So, you went on a few dates and now you want a relationship? In life that might be reasonable, but companies (as a general rule) have no sense of loyalty. They don't owe you anything. You should have no expectations until you start the job. You can up your expectations (of stability) every 6 months thereafter.

So, I'd suggest applying for more jobs. Try not to fall in love with a position before you get it. Instead, fall in love with what you're doing in Software Engineering. There will be a number of positions that will give you work that you find interesting. If you like the work and like the people, then fall in love with the position.

Edit: Also, you should be looking for bad smells (this isn't necessarily one) when you're interviewing. A better example would be: "Send us your resume in .doc format. .doc only"

I don't know if he wants a relationship as much as he wants a call back. Do they owe you anything, maybe not, but giving candidates a "thanks but no thanks" call after the candidate devoted some time to going through the process just seems like the classier thing to do.
