Wildflower, good for you for sticking to your boundaries.
Maybe you are getting ahead of yourself? Maybe he was just disappointed that the date was ending? Do you know good places in town for coffee, ice cream, dessert, jazz + martinis, etc? Did you suggest one to continue the date?
Men are prone to wishful thinking when it comes to getting physical. But if he respects your boundaries, and still seems interested in knowing who you are as a person (read: he calls/emails you in the next couple of days and initiates some friendly chit-chat) maybe you can give him a chance?
I know the idea of getting up close and personal really fast is kind of frightening. But if you are as attracted to him as you say you are, can you deal with the nervousness and anxiety (while maintaining the distance you need) and see where the garden path leads you?
good luck
