What does it mean when a guy defends you?

Anonymous
Okay, so to begin, I'd like to say that this guy has shown various signs of liking me, like for example, he stares at me, smiles at me, etc...
Today, though, there was this girl who always gives me dirty looks and stuff, and she started really bothering me. She called me a bitch and stuff and she was telling me to fuck off. So I told her off, not noticing that this guy was around. As I turn to walk away, the girl is still telling me really rotten things and giving me really disgusting looks. Suddenly, I hear the guy scream, "Ey you! Do you have a fucking problem?" to the girl. And she looks all confused that he defended me. I'm just there in shock, confused also. Then he tells her this, "Leave her the fuck alone, don't ever let me catch you bothering her again!" And I walked away because I was all red. But he actually stood up for me! I'm in absolute shock because no guy has ever made me feel so safe and so happy. What does this mean? Does he like me? He has depicted many other signs of liking me. Like I said earlier, he is always staring at me, smiling, giving me elevator eyes, biting his lips, and more. But this really shocked me, because he isn't the type to just go and defend anyone. What does this mean? Does he like me?

I found it super sweet how he protected me and I really hope that he does like me.
