Hola R,
no, gustar is only used with "se" in reciprocal sentences:
María y Marcos se gustaban mucho cuando estudiaban juntos en la universidad.
María and Marcos liked each other a lot when they studied together at Uni.
We may sometimes use it in a reflexive way when you say for example you like yourself in a certain way:
Me gusto mucho con el pelo corto.
I like myself a lot with short hair.
Outside that, I can't think of any other situation you'd use se with gustar.
Saludos
Inma
