What does it mean when a guy says this…?

We were not dating.. we were talking (somewhat)

I admit that I can be a mess to deal with at times and I let my insecurities get the best of me. He’s been pretty patient with me. I do think he somewhat cares (he said it) but I know he’s not in love with me.

Sometimes he admits that he doesn’t understand me and despite my random outburst he does enjoy talking to me.

he said “sometimes I low key think you want me to be rough with you”

?
