What does it mean when a guys says he 'maybe' likes you?

Anonymous
I told this guy I like him and asked if he felt the same and he said maybe. I thought he might be just saying this because he was too scared to say no, but he then told me a couple of days later that he meant what he said when he said maybe. I would've asked what maybe means but I didn't want to push it or seem desperate.

What should I take a maybe as? If he really liked me he would've just said yes
