What does it mean when somebody calls you 'special'?

We were talking about how he always remembers things about me and he said 'its because you're special' what does that mean. We like each other btw.

i think it means he cares about you alot. from my personal experience a guy and I who have a really special friendship/love relationship always said no matter what happens you're special in my life and could never forget you. plus if a guy remembers little things you say or talk about he's listening and cares, many guys don't listen to little details. like my guy friends, myself, and the guy I'm always on and off with were talking about special things to do for someone and I made a comment of rose petals and when I went to his house on valentines day he had sprinkled rose petals around and the conversation had been 9 months before. when he says your special, he means it..if he remembers things you say and do without even saying you're special, you know it..hope that helped a little
