Why would a guy write a text message 15 minutes after a first date stating he had fun and thanks for having dinner with him only to get my hopes up? After this I responded politely that I had a good time as well and thanks. After a few days I wrote him and he replied but he never initiated a text and never asked for a second date. Why bother to say you had fun and send a text immediately after the date and then change your mind?

Some people are just polite. Maybe he really did have fun, but decided you were not compatible. Maybe he met someone more compatible after your date. Maybe he has some personal issues. It could be any number of reasons. Just be thankful he was courteous enough to not ghost you and move on.

It was just a polite "thank you for your time". He didn't mention a second date. Not sure why you had a "high expectations" ...
He didn't text: "I had a great time, when can I see you again?" or "lets meet tomorrow again"...
He did had fun, but not enough to want to see you again.
Keep looking...

It's annoying, but texts don't really mean anything.

Texting.

Again.

The scourge of dating and 'relationships.'

This is precisely why texting drags down dating and 'relationships.'

Texting don't mean jack. Some people reflexively text back. Others ignore it. Doesn't mean anything at all.

He was being polite and maybe he meant it at the time and then met someone he really hit it off with.

Maybe at the time he did intend to see you again but unfortunately things can change.

Maybe next time arrange the next date at the end of the first one.... In person , instead if waiting anxiously to see if there's going to be another date or not!.

Don't people usually plan a 2nd date before the 1st one ends? I've always assumed if the 1st ends without a 2nd then, there is no more. My 2 pennies.

Oh my. There was no reason for you to get your hopes up. If he had wanted a second date, he would have mentioned it. He was simply being polite. Move on.
