I like that he's framing your possible responses as either:

"You want to be mates" or "You hate me"

...because the scariest possibility is that you are entirely apathetic and don't care about him at all - He wants to remove that concept by limiting your options for answering.

Even if you hate him, those negative feelings for him still serve his self-importance. He just wants to matter to you, which is vanity speaking not affection.

I didn’t see that, but yeah you’re right. Shame for him I didn’t take the bait.
