He asked me to delete him. I sent him a message when I was in a bad mood yesterday. I said he was an asshole and that he didn't have to reply to me. He didn't reply, but kept calling me.

It is normal for words and deeds to differ. When words and deeds differ, observation is the main thing, and words are the second. So from the angle that he keeps calling you, you can see that he cares about you.

He didn't say he didn't like you, but you felt that he didn't like you. So, how did you feel it through some of his behaviors?

So, there is one more thing to explain. The meaning behind the line cannot be narrowly understood. You are not ordinary people in society. You are two special individuals. You can't define your words and deeds by social standards. You can only use them as a reference.

So finally, I hope you have a good talk.

I hope this helps.
