What does it mean when someone says you're 'likable'?

Im talking to this guy that isn't straightforward with his response. Whatever he says can be interpreted in two ways. He had said something that made me think he was telling me he likes me, so I asked. He said "that isn't what i meant you're likable." I asked him what he means by that, and his response is still confusing. I understand why he's very protective over his feelings, but I just don't want to put myself out there more than I already have to. What can being 'likable' be interpreted as?
