What does it mean when a guy says “maybe!” to hanging out (please read description for details) ?

I’m interested in a guy and we’d made plans to hang out. I texted him if he still wanted to hang out and he responded with “maybe! I had already made plans with some friends but i don’t know if they are happening now! Let me let you know later this week “

We did set a date and a tentative time and i checked in with him the Wednesday before the date that we’d set (Sunday)
