Men who hate being corrected

I just got back from another date with a guy four months older than me.

Everything was going well. We met last week at a party. He proceeded to ask me for my number before I left the party on Friday. The last Sunday, he asked me if was free to have dinner/lunch with him today. He took care of everything, was conscientious about my likes and dislikes. He was very outgoing, and a gentleman. He took to me to this fancy Italian place. No doubt, the food was good, however he mispronounced some of the Italian names of the dishes when he was ordering. To be fair, English is not his first language, and I know it's hard let alone pronouncing Italian words. His mispronunciation was making the Italian waiter cringe, and after he ordered, I stepped in corrected him. Some of the words I remembered him butchering was bruschetta and gnocchi. To me, it wasn't a big deal since it's normal. I just wanted to give him a heads up just in case it ever happens again. However, he just brushed me off and continued on towards other conversation topics. I didn't want to press on and thought it was over. Anyways, after the end of early dinner, as he was walking me towards my car, we were talking about what foods he liked since it was his time trying it. This is where things go downhill. Again, he pronounced gnocchi incorrectly at least three times, and it was bothering me, so I playfully corrected him. Things just went silent as he walked me to my car which was a good three blocks. We said our goodbyes and that was that.

I don't know if I'll be seeing him again. If it were me, and someone corrected me, I wouldn't mind. I'd probably laugh it off and thank him.

I'm just flabbergasted at his behaviour.
