I think his big mistake was overstating the significance of the dalliance and professing more love and emotional intimacy than she is used to.

Yep. Men have a bad habit of getting way too serious, way too fast. Especially in this case, where a 23-year-old would likely be freaked out by anything resembling relationship talk. The "I love you" line is best saved for much, much later.
