I rejected this guy who never told me he liked me to my face, but he told just about everyone else. I did not like him at the time, i wasn't ready for anything serious but as I grew to know him, I began to like him too. i felt like it was too late to tell him i liked him, because I had told him i liked someone else. so i stopped talking to him, and now I really like him. This is what he said:

"Along with the fact that you knew i liked you, the entire 10th grade knew i liked you, so the outcome wasn't in confusion, and its not like you couldn't say you liked anyone, i must have asked you 5 dozen times "do you like any one" and you would without fail tell me no."

What should I say to him? Sorry it's so long!
