You didn't want to have "buyer's remorse" so you kept your options open with your partner.
He was honest from the outset and told you that he wasn't interested in having a relationship but you were convinced that once he spent time with you and got to know you, he'd change his mind.

You're too busy to waste your time on almosts and not good enough so you made a strong and healthy decision and ended things.
You both were at two different points in your life and you weren't connecting in a positive way.
You both were being so careful not to say or do the wrong thing that you weren't being yourselves.
