What does it mean if he calls me "my girl" to me and others but says were not a couple?

So a few times this guy im seeing says im his girl. Especially this one night when he was a bit drunk and told someone about me and said "yea im seeing my girl" and showed pictures of me and about me. then i asked him if were a couple and he said no it all takes time and to take our time with things.(something like that). We've seen each other 4x and been talking a couple months prior
