I've met other guys who weren't interested and none of them ever asked for separate checks. Therefore I found his behavior unusual.
While living in Asia I went out with girls who were interested and were not interested and didn't change a thing. They still paid for my dinner, I paid for theirs, or we paid together. First date or date #20. It didn't matter. Nobody felt entitled which I find it quite nice . When I lived in the USA, different story. Girls did make a big deal as we can see in this thread and other similar threads.
So if you like caviar, lobster, etc. what holds you from ordering that which you like? I don't have anybody holding me from ordering what I like when I go out.
Maybe he also thought that him not taking care of your expenses was important to you then he wouldn't want to go out with you as well.
I never said I expected him to take care of my expenses. I just didn't expect him to ask for separate checks. Other guys who also didn't take care of my expenses didn't ask for separate checks.

Maybe he didn't think things went well.
It's been a few days, has there been any update?
I unmatched him on Tinder and haven't heard from him.

So, two of his last impressions of you were
-telling him you didn't want him to walk you to your car
-unmatching him on Tinder
Even though you had a pretty good time with him
I see. Apparently there is a growing subset of men who have almost no concept of body language or social awareness. "That's okay, I'm just parked over here" = "no, absolutely do not walk me to my car". Everything has to be spelled out in big, capital, black letters. I was with someone like that for years. Turns out he knew exactly what he was doing the whole time. People like that don't usually have an easy time in the dating world. A hint to people in that situation: if you realize what the meaning between the lines is and are just refusing to consider it, don't then complain that you can't find a good woman or that dating is soooo hard.
Not paying for her dinner, not paying for her drinks, not walking her to her car. Yes, forgot those. What else should a man do for him to earn a 2nd date?

Have I complained about not being able to find a good woman or that dating is hard?
Do we know what her body language was?
I don't.
Do you?
She was put off/thrown off/whatever by the whole separate checks thing, so, I think there's at least some possibility that her body language wasn't all that inviting.
Also, how about that "are you safe to walk on this icy sidewalk" could have meant "may I walk you to car" but it's wasn't spelled out in big, capital, black letters and the OP said, "no"?
Why do things only seem to work one way?
