You don't seem like a good person.
Ok now I've heard it all.

Getting to know a guy and deciding he's not for you is now apparently a Character Flaw.

That's what I was thinking too.

Going for walks and coffee, no dates, guy feels he has no competition ... He sounds like a minimal effort kind of guy. Is he wearing a dirty sweatshirt every time you see him?

I can't find fault with the OP's behavior or her decision to walk away from whatever she had with this guy. I'm not so sure about her need to discuss such a simple choice here, though

I don't understand how this registers as weak? Are you expecting him to say/do something? I don't get that part. Sounds like an egomaniac imo.

Ugh. This type of guy bugs me. I don't expect a tuxedo and a dozen roses every day, but at least put half as much effort as I am into getting ready.

OP, perhaps I'm the very same man whom you've been dating? Other than the part about "passive aggressive texts", he and I would have behaved identically.

The very fact that two people with romantic intent have shared 5 contiguous dates IMPLIES exclusivity. It may or may not imply eventual sexual contact, but it most certainly implies that other options – whether scarce or profuse – have been suspended.

If a woman has had 5 dates with a man (or alternatively, a man had 5 dates with a woman), while dating others – would she/he also have had 5 dates with those others? What, are we automotive journalists doing test-drives of new cars, for a comparison-report in the newspaper?

She could have just broken up with him. There was no need to go extra steps to hurt him more.
