 It's a strange world we live in when hearing IN PERSON that someone likes something of yours is valued BELOW a click from that person on a website. Any chance he thought telling you directly might mean more to you than just clicking on a "Like" button the way he does for other people's pictures? Some people, men and women, are still old-fashioned like that.
Facebook likes are about the most bland, passive, non-intrusive expression of approval there is. Just because a person likes your picture does not mean that person also likes you, unless you're taking photos of specific sexualized body parts or a million selfies in the bathroom mirror with a duckface and posting those to Facebook. I guess a guy who clicked like on every duckface selfie might be suspected of a crush on you (or maybe a crush on your bathroom sink). But if someone posts a picture of him/herself in an interesting location, wearing a funky outfit, or doing something noteworthy, "liking" the photo does NOT necessarily mean the liker thinks the likee is attractive. It just means they like or approve of something going on in the photo.
For example, I posted some photos of myself on an outdoor trip last week and a half dozen current and former male coworkers, most happily married with kids, were among the likes. Either half my workplace has an inappropriate secret crush on me OR, much more likely, they thought it was cool I roped up and went rock climbing. Hmm.
That said, I think you are reading way too much into the behavior of someone you are not even dating. Unless you and he have an agreement to be exclusive with one another, who he wants to talk to or like photos of is entirely his business. If he really does think all of them are smoking hot and he wants them to know it, he is free to do that too BECAUSE he is single.
Speaking of which, is there a reason why you two haven't progressed past friendship? Maybe he is hoping you'll get jealous enough to make things official with him...
Hope this helps. Good luck and best wishes!
