That's a bit tough. It could mean that he likes you in that way or it could just mean that he really likes you as a friend, depending on the guy and the situation. I had a friend who was like that too (called me beautiful even though I didn't really like it, paid tons of attention to me, was so caring, and was just nicer to me than to anyone else), but when I confronted him about it, he said that he didn't like me and only "deeply respected and cared about" me. So that's why I wouldn't get your hopes up just yet. The fact that he hasn't made a move is a bit worrying because if he was really into you he might have already made a move. Then again, he could be just afraid of rejection so he might just try to be nice to you in order to test the waters out first.
So if you really want to know for sure, then confront him about it. You may be disappointed (like I was) to find out that he was just being nice and he likes you a lot but just as a friend or you may find that he wasn't sure how to make a move yet and is really into you. That's why in these types of situations, it's best to just face whatever it is head on. I know it's fun to try to decipher his motives, but it can get to the point where it becomes pure torture and it drive you insane. So, like pulling off a band-aid really quick, get this over with and simply ask him.
