Is it normal after one week?

After watching three movies in one night and a fantastic date at the trampolines and Nando’s I’d got home and slouched into bed in his hoodie that he’d let me keep.
It was the 9th date and I felt I was still being a little reserved on touch.. but he hadn’t said anything but I wanted to bring it up. Sunday was good and Monday was good over text as we lived 40mins away and only saw each other on a Saturday but had started in the week too. It was going nicely for me, and he was happy, always said how he couldn’t wait to see me how the days went to fast, all our inside jokes.
On the Monday I called him to ask when he wanted to meet again (and just to mention me being reserved) I asked and that’s when my heart sank. He changed, he told me he’d decided he wasn’t ready for a relationship.... even though I hadn’t mentioned one. He said I was great, and not to change for anyone, and that I’d find happiness, and I deserved better, I did mention the touch and he said that comes with time. I was assuming he just wanted sex but said he wouldn’t have let me meet his family or travelled and made the effort if that was the case. He was so gentle with me such a gentleman I believed he was genuine. I let him go after trying to get another date out of him as I felt it was my fault..he just kept saying I can’t do this too you. he’d said I’d done nothing wrong but the timing wasn’t right for a relationship. If the time was different he’d of asked me to be his girlfriend without a doubt, but I’m very indesisive.
He sent me a text saying how he felt appriciated and how he’d loved our time together.. I felt sick. I genuinely thought he was happy. He said the affection was missing for him but through no fault of your own you’ll find someone.

And that was the last I heard from him... he kept me on Facebook so I posted photos trying to show him what he’d let go of... I kinda hoped he’d message saying he’d made a mistake. Then I saw a girl tagging him in what I’d usually tag him in... then I got blocked... my friend had a look just to see and there he was posting photos of him with another girl... he never posted photos online of me and him..
I was heartbroken. I don’t know if I’ve been lied too, used, or how he can move on within 10 days of finishing me ?! Did he never like me??
He said he’d blocked me so I couldn’t be reminded or see what he’d posted... it looked like he’d known her years by what he was posting.
I haven’t contacted him. I just don’t know what to think at all.
Did he never like me??
Why is she better?
He never once tried it on with me we kissed, and hugged and was cute and got close and he’d ask if he could look at my nails and take my hand that way. And pink promise. I felt the spark. I’d always have to be on his left side, he’d always move me. Just little things.

    Aww, I'm sorry. You shouldn't worry about why it happened and certainly not blame yourself for it or compare yourself to the other girl. Sometimes, even when there's nothing inherently wrong about someone, the feelings just aren't there. And it's okay, there's nothing wrong with you because of it. Trying to understand rejection won't make things any different so try not to torture yourself. :)

    • But he said he did like me....
      And if he didn’t have feelings why didn’t he just say?? Why didn’t he suggest friends ? Why would he be like that on the last date then a few hours later want nothing to do with me.

        He probably did like you and then liked somebody else more or thought it would be easier, more convenient... who knows? :\

        There's no good explanation for it, tbh; and even if there were it's likely you still wouldn't be satisfied with it because it wouldn't change how you feel right now. You'll have to tough it out for now and it will pass eventually.

        I'm trying not to be condescending and I'm not just pulling this out of my ass... haha. Most people have been there too and it sucks! Just try again with someone new when you can. :)
