In fact, I would be slightly more cautious around his male friends since people tend to hang out with others who share their belief system.
Keep two eyes open. I can joke and tease and never mention the word rape. Ever. To my friend? To a stranger? When is this ever right?
Well maybe the one about the bear and the hunter. That joke is hilarious. But it's a bear and a hunter and they aren't REAL> You are real. Therefore, no rape jokes.

Note, this joke is 18+

Inappropriate. This was a platonic friend of yours? Really strange thing to say. Whether he has romantic feelings for you will show itself in other ways in the future. The question is: would you be interested in a guy like this?

What does it mean ? Could it mean he might be a bit attracted to me ?

Thanks in advance...
It is a rather tasteless attempt to let you know he finds you attractive and would like to sleep with you if he could. But don't worry. Chances are, every other male friend you have wants to sleep with you, too. That doesn't mean they (or he) is going to do anything about it.

Here is a rule of thumb that will rarely fail you in life: men almost never go out of their way to befriend women unless they have a romantic and/or sexual motive. Almost never. If you have a male friend who goes out of his way to see you and spend time with you, the chances he hopes for something more than friendship some day are about 99%.

A statement like that would unnerve me. Joke or no joke, friend or no friend. People don't say something like that to another. If it were me in your shoes, I would excuse myself from all future hang outs.

If you have a guy friend, that means he's attracted to you.

Guys aren't friends with girls that they wouldn't consider having sex with.

Unless they are queers.

Tread carefully.

Rape is really not funny.
