He wasn't even willing to get to know me because I am not perfect, I make mistakes, and no offense to him but he's hardly perfect either. He wouldn't let me in or even give me a chance.

that is correct i believe, i do believe he assumed the worst. everybody is different, me personally i believe in giving every new person in my life a clean slate..innocent until proven guilty..now that hasn't worked out real good for me , but i keep doing it anyway.LOL! he may not think that way, some people believe in not giving too many or ANY chances...one bad move & they are out of there...now you can avoid trouble that way..but also you can also miss out on some really great people.
none of us are perfect...i know for certain i am not!! and we all make mistakes & you never know in his effort to avoid trouble..he may end up with someone much worse than you ( not saying you are bad or anything..you know what i mean) so yes you just have to chalk it up to his loss, for you to drive 7+ hrs to see him there must be some good in you, a lot of times starting a new relationship can be scary & communication is very important...none of us want to say the wrong thing for fear of wrecking it..sometimes it's hard to express out true feelings to someone we barely know, it's hard to take that leap of faith sometimes.
i do think either he was afraid of getting hurt for some reason or something happened over those few days, at any rate..all you can do at this point is chalk it up to experience, but not all guys are like that( so try not to take it out on the next guy you meet..he might be the one for you!) and what i mean is by not communicating his feelings to you or taking a chance on you..there are other guys out there that are on the same page you are, so again take your time and don't go out looking..whenever you look for it you'll never find it..just let things happen and continue to live your day to day life..the right time & the right place and the right person will come.it's never easy..but you want to be patient! hope this helps and good luck!
