Was my response appropriate to this "rejection" text?

It would be one thing if his response had been a little more specific like I usually try and say we lacked chemistry or pinpoint it somehow but not in a rude way. So I guess I just tried to pinpoint it myself? And then take responsibility as you say. I just think that he knew I was uncomfortable to some degree... but not that it was a reason for him to end things with me, but that overall it just wasn't an easy/fluid time together. It was mostly awkward and I felt forced (into sleeping over and staying for coffee/breakfast for example).

But I dunno, it could have been worse. I've rejected guys before and their responses back to me have been varying degrees of negativity. The majority of the responses are in the following category: no response (which indicates that they are mad), a long explanation of why they feel I am wrong to feel what I feel and that I should give them another shot (which just draws it out because I have to counter every argument,ugh) , or bashing with insults! And it just sucks. I wish someone would just be HONEST and say what they truly felt, like I was trying to do. And just be matter of fact about things? Ugh I guess it's just a crap shoot either way. At the end of the day, it was all true what I said... ever since this whole thing ended I've felt light as a feather!!! I think that is a huge sign lol I was just concerned about him more because I felt like he really did put a huge effort into me for the time we hung out and my relievedness was coming through in the text. But from what you're saying, it sounds bitchy. Oh wells. It's text!! There's no way of really coming across honest without sounding rude?
