How should I interpret his perspective?

Anonymous

A guy friend and me recently got into an argument about how I was behaving. He asked me if I had any interest in him romantically because it seemed like I did, I said I was not sure because I had other priorities, but his behaviour also gave me the impression he was interested, so I became interested in him too, and visa versa. He too, was also interested in me, however his answer kept swinging back and forth between different answers. He said he doesn't feel much emotions but he knows he genuinely cares for me and sees me as a great person to know and learn about. He also said he "doesn't want to like me, and me to like him", but he can see himself "liking me a bit more than before" now I am open about this topic and that he "isn't denying feelings for me".

He basically left it for me to decide if I wanted to like him or not, but I said I was not really sure since he himself, did not even know. He could not really specify how he felt about me, he was being more logical than emotional. I called him out on the "I dont want to like you" part and said that he basically said he does not want to like me, but then called me an idiot? I feel like he is being very coy with what he wants to say.

How should I interpret his perspective?
