Narration
That is a peculiar one!
Let me throw my cards in the favour of "He said no to me." NOTE: I do not know any rule about such type of construction as mentioned-above, but, gazillion times in (different) English series/movies, one friend telling another friend about her ex's reply and his stance,"She said no to me. *sigh* But I still love her." lol |

It does not sound right to me. I am getting an incomplete sense out of "He told me no."
What no? At least, without any doubt, I say 'NO' to this answer. |

According to rules..... he told me no is correct...... explaining as: he said to me.. this whole statement is known as reporting speech bcoz one is telling to other that he said to me........ so told replace to said according to rule.... nd to is finished........ nd remaining "no" there is nothing to change...... so He told me no is correct...

In my opinion it is
He denied me he rejected me or He refused me The difference between "direct" and "indirect" speech is fairly easy. "Direct" is the one that uses quotation marks and copies exactly what the speaker originally said, for example: Jane said, "You are crazy, Max." "Indirect speech often uses the word "that," and explains what was said without copying it word for word. There are no quotation marks, since it isn't an exact quote, for example: Jane told Max that he was crazy. (Notice that the "are" of "direct speech" becomes "was" in "indirect.") The problem in your example is that the word "no" isn't enough information to decide what the correct "indirect speech" form should be. For example, if I ask "Are elephants small?" and he says, "No," then the correct "indirect speech" form would be: He told me that they weren't. If I ask, "Can snakes fly?" and he says "No," then the correct "indirect speech" form would be: He told me that they couldn't. Before anyone can tell you how to translate "No" into indirect speech, you must explain more of the original, "direct" conversation. |

He denied me he rejected me or He refused me /QUOTE] I second your answer. ''He refused/rejected me'' is correct, in my opinion.
