Obviously, lots of people disagree with that statement (me included), so...

In the real world it's common to have to choose between more than one potential mate. Having to choose one or the other may come down to a very slight difference in preference, because you DO have to make a final choice, no matter how much you like both girls. It can come down to as simple as which girl you met first. His "running away" comment may have partly related to him running away from making that choice (cowardice). Arguably, Ranka's departure helped him make that decision.
No he said "pretend not to notice" he was trying not to hurt their feelings, not being dense. Pretending something is a deliberate action. There's probably a dozen chances he could've got with Sheryl but didn't - this is Alto explaining he's hasn't actually been dense the whole time - he knew what was going on but acted like he didn't (see all the times michel wonders/says of Alto stuff like "god your dense" - always in relation to him apparently not noticing how much Ranka or Sheryl liked him - AND Alto was the SUPERB actor after all)
And it implies he loved both girls (why pretend not to notice advances from someone you don't like? just tell them off)
