His feelings are valid, I understand and I think we’ve all been there. Just because we can relate to what he’s feeling though doesn’t mean it’s the right way to handle things. It also doesn’t mean he’s the best guy to date, because what does that say about how he deals with his emotions? Does he just jump ship and block people when shit gets hard or if he gets bored? Is he someone who will commit or is he too indecisive? Will he be inconsistent or disappointing you often and expecting you to forgive his apology each time? If you can relate to what he’s done, does that mean you just knowingly step into a trauma bond and sign yourself up for a dramatic dynamic? You can do better.

It took him two days to tell you this? I'm having doubts about his mindset. It was incredibly rude to stand you up, and it was HIS responsibility to cancel BEFORE the date, not to back-peddle two days later after BLOCKING you!!!
He admits it was HIS fault. But how old is he? 12? Bad manners and he's confused about how serious a date is. Was this the first date? If it was, I'd make it the last.
If you've seen him before and this is a blip, it might be excusable. Otherwise, he sounds like he has a screw loose. The blocking is really disturbing. He cut YOU off and it was HIS faux pas. He owed you an apology immediately. Red flag.
Dump him. Can’t even get the balls to go on a date?
He’s prob in a relationship. Married or living with the person and she changed her plans. So he had to ditch you.
Please dump him. Don’t be a pussy.
Well. If he’s not interested in you then he should have said so. I think you should tell him how you feel. I can assume you’re not interested in seeing him anymore and if that’s the case be clear with that.

Do you like him? If so, try for another date.
Walk away.
Don't respond. Just move on.
Here is the type of "bailed on a date" you can go out with again:
"Hey, I am so sorry but an emergency has come up and I'm going to need to cancel tonight. I am really looking forward to going out, I want to re-schedule will next Friday work for you? Once again, I'm so sorry to do this to you but it is unavoidable.
I think I have missed out on a potentially good opportunities after women have canceled on first dates. They could have been nervous or they could have had legitimate reasons. Hell I was nervous too.
I am a calm person, but I likely overreacted and we never met. Lesson learned and still learning from life. Act calmly and don't overreact!
Depends. How much do you know about him? Does he go on a lot of dates? If it’s been awhile and he had anxiety, it’s unlikely- but possible his explanation is true. If he’s no stranger to dating, than he likely blew you off for another woman who he ended up just hooking up with or who blew him off for another guy.
Doesn't sound genuine. I never take an apology message seriously if they have to send the message in multiple messages
Why are you bothering to come here asking for advice when it clears as day you will take him back give him another chance.
Ugh, sounds like he's either very young, immature, and inexperienced or a f*ckboy type. If it's the latter then he was talking to another woman, hooked up with her, and lost interest in her afterwards and is looking for another conquest (you) to possibly do the same to. He could've had plans with another woman and they fell through so now he's circling back to you. I'd not waste time on someone who would block you for no good reason like that.
Sounds like a loser. You dodged a bullet. It's bad enough that he bailed on a date, but block your number too? Nope. Plenty other people in the world. He's not special.
Sounds immature.
It's up to you if you want to guy this 10 year old another chance. BLOCKING you for no good reason and on a first date? Sounds unstable already. Good luck with this one lol.
He Had Ghosted You as He was Scared of Going too Fast but a Second Chance to Slow it Down. One more Chance. xxoo
On Saturday you had a date, he bailed on you, he blocked your ass & now he has the nerve to message you today which it Monday, WTF?
If truth be told you should tell him to GO POUND SAND!
I think he deserves another chance. It took a lot of guts to send you that message. He must really mean it.
I mean... I personally wouldn't have any patience for that level of confusion, but it doesn't need to be a dealbreaker, if he gets his shit together.
Thats a big no. Tell him to go with his gut feeling and good luck. For whatever reason, he doesn’t want to see you face to face and thats a bad sign.
I don't know, the blocking thing would make me take a pass.
This is a big time NOPE. Block him and never look back.
Lol, how many ricks, toms, richards do you have in your phone though
I'm being facetious here, but, you get the point
That’s so lame. Do you know what you’re gonna do right?
Either
a) he has social issues or
b) he found a better date that didn't work out.
I can understand that feeling. I can't imagine ever acting on it though.
He could be legit
