Questioned his sexuality. Dealbreaker ?

OK, I'm gonna try to make this really short. I started dating this guy who I've seen around my neighborhood for years. He ended up getting my number and initiating conversation with me. Surprisingly he flirted with me which ended up leading to us getting to know eachother. I was surprised that he flirted because he seems like the type to date outside of his race or possibly into men.

I hate to sound judgy but yeah he was just... different. In a good way though, in my eyes he's just a free spirited person who wears what he wants and is not hypermasculine, just seems to walk at the beat of his own drum. For me it's intriguing. However, where I come from I'm not used to these type of men at all so of course it made me question certain things.

One day I ended up asking him to call me, and I basically asked his sexual preference and did question his sexuality. I definitely did not go about that conversation the right way —I panicked and it sounded as if I was wanting to end things.. (which I didn't want, I actually enjoyed dating him) .

He respected it but didn't answer the rest of my questions, cut the conversation short and said we should talk another time. He was initially supposed to come talk that following day so I said let's have a better talk tmrw. I ended up calling his phone back to back about 4 times the following night when I didn't hear from him🤦🏽‍♀️

I felt like he was tryna avoid the situation or probably upset & I just wanted to clear things up. He ended up ending things for good when he did answer stating that the calls were red flags. (which I understand) but keep in mind he's been direct the entire time before this situation, and we recently had started getting intimate so feeling like he's avoiding was triggering for me —especially with me knowing I'm a very open person and even if he was bisexual I'd still date him.

Do you think he officially ended it mainly because of the calls or because I questioned his sexuality ? Or because he's dl and didn't like that I caught on ? Or something else 👀
