break up thjat blind sided me

I am in my early thirties, never married, no children. I was asked out by a consultant where I work 7 weeks ago. He is 39, was divorced 5 years ago and has a 7 year old girl. His divorce was very painful for him. I honestly was reluctant at first- saw him more as a brotherly type. Anyhow, I started to enjoy him and I was attracted to him. i have a healthy libido and sex is very important to me. This guy stated that it takes him a long time to get sexually comfortable. He was unable to sustain a hard on with a condom. This erectile dysfunction seemed to be happenning over and over again. I finally got so frustrated mainly because he would not talk about it or admit it was a problem. When I did confront him, he cried and got choked up and told me he did not want to lose me and that he was in love with me. I honestly felt this was too soon. But I definitely did not have that not in my stomach like I have had with guys in the past that I have been in love with. I told him I wasn't there yet but had feelings for him. Well, that was about three weeks ago. Since then, we have spent a lot of time together and I thought we were getting along pretty well. Last weekend, I got really overwhelmed. We spent so much time together, I felt I was being suffocated. I was very irritable with him. Then, this hostility seemed to come out in him and he was making a lot of passive aggressive comments and then denying he was doing it. I apologized last Monday for being cranky. He then said that he needed to think about things. I said that I couldn't wait for that and that we should settle everything that day. He came over that night and told me we weren't clicking and that he spent 8 years in an unhappy marriage and that he did not want to "get burnt" again. I asked if he would give me another chance and he said not right now. He texted me the next day and said he was sad all day. I didn't respond and then has to call him Thurs (really had no choice- work reasons). He said he felt "bad" and missed spending time with me. I suggested maybe we get together for a friendly dinner and he said he would call me when the weekend was over. He lives in my neighborhood and when I passed his street Thurs, I ended up calling him and asking him if he wanted to get a drink. He said he was in bed with a bad cold. I aked if he need anything and he said no. He sounded kind of cold- maybe just sick but I feel like a fool. I know I did what every woman shouldn't. I just got really vulnerable. He told me again that he would call after the weekend since he has his daughter this weekend.
I am confused- If I wasn't feeling like I was falling for him, why am I so hurt? Why was he in love with me one week and wanting to get rid of me the next? I don't know what to do now. I feel so embarrassed for calling him on Thurs.

Don't be so hard on yourself, calling him does not mean your weak or needy, just means that you care about him, even if you don't love him, and that's good =)
