What it sounds like is that you had talked and he feels you made an offer that he said was good then you changed the offer to explore other options. So, at least to his eye, you agreed on a deal then changed your offer.
Contract negotiations are different than trade negotiations. With trades you could be talking to multiple teams about multiple players. So you are fine trying to different things until you actually agree on a deal. With contract negotiations if you low ball a guy (not what you did here) or make an offer that he says is good then change the offer you will piss off the player.
Since he isn't even arb eligible yet there is plenty of time for his attitude to change though may/may not be this season.
