What does it mean if you ask a guy if he likes you and he says kinda?

It may mean that the girl is kind of shy to tell you straight up she likes you even thought you've told her that you like her.

you need to make sure she takes it serious, or else she may just think your saying you like her as a joke.

if she says she kind of likes you then that means she hasn't really thought about you and herself that way.

but i would say shes scared too admit she likes you back
