What might him saying this mean?

for freshman hoco at an all boys catholic hs (i go to an all girls catholic hs) a boy asked me to go but i ended up canceling on him because he tried to kiss me and i got nervous. he got a new date whos prettier than me lol. but today we snapped back and forth and out of nowhere he said, “i forgot how pretty you were.” i also regret what i did and want him back, do you think i could still get him back? or what did he mean by that?
