He's infantilizing you.
That's it. He's probably got a buncha baggage attached to what "innocence" means and if you do anything to stray from his impression, his mind will probably implode. And if it is sufficently different, he'll probably get really mad at you for not meeting his expectations that he has projected onto you.
Personally, it means to me that this guy is probably a bit too set in old ways to be able to pursue a relationship with me.
He'll be uncomfortable and I refuse to slow down or go backwards.
If you like being the innocent, maybe it's a match?

Innocence is very fleeting. I grew up as a very innocent , kind person too. But the cruelty and maliciousness of the world took away my innocence. Enjoy it before you see the world as it truly is. As you get older, your innocence will go. You're innocent because you haven't seen much of the world yet.
This question reminds me of the song below. let me be clear, this is all about how a female is perceived by a male. Over the years I have been faced with this dynamic. The problem is there is no easy way to tell anybody male or female they need to grow up. In my case, I was in my late 20s and had an 18-year-old girl get interested in me. I was in a no-win situation. I still know of this female. She still refers to me as "the asshole". My advice is the simply ask the guy what he means.

When guys say things like that, it's an incredibly roundabout way of saying "I like who you are as a person, but I think you're boring," "I feel like you're too sheltered," and "I don't feel like I can be myself around you because I think my behavior is too crass/immature."
It has a vaguely positive connotation to it, but the general idea is that the guy doesn't think you're on the same page in terms of life experience.

This can go either way; it means he is rejecting you, or he is showing predator-like behavior and words. It seems like he is trying to manipulate something from you in my eyes. Unless you're of age and okay being in that dynamic, I wouldn't walk into that situation, especially when the guy is online.
I would take it to mean you have a naive view on the bad things which are happening in the world.
Being smart and wise aren't necessarily the same thing in this instance, as you can be wise in different areas.This could go so many ways, we need more context. When did he say it? What was the conversation about? Was he upset or was he happy? What is his relationship to you?
Kind regards,
DoctorSexNo “innocent” is usually a way of describing someone who is more gelable or someone who will believe anything perhaps it is best to be skeptical of him…
When I say innocent it means she seems unspoiled by the world. Most of the women I have called innocent have lived sheltered lives. It's not a bad thing at all just that the person hasn't been exposed to the underbelly of society.

They are just complements no I wouldn't say they mean u are like a child
If he says it while he is breaking up, it’s just bullshit. Men are cowards when it comes to breaking up.
Re: update: possibly. Some people are too chicken to just come right out and ask.
My guess would be that from his perspective he's telling you you look kind and innocent
I'm going to reserve the piece of-A.
Why do people assume that sex=innocence
