Did you ever regret rejecting someone and what did you do about it?

I want to know the liklihood of him regretting his decision and coming to his senses by hearing your stories.

We did things like a couple, everything seemed like we were headed for a relationship. We were (from my perspective) a great fit.

So a week ago I laid everything out on the table and asked if we could be together. He said no...

He said, he's not in the right mindset to think on that level right now (he'd been going through some shit since we started talking and I'd been there to help him through). He said he likes me and cares for me, wants the best for me but can't give me what I want
He can't make himself vulnerable because he's too fragile. He stopped his feelings from growing for me and then apologised that they didn't develop. He saw I was catching feelings but didn't stop it because he "didn't wanna lose me". He kinda agreed that he used me but said it was never intentional and agreed that maybe he self sabotaged and then he said he'll give me space and I haven't heard from him since.

I'm finding it difficult to grasp how he could fake what felt like a relationship, telling me sweet things and his actions supporting them. We couldve had something amazing if he just took the plunge and im more disappointed in the fact that he never gave us a proper chance.

Is he even thinking about me? Is he likely to regret this? I'm moving on regardless, forcing myself to swipe on dating apps even just as a distraction because I know its no use waiting around for him but there's hope and want for him to come back. I miss him so much and didn't wanna be out of each others lives.
