What does it mean when a guy calls you bae?

I know it means before anyone else or something, but that's not the point of the question. Some guy i talk to called me "the biggest bae" but we're not going out or anything. And he keeps calling me cute and stuff and said he loved me? I'm confused. We're not together so what am i to him.
