hhhmmm. . . what do i do now?

so um, i guess that i have a story to tell and i want to know what you all think about it. any advice would be welcome.
so last night i got a ride home. while on the ride home said driver says something along the lines of i like you. he also says something along the lines of he's sorry that he keeps making fun of me for living in iowa, the fact that i don't have a car, i don't have an ipod, or a cellular device. so at the end of ride home he asks me if i need anything and if i do to just tell him. so i proceed to get out of the car and then he says to me hey i love you and i'll see you later. so i told him i love you and i'll see you on thursday.
so what do i make of this situation. i think that he was just being a nice guy, but i don't think that he was being very serious. however, i think that he just recently got out of a relationship, but i don't want to be the booty call. i personally think that he was just kidding but i'm very curious about what you guys think on the subject. obviously i'm not very hip on the dating scene. i just don't want to wreck a cool friendship but then again, i think that this guy is all around full of awesome. any help would be great. tell me your various interpretations of the scene, and then we'll roll from there. i'll be back for comments in the next couple of days.
so i think that i'll see you sucka foos later. make it happen cap'n
