What does this sentence mean?

The most basic meanings this expression can express are "I like Tom!", "I approve of Tom.", and/or "I get along well with Tom.". This type of expression is usually used when two people share traits in common and get along especially well. It's used often to express fondness for a friend/acquaintance.

Can this sentence be used in some romantic sense?

It could possibly be used "romantically" if said in the right context and with the right tone of voice/body language. But, this expression is usually just used in a friendly out-going manner expressing "enthusiastic likability" for the other person.

I got it. Thank you.
