I've been seeing this guy about twice a week for about a month now. He's really into film and television, wants to be a screen writer. We had an "epic discussion" about the rationale behind why people (such as me) watch reality television, which was fine until he told me that he was disappointed that I do. 

To clarify, I don't really enjoy tv all that much; I think it's a cheap medium among other issues (which I of course didn't tell him). He tried to show me one of his favorite shows that he thought I would like. I did a not so nice thing and started teasing about the show, making commentary that pointed out its predictability. He got really offended; I didn't realize it at the time, but he said I was being rude. He said he felt like I didn't respect what he does, which I understand now.

I let him know that I was profusely sorry, that sometimes I just like to tease and prove people wrong, but I take it too far without knowing (he said that was a pretty terrible trait to have lol). I also explained that I appreciated his passion, but I just don't like to take anything too seriously, and I'm really bad with dealing with it when people are sensitive about something, since I don't really feel that strongly about things like that. I told him I really hate hurting people's feelings, and he said I could use some more tact.

Later on, I told him I felt weird about everything, though I said it's kinda my fault. He was nice and said it was kinda his fault too. He said we should still hang out, and that he felt bad for ruining my night, and we both apologized again (though I feel like there's a possibility he might have said this to get laid since we were in his bed).

At this point, I feel a little bit like a terrible person, and that we're too incompatible to continue. I do like him, but I feel like I kind of killed what we had going. I'm going away now for a few days, but what should I do?
