What does it mean when a guy says he loves you like family?

Hardacre
I like a guy at work. We get on really well.
he says he wants to hug me all the time. That he absolutely adores me and loves me like family.
He strokes my leg under the table. We find each other's company very soothing. We can speak on the phone for 4 hours at a time. Does this guy like me to go out with him or what does loves me like family really mean?
