Is it normal to not fall in love?

Just broke up with my first boyfriend, well he kept telling me how in love he was and he's never felt this much about a girl before etc..
When I tried breaking up with him 3 times before it caused him to cry so im guessing he really was in love. But I didn't feel that way. Sure it flattered me that he told me how he felt and all that, but I was just never "in love".

He was my bf for about a week and then I told him I only loved him like a friend, he asked me to give him two weeks to try and change my feelings for the better, basically to fall in love with him. I agreed, but then a few days later (yesterday) I decided to not waste his time and finally just be done with it.
I talked to his friend later that day and asked what he thought about my decision, I explained to him how I didn't have feelings for the guy and I woulda broken his heart anyway. He said that I should have given him a chance and that I hurt him deeply and im a horrible person.
I thought I did the right thing, but now im starting to think I was a jerk. To me he seemed obsessive and controlling, to him he thought he was only caring and wanted to talk me a lot.
Another thing is when I kissed him I didn't feel "sparks" and it wasn't like it even felt right. Like kissing my brother. Idk did I make the right choice or no by leaving him?
