Esmme, that "closing yourself off" line bugs the snot out of me. I hear the same thing from people who think I "ought" to be in a relationship. I don't need to be in a relationship. I like my life just fine as it is, thank you very much.
For what it's worth, I think your approach of telling him you are not interested was just fine. You know what appeals to you. If he does not meet your expectations you are being honest with him. Please don't beat yourself up. He might be a nice guy, but that doesn't mean you have to enter a relationship you're not interested in.
This is more of a rhetorical question, but how the heck does he plan to date you if you live on different sides of the country? Also, having "handicaps" (I prefer the word "disabilities") does not preclude setting goals.
