He Surprised Me On My Birthday, What Could It Mean

I have this new friend~ and we only met twice so the kind of friendship that we have is pretty much a thanks-to-facebook-chat kind of friendship. 
I was surprised when he did something for me on my birthday, I mean, we're countries apart so he asked his friend to do it (the surprise) for him. 
I'm like, he doesn't have to. I mean. Who am I anyway? So I think that it's really thoughtful of him to do so. 

I don't really know why but we don't always have to ask why, do we? I'm just happy it happened and I'd like to do the same thing soon.
