This is a tough one. He may just mean that you are someone that rates high in his book, not literally, of favorite people. That's a compliment. If he is saying that instead of "I love you" and you have been in a relationship for sometime, he's not willing to commit. If he is saying it to you and you've only been dating for two weeks, he wants sex... Ask him exactly what he means by special.. Only he can give you the answer to this question but be prepared to hear something that you may not want to....
I means that you are special to him and that you are very pretty
she is very special friend.
if a guy says your wonderful it definitely mean that your very different from others and that your are everything he is looking for in a girlfriend and that your very special to him and he really loves you
some one say your special probably means you are importing to then or you are very special :)
He thinks you are a very nice person and would like to be your friend.
well he probably likes u. that or u mean alot to him as a friend. probably the first one.
If someone says they are very fond of someone else it usually means that they really like that person as a friend. It does not usually mean that they're them as a boyfriend or girlfriend.
No he is joking around
a 'paw mate' is a partner or a friend that isn't a very good friend or partner. they are usually lazy or says stuff behind there backs.
"You mean a lot to me" is not the same as "I love you." He might love you or he might just consider you a very good friend. You'll have to ask to be sure.
a very special friend you can go to when your down
He's a very rude individual and a bad friend, thinks he has a way with women, wants to have sex with you and is quite possibly drunk.
