As others have already mentioned, some men will compliment you as if they’re entertaining a guest.
Even if they’re thinking, “There won’t be a next time,” they’ll still compliment you for the time being because they don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable.
People like this exist regardless of gender. You haven’t done anything wrong, so don’t dwell on it—just move on to the next one.

I tend to compliment women the most when I’m planning to end the arrangement.
I don’t want them to feel bad…
It may be similar to job interviews, where the candidates you’re going to reject are often allowed to speak until the very end.

I’ve also had experiences where they showered me with compliments, but there was never a second meeting.
They probably met me and realized I wasn’t what they expected.
I think they were already planning to say goodbye, but felt bad, so they figured they might as well compliment me in the meantime.

I’ve trained myself to compliment anyone I meet in person, regardless of gender, as naturally as breathing, so I end up complimenting them even when we’re not a good match... I shower my parents and my long-term girlfriend with compliments too.
It’s not like I should be sulky when we don’t click, so it’s tricky.

I’ve been through that too, so I know how you feel… It’s really upsetting, isn’t it? Especially when it’s someone you were particularly interested in.
You end up overthinking everything—wondering if you did something wrong or what might have put them off.
Well, people do tend to compliment you in person, don’t they?
Try to move on by telling yourself you just weren’t a good match for that person, and do your best with the next one!

All I can say is that we weren’t a good match physically.
If you went all the way on the first date and he showered you with praise, then I’m not sure.

At the very least, he made the offer because he liked your looks, so I can only imagine that perhaps he thought showering you with compliments and flattery would get you excited and lead to really great intimacy—but in reality, it just wasn’t that way.
