So this guy and I have been texting few times a day. He always initiated texts and we have had great conversation. He shows his liking towards me quite openly. He asked me out 2 days ago and the first date is today evening. It’s 1am of the day of the date right now where I am. we were texting till about 8pm yesterday. It was going really well and then he didn’t reply around 8pm. My last message was lighthearted so nothing controversial that he could have got offended over. I’m assuming he got busy with something. It’s now past midnight and I’m getting doubts. When should I follow up with him, if he doesn’t reply in morning, to check if date is still on? I was thinking, if he doesn’t reply by noon, I’ll send follow up text around noon because date is at 6pm. What do you suggest?
I usually confirm a few hours before the date and that's with both friends and guys back when I was still dating... I was never ghosted before an agreed date but if I were, I'd need 2-3 days of abrupt not replying before I'd just not show up without letting him know. In your case I wouldn't worry about it just yet, see how the date goes.

This is a new thing. When I was dating a guy would call or find you and ask you out -- you'd say yes and he would show up at your doorstep at the appointed time. There was no app or followup text or crazy calendaring reminder/RSVP junk... which frankly takes the romance out of the prospect of a date before you even meet up.
If you MUST send a mid-day text, then fine, do it, but personally I don't see the point. You've made the date... it's set... why pester?
The next day, an hour later, 5 minutes later, on the first date, a week later take your pick
Unless he specifically cancels, you should assume the date is still on.

Ask Him if He's been Getting your Texts (Just say) And Ask what you Both can Do on The Designated Date? See what Happens. Hope the Date is Still on. xxoo
Still on for tonight?
That’s all you gotta say.Why even stop texting in the first place? My dates have always continued to text me up until the date itself
Ma'am, he does not like you. What aren't you comprehending? He is rejecting you nicely. Take a hint and move on
Just ask a guy to pick you up from your house or maybe some place. Don't wait like a madman
A day if she wants you she'll be happy to be there.
I say a day or two before and the day of
One day prior the date.
Few hours before.
Anytime. He will answer when ready.
I don't understand why you would think it's off
The day before
