Sometimes its scary confessing your feelings especially if you have no idea if the other person feels the same way, so to not scare you and not expose himself fully to you, he goes the safe route and says that.

It means: "I have a huge crush on you but I don't want to express my full feelings because they may scare the crap out of you, so I'm just going to say that I kinda like you"
