Maybe I was being to presumptuous.

This is why you need to send out more first messages than one at a time. You're messaging one guy, waiting and waiting for him to reply, and getting disappointed, going through the rejection, and then having to start all over again. If you at least sent first messages to a few guys, you could focus on the one that responds so you don't have to be in conversations with more than one at a time.
I also think those match percentages are vastly superficial and not based in reality. Having just a few books that you both like and a couple of hobbies in common doesn't really predict whether or not you'll be a good match.
I would move on to the next guy instead of waiting for this one to reply.
