This is something mainly geared towards men, but the message still applies; use the Brad Pitt rule.
- If she treats you any different than she would her perfect guy (Brad Pitt for example), then you are not her perfect guy. You are doing both of yourselves a favor by dumping her and moving on.
Basically, if the date would have still been called off if the person getting cancelled on (you, in this case) was "Brad Pitt", then it's a legitimate reason (IE family emergency, court summons, ect). Otherwise, move on.

It was very rude and very telling: he does not care about you. Just shake it off and move on to the next!
Unless there is an important reason like health, family problems etc I agree canceling the first date, especially by text is rude in my opinion.
What was his actual reason he gave to you? He seems like he doesn't care if only thing he said he was supposed to hang out with another friend.

Unless he gave a really important reason via text (like some kind of real emergency) then it was rude and bad form to cancel by a text. He at least should have called, but even then saying he was supposed to hang out with somebody else when he'd made a date with you wouldn't have been a good reason. This guy doesn't have very good manners.
I don't necessarily think it was rude to break the news via text, but his reason sounds lame. And if he knew he was supposed to "hang out with a friend" in advance, he obviously shouldn't have waited till the last minute to cancel. So yeah, I totally understand why you're feeling annoyed about the whole thing, but ultimately it sounds like you lucked out not having to go through with a date with this guy. Better luck next time :)
Yeah that is very rude. I personally wouldn't cancel a first date unless it was absolutely necessary and certainly not to hangout with another friend. If I were you I wouldn't reschedule with him unless he has an amazing reason for cancelling on you. I know guys that cancel dates, like in your situation, when they find a girl who they are more interested in agrees to go out with them.
Yes, it was rude to cancel a date at the last minute and never called to reschedule
