Since it's only ben a few days I wouldn't yet worry about him liking you or not. He isn't at the point yet where he fully trusts you but is curious about you at the same time, is my impression. When you hold out your hand and he comes over, just let him sniff, don't try to pet him or hold him or anything. He's trying to check you out, just give him the time he needs. The day he himself rubs his head against your hand you'll know he's ready for cuddles. The fact that he already comes close to you and GENTLY bites you would suggest that all in all he likes you.

I would also think his behaviour suggests an intact male - can you see his testicles form behind? If he's intact indeed, you might have a spraying issue soon enough if you allow him in! Maybe keep the friendship a neighbourly one, restricted to the garden.

Or - pay a welcoming visit to the new neighbours and ask them?
