Rumor
This horrible horrible rumor started that the guy that I've been talking to tried to make me have sex with him, and my (ex)best friend started it. I feel so terrible, because I was the one that told my friend that we were talking and she just leaked it out and it became into this whole big thing. So people probably think he is a huge freak and he's not and I really want to do something for him, but I don't know what. Any ideas? Please help.

Do you have his phone number? If you don't that's okay too because you need to talk to him alone. Tell him that you had a falling out with a friend who knew the two of you we're talking to eachother and she started the rumor.
Tell him that you think it is best if you both ignore it and act like usual. Let him know you had nothing to do with it and are equally embarassed by it. The best thing you can do is become united in letting this thing roll off your back like water off a duck.
Unless you give it power a rumor cannot affect either of you if it isn't true. Most people are not that stupid or ignorant to believe a rumor told by anyone much less the recently ex-friend of someone else who has an axe to grind here.
All you need to do is talk to him and tell him what you know and the truth is you had nothing to do with it and still want to be his friend or whatever else you were leaning towards becoming.

Tell everyone that he didn't. Spread a rumor that he's a great guy and would never do something like that. Try to clear up things with your best friend so she doesn't do it again. As for what you can do for him, don't treat him any differently (I'm sure you already do that though, if you're friends and have any decency) and don't let your feelings for him change over what a jealous friend tells everyone.
And lastly, try not to let rumors get to you. They're always gonna be there, and I've heard worse.
