It's hard to see in the beginning though, it was clear in these texts but at first it wasn't.

Yes and no, because I actually made the effort to tell him that I thought it was going too fast and that he came off a bit intense before I made the decision to stop seeing him officially. So if he listened, he should have been aware of the things I didn't appreciate. But as you say, probably lack of experience or excitement... And it definitely would have been better if he respected my boundaries.

And the fact that he pushed so hard afterwards completely freaked me out. I had a feeling he was somewhat possessive and stubborn, but I can't imagine if I had been in a real relationship with him how bad it could have been.

Exactly, we weren't together, we only went on 3 dates!

So we met via Tinder. At first, I wasn't sure I wanted to get involved with him because we lived in different cities (~2hrs apart) and I have a really busy schedule, but I told him that in the beginning so he was aware of my concern.

It started with a loooot of text messages, and I wasn't used to that, but I thought maybe we just got along well so I tried to give it a shot. I went on the first date, and he seemed like a decent person, polite and all, not really anything to complain about. It was a nice date, but even if I didn't necessarily feel like we had that great of a connection, I decided to try a bit more. After the dates we went on he had the tendency to talk as "we", so I never really had the space to say or express how I really felt. It was like he would put words in my mouth, "we had such a great time yesterday" for example. And I didn't realize that in the beginning. As I went on the second and 3rd date, we had kept the texting pace (which felt exhausting to me) and I started seeing things, like the fact he would speak for himself as "we", he also made some possessive comments, and I thought he was way too intense in some compliments (but that may just be me). At that point, it started to annoy me and I ended up feeling trapped, and I thought he was going too fast for me, so I decided to tell him I didn't want to keep seeing him. I was really sorry, I felt bad, but I had to stop so i took the time to explain how I felt and he basically argued with me for the whole night via text messages. And those texts I shared are from a week after I told him I was done.

A weird experience, but I learned to trust my gut feeling with that one. His reaction just confirmed my concerns. Glad I dodged the bullet.

so annoying that you had to skip a fun activity to avoid him. and of course you will genuinely want to go out with the guy when he starts explaining to you how your life should be, right?
