I feel as if I don't know how to do life, anymore; one let down after the other, constantly. And now this?

This was the question I posted earlier and at the end, I will post the update; NEED ADVICE. I am feeling so down and so stupid. Please read the whole thing. I need mature answer which is why I am posting in marriage and divorce section. I previously started talking to a guy over text; I have never met him. He was introduced to me. We were going along just fine until I mentioned the fact that I didn't like to text all the time. to make a long story short, we ended almost as soon as we started. He wanted to text, mosty. I did not. 4 days later, I text him and proposed a ual relationship, only. (lonely), don't judge me too harshly. At first he was okay with it but he wanted boundaries. and as soon as I agreed with his proposal for boundaries, and told him that I fantasized about him and that I wanted to know what he was like in bed, he went quiet on me. I said all of those things so as to take the pressure from him. He went quiet and didn't say anything again. I text one last time and ask him why was he afraid of me... he never answered. One week later to the day, today, he just text and said: I took a week to think about your question and I will not answer it. But i think we got off on the wrong foot; I think we should start over. I text him back and said: I agree. I am willing to start again. He then text back and told me that he would CALL me later. Men, particularly, and women too, what should the tone of the conversation be. suggest some things to me to talk about. I seem to always steer wrong. I know, I know. I am middle forties and he is middle thirties. age has nothing to do with knowing how to do handle this. UPDATE: He never called or text. was this all a joke. what would you do, HONESTLY?
