I don't think you should be angry.
The first incident would have pissed me off, but I would have gotten over it.
The second incident, well, he didn't do anything wrong. Seems to me he didn't surreptitiously try to steal her away from you (you didn't have her), and you knew he liked her ahead of time. I don't think he was backing down, and I don't think he was trying to mislead you or be ambiguous, he was simply giving you premission to try to win her over. But you still needed to win her over....
