To refuse to reverse?

Out earlier, on a street with parked cars, I was waiting for traffic in the opposite direction when the driver flashed his lights, at which point I proceeded, and then, so did he.
Of course there's then nowhere for either of us to go so he motioned at me to reverse.
Was I wrong to refuse?

Flashing lights doesn't mean proceed.

Whoever would have found it easier to reverse should have done so. I can't stand people who sit their blocking the road for everyone on a point of principle.

Bit stupid of him to flash his lights and then go.

Hard to judge based on so little information.
