Wtf does he mean by “idk” when I asked if he also liked me?

Anonymous

hi so l'm a teenager (female) and l've liked this guy with adhd for 2 years, (he's also a teen but he’s 2 years older than me) and last night I finally told him my true feelings cause I just felt like I couldn't hide my feelings for him anymore (I'm autistic) and when I asked him if he felt the same way he just typed "I don't know" what does this mean? Does he like me or does he not feel the same way? What's off to me is that he told me I looked hot this year, and he gave me like a bunch of gifts one time, he even gave me a big hug one time and wanted my number. I just don't understand wtf he means by I don't know. I'll type what I said to him. I dont remember what I said about the whole thing about my feelings but yeah I told him that, and then he said "I kinda knew sorry". I said, "it's ok but I'm wondering do you feel the same way it's ok if you don't" he typed, "it's not that I don't, I just dunno, sorry." I said ok, but then he typed another message "I do like you but it's hard to explain" and I asked him what he meant by that, and he typed

"as I said, it's hard to explain. I can barely understand my own feelings sorry" this was all on messages by the way, not in person.

It turns out he does feel the same way like me after all, but he is more focused on other things and not yk, girls 😂 he hasn't had a girlfriend before so he doesn’t know how to start. And he isn’t all in for dating right now, until high school. I talked about it with my mom and dad and they are rlly good at stuff, so yeah :) I just hope he’s not mad at me or awkward with me right now :(
