Are gentleman's agreements a thing of the past, or did I expect too much?

So, you're saying you reserved the option to not buy. Why didn't he (in your opinion) have the option to not sell?

Not buying never came up. My last intent was to buy. His initial intent was to sell and then he pulled back. He contacted me and made the offer to sell.
