To cancel a first date, I know it's a shitty thing to do

It's someone from OLD, the date is supposed to be at 7:30pm, meeting for a drink. Been talking on Hinge for about 5 days.

I know I've massively wasted his time, and this is really flaky, but I've decided he's not for me and I'm not in a position to be dating.
Or should I just go and grin and bear it? It's nothing against him.
I imagine he'll be pissed off and rightly so.

No, cancel it if you're certain he's not for you. In my opinion, it would be wasting his time to go on the date. You're not obligated to go on a date with anyone.

There's a chance you might like him in person, of course. But probably not if you're already put off.

It's not shitty. You don't owe him anything. Enjoy your free evening!
