What does it mean when a guy avoids your confession?

Anonymous
I have this guy friend who is bad at replying, so when I ask him questions he responds a few hours late (It is confirmed by other friends of his and himself he is bad at replying.) So after awhile I said "I kinda like you." and a few minutes later he replys ONLY answering one of my previous questions. So the next day I texed him "Sorry." and he replied confused, then he replied with "Uhhh" then he changed the topic really fast. I mean he seems like he likes me irl, but I don't know if thats just his personality or not, and on texts its just really confusing.
