Is he protective and possessive about me?

I like this guy friend of mine a lot, who also had some feelings for me in the past, but never admitted them, I proposed him, he rejected me saying he doesn't feel the same and said that I am too innocent and he cannot hurt me.. After a few months when he came to know that I was talking to this other guy, he said to a friend that he would break that guy's bones if he ever hurts me.. Does he have feelings for me?
