knows, and says she's really pretty and stuff. When I read the message I actually thought he might have been joking or he meant to send it to someone else but accidently sent it to me. It was nice though but very unexpected and I dont hhave a crush on him. Is he saying he likes me?
