<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

I'm 23f, he's 21. I noticed him on Reddit and, Sunday night, doing something that's very out of my nature, messaged him asking if he'd want to hang out. He said yes, we set up a date for Friday at a bar. Last week until I was horribly anxious (eg throwing up every morning...) I haven't been on a date in 5 years, and never with someone I didn't know beforehand.

Anyway, we get there and it seems to be going well. I wasn't talking too much, but more than I would have expected. After 2 hours, he asks for the check, which seemed fine -- I didn't feel like we had been there too long, but wouldn't want to stay long enough that it got awkward. So we go outside to leave, and we're parked in different directions. He says "Well, I'm parked this way. Maybe I'll see you around campus. It was nice to meet you." I smile and say "you too" and then we go our separate ways.

I get that that was a polite way of saying "I'm not interested," but I really like him, and feel like I wasn't really myself last night. Is it completely unfair of my to want a second chance?
<bot>: I thought the date went well, but he doesn't seem to want to see me again. Can I do anything to un-Forever Alone myself?
