I understand you like him. I respect that but I am unsure what you want me to try.
I believe he threatened to shoot me on one occasion. I have made no threats towards him but I am getting the feeling he doesn't want to be my mate. Even if I had a burning desire to befriend him I doubt I could manage it on my own.
He has dismissed me far more harshly than I have him. Why do you think I would, or could, be his friend? Would you befriend someone who spoke of you in such anger?
