Should I assume the date is off?

Been talking to a guy for a few weeks from online dating. He seemed very nice and sweet, and keen.

arranged a date for tonight, set a time and location

heard from him last at approximately 4am (he was arriving back from being abroad, text me to let me know he arrived)

I haven't heard from him since then, so all day. i get he would want to sleep in having got back so late but I would have thought he'd be awake by now. I have messages to ask if we're still on. Not read and no answer

at what point do I assume the date is not on? I don't want to start getting ready for nothing

I feel pretty sorry for men with all this dating stuff that goes around on TikTok! People just make stuff up because they need content and then it somehow becomes gospel, and now if a man doesn't text by 10am the morning of a planned date (with a set time and place), they get grief.

Try not to overthink things and just have fun / enjoy getting to know him OP. And don't get too invested too soon!

I wonder how much of it is bitterness. OP finds a decent guy, is told he's a waster. Hmmm
