I stopped seeing my fwb

We were hooking up for a year and a half during breaks since we go to different colleges. I recently told him I wasn’t interested in hooking up anymore (second week of may).

Every so often he will hit me up and ask if I changed my mind and two nights ago he sent me a message about my sister. Then he asked if I was okay since he knows that I’ve been especially struggling mentally these past few months

Well he said that he cares about me and is always there to talk if I don’t feel okay. Then he just had to say that at some point he developed feelings for me and I don’t know what to think. Or if I should try to be friends with him despite the issues that I’ve had with him (minor but I think I hold things against people easily). Like he is not a bad guy and I would feel bad completely cutting him off now tbat we aren’t hooking up. But the last time we just talked, before he’d dropped me off he was like “is there anything else you want to do” and constantly bothers me about how he wants to hook up and how he’s always free.

But now that I know he has feelings I feel like I shouldn’t just ignore it
