To assume the date isn't going ahead?

I've been speaking to a man I met on OLD for a few weeks. The first opportunity we both had was this weekend, just for a coffee and a walk.

We haven't been speaking everyday which I was enjoying as I think it removes any pressure. However, we would speak every couple of days, just a few messages back and forth.

The last I heard from him was last Friday, I sent the last text and there was no reply which is absolutely fine. But it's almost been a week and I haven't heard anything.

Our date is meant to be on Saturday and I'm assuming he would have been in touch before now if it was still going ahead?

Yes, I could message him but I'm honestly not overly bothered and I text last time.

I just wonder if I go ahead and make other plans, and he contacts me Saturday morning arranging our date if that would be out of order of me?

I wouldn't go. I get that it's only a date and he doesn't have to be committed to you just yet, but I never really did the casual going on lots of dates thing. I had lots of chats, but I would only meet up with the ones that I hit it off with over messaging/ phone and got to know them a bit first before meeting. So I wouldn't like that he had not been in touch during the week. That suggests he's meeting others, which is totally fine if you're both on the same wavelength, but it wasn't my experience at all. I found it better to focus on one at a time.

He slow faded you. Walk away and onto the next one.
