📝 AITAH For Breaking Up a Day After Being Together?

I (22F) have been seeing someone (M23) for about a month. He’s genuinely very sweet, thoughtful, and has shown he cares about us in several ways. I’ve reiterated that I like to take relationships slow, he has respected that, and overall tries to send the message that there is no pressure.

However, yesterday was our 3rd date in person (we both have busy schedules) and we had a few plans for the evening. When I arrive to his place, he shows me to his couch and says he has a surprise. He brings me a massive edible arrangement with a personally curated card. The card asks me to be his girlfriend. Knowing we had several plans that evening, and not to mention I don’t know him THAT well (idk how he reacts to real-time rejection), I cracked under the pressure and stupidly said yes. I know this was wrong, because I’m 100% not ready to date him but I guess I didn’t want to ruin the evening, and his gift was huge, it felt weird saying no when presented with what was in front of me. I’m a little frustrated with him since he knew I wanted to take it slow. Maybe we interpret “slow” differently, idk. Now I want to have a long conversation saying I don’t actually want to date yet, despite saying yes in person. He hasn’t shown other red flags of being too forward, clingy, etc. But AITAH for basically breaking up?
