What does it mean when a guy calls you their soul mate?

Anonymous
We have known each other for a few years and crossed paths at odd times in our lives, we would randomly text or call each other. Just now we decided to date and see how it goes. what led up to us dating was one day out of the blue he said I have always liked u, you are my soul mate. Instead of ruining that moment because it was so sweet I just smiled and hugged him and said I like you too. So is it different than loving someone?... I've heard the term but wouldn't even know how to label someone as a soul mate.
