What does it mean if a guy says you have a good heart?

(Long story)
So there's this guy I've been talking to from online for almost a year now. He sometimes would ask to hang out and I would chicken out. Then I would explain my feelings and thoughts and he said before he sees me as a good friend and take it from there. He has given me a nickname and used our names together in a sentence. I said something along the lines of "im surprised you stuck around this long, usually guys would be gone by now". He said: "I can tell you have a good heart, its always worth the trouble" and he also said that "can you imagine if things work out it be like the notebook" (something like that) he's told me he's always wanted a relationship since he was in his early teens.
