Could it be simply that there wasn't time to answer?
It may not be that he had anything per se that he couldn't say-- but that he thought it was simply a longer discussion-- or that he wanted, as he normally would, to ask you what you thought, and go through what you describe as the usual conversation.
But what are you looking for? What would you like him to say; or what are you afraid he would say? or how do you imagine the conversation going, if it went how you most want it to go.
When you ask how someone sees you, it's usually for a reason. Either something's on your mind, or there's some issue, really. Because if you think about it, you know what's important about how he feels about you; and people have such diffuse and complex and contradictory feelings about others that, at some point, they feel almost everything-- And then, even if certain characteristics that strike him most-- what would it mean to you?
That you were that way? that he was wrong (or right)?
It is a loaded question-- and that's probably why he didn't answer-- unless, of course, you had a particular reason for thinking he really was covering up something?
