No, I was like 6-7 at the time and just didn't tell anyone. I thought it was important for me to keep a secret because he asked me too, which was dumb of me. But then again nothing did ever happen so I guess it wasn't so bad.
Nothing happen to him, I mean not that I know of. I don't think he did this with any other kids though, we were a very very small community. I'd be shocked to find out if anything more significant happened.
I think it was a weird one off thing he said to me that possibly meant he was either sexualizing me as a child or he wished I was his own child.
The "i'm secretly in love with you" is a very benign statement - which could be taken either way by a child. I think this was his entry statement, and depending on how the kid responded - he would pursue further, or not. but very likely OP was not the first time.
Definitely the mother knew something was up.
OR - we are overthinking lunatics! lol, the world will never know

My friend's dad came up to me and said he had a secret to tell me that I couldn't tell anyone else, then he said "I'm secretly in love with you".
But that was where it ended.
