What does it mean when a guy says he doesn't like how things started off in the talking stage?

[Anonymous]

Guy kind of rejected me after we went out and he mentioned other stuff but he threw in that he didn't
like how things started off during the talking stage...
Was that just an excuse? Because if that's the case why didn't he just stop talking to me then…
I will admit that I was guarded and difficult due to past hurt and not being ready. I take accountability on that part

Follow the actions not the words. He kept comms open and is actively engaged in the conversation. This shows he is setting you up as either a platonic or intimate partner.

Feel it out if you're still interested

[Asker]

No.. he’s not interested

And he said that he didn’t like how things started off while rejecting me

[Sasquach]

Dang, well fk him you'll find someone

[DishLady]

He was trying to give you a second chance. But obvi it didn’t work out.

[Asker]

I feel like he wasn’t attracted to me I don't know pretty girls get lots of chances

[BarryLiverstone]

Didn’t you ask about him earlier today?

[Asker]

Nope must be similar

[BarryLiverstone]

Used the same words
