There is only one way to find out for sure. Ask the guy involved was he joking or serious and see what he says.
he might like you or think of you as a friend
just be nice about it and say like " I am sorry I don't see that way but we can be friends if you want"

Does it really matter what your friends think? If you like him and you think he is good looking then that's all that matters! :) ~Lexx
Talk to him. Tell him you like him. It shouldn't matter what his friends think of you. And if it does matter to him what his friends think, you don't want to be with him anyhow.
An idiot that askes dumb questions Like you :D
We have and love our friends like anyone else.
he probably thinks you weren't joking. you might have made it akward for him.
