Asked me out consistently for a year and when I agreed to meet.. he bailed?

Question

Met a guy off bumble and went on a date with him in August 2019. Since then, for over a year now, he has been asking me to meet him again. I was travelling for a few months last year and with covid.. I was not comfortable to meet.. until now. He asked 4 times in the last 2 weeks so I gave in.

We made a plan for Sunday. I was beginning to look forward to it. We had a few phone calls over the week.. it’s been really nice. The plan was to meet at 5pm on Sunday and he was to pick me up.

I texted him Saturday night to ask if we were still on, and he confirmed. Sunday comes around.. I get at text at 5:25 saying “sorry I’m held up” no further explaination or apology or communication since then. WHAT EVEN.

I could be completely wrong and thinking too far into the petty field, but this sounds like it was some kind of redemption thing. It may have been chopping at his ego or making him feel rejected each time you said no. So for him to finally have the opportunity to bail, could’ve just been him trying to boost himself before officially cutting ties. Again I may be wrong! It just sounds like he saw an opportunity to feel good about himself and took it. I once knew a guy who did that to me, and completely blocked him on everything.

If that is the case, then I hope you would cut ties. Because that’s so childish, petty and just flat out disrespectful...

Stage fright? Or the dating equivalent?
