this guy ive seen for about a month now told me he said he doesnt feel a "heart to heart" emotional connection with me and for me it bothered me alot and knowing it was bothering what he said he told me to forget about it he kept brushing it off as time will tell. After a day later we had plans to meet he texted me asking me if he could have the day to himself. Since that day it bothered me so i just chose to end things with him since he said practically his heart isnt there and i felt like i wasnt capable to help him get to where he can feel emotional connection with me. Was it too early on to stop trying or was it a sign that he himself couldnt get there and instead of breaking it off he chose to kind of have alone time and gradually show signs of being distant. 

When i broke things off he said he thought alot about it and his heart wasnt there and accepted it

Maybe, maybe not. Sometimes people push others away because they are unsure about u, fear commitment, or anything really. Sometimes they need more time to figure it out without feeling pressured. On the flip side, maybe he is really done and there was no point in wasting time.
his heart isnt there

This ^^^^^
Sounds like you could find someone better
No, it wasn't too early. He was on his way out.

I said the same to an ex once (that my heart was not in it) 6 months into dating. I then had a change of heart and we carried on for two years. Retrospectively, I should have listen to my gut and ended it after 6 months.

You did well.
He isn't feeling it. Good for him for owning up to that. If you do honestly like the guy offer a friendship.

The only possible problem I see with this is, if he is slow to warm up and doesn't know it. It's legitimate to be this way with people excluding the rare one offs where everything just clicks.

What ages are you guys and how much relationship experience you both have?
I really need to learn how to have these types of conversations.

What type of questions did you ask? and how soon was it that you asked him?
