How long should I wait before cancelling a friend request that I sent to a guy? Will it look worse that I cancel it?

It's been 2 days and he has not accepted. We have a 12 year age gap so he may not use social media like me. The longer I wait the more stupid I feel and I regret sending it. Older people I talk to said he may not be that into social media and may not be on there since I sent it especially if he has notifications turned off. Will it look dumb if I cancel the request at this point?
