 You were what 8-9 years old in 3rd grade? So VERY different people then who you are at 18.
If he doesn't "like" you he doesn't "like" you. I would honestly let it go and look for a guy who is willing to worship and love you, not waste my time trying to convince some 3rd grade crush to "like" you.

 Sorry, this question just sounded like someone from a younger age bracket. My mistake. You may have "dated" in third grade but people do change over time. Did he happen to tell you why he doesn't like you? I'm curious as to how he got to the point where he actually spoke those words out loud. Were you friends and then had a fight or something?
Maybe it's a case of him seeing you more as a friend than as a possible girlfriend. I do agree with the idea of raising your status in his eyes but that won't work if you have annoyed him on some level.

Demonstrate through your actions (not by dating one of his friends -- he probably doesn't want his friend's sloppy seconds) that you are a great girl, with talents and personality. Ask him to go out for coffee with you or you could even hang out in a park if you're both more outdoorsy and athletic.
In the end, it's possible he's not into you, which is perfectly fine. As the old saying goes, "There are other fish in the sea."

 If this guy says he doesn't like you it could be for a few reasons. You need to speak to him and find out why he doesn't like you before you decide how to go about things! But ultimately you need to think if this guy is worth changing for? If a relationship is going to work then both people need to like the other person for who they are! Otherwise things wont last because eventually those little things that you don't like about each other niggle away at the relationship and things fall apart! My overall advice though is don't start trying to change yourself and make all this effort to get someone to like you if they wouldn't be willing to do the same thing for you. Your only young! It's not the end of the world if you don't end up with this guy! Be single and enjoy it ;) Do you and have fun! :) xx
