Does he still like me now?

've been good friends with this boy since junior school all the way up to secendary school. And during junior school we fancied eachother and went out for a bit. But in secendary school we were just friends and he used to always hug me and stuff. Like one time he randomally came up to me and hugged me tightly and said "I love you chloe" and he doesn't really hug other girls apart from me. Does he care about me or something?? And also my friend jess spoke to him on facebook chat and was talking to him about the days when I went out with him in year 6 and jess asked him if he would ever like me in that way again, and he said that I am a good friend. But I don't think he will admit it to my friend. What do you think??
