Good point!! Guess I'm truly trying to leave a good impression, which is unrealistic. He hasn't left me one... touche. Moving on! Thanks everyone!
Hey, I know where you're at, I think we've all been there.
We all have been rejected, in romance, in business, etc. Most times it's not us, not our fault. It's just a situation that you don't have much control of. You sound too good for him, honestly, in a different league. Find someone that deserves you..
If he asked you out by a text, cancel by a text. Or call him. Send him an email. Don't show up. Whatever. If you are not happy, with his actions, don't go on the date, because you will probably be bitter. He doesn't seem to interested to me.
Blah, I hate texts.
I agree. Also it seems to me you are taking his actions way too seriously. Read between the lines: he is just not that into you. It is ok. They are more fish in the pond.
Thanks everyone, I agree. He doesn't seem interested. But, my question really is, if he does call, HOW do I politely tell him I'm no longer interested and disappointed in his behavior? What do I say exactly?
You politely say, "I'm sorry, but when I didn't hear from you I made other plans."

I would try to avoid "disappointed in his behavior" unless he presses you. You're not his mother (though I admit he sounds like no catch.)
Another poster had a good idea. If (and only if) he calls, I would politely say that you had a good time on your date, but that after you didn't hear back you assumed he wasn't really interested and made plans with someone else. No harm, no foul. In fact, since he's left you hanging several times, I might even ignore the first call and only actually speak to him if he makes the effort to call back a second time. Otherwise, I would assume that since he's giving you the brush-off by not communicating, he'll be able to interpret what the same behavior means from you.

Just make other plans for that night. And if he acts surprised that you stood him up, just say that your original "date' wasn't set in stone and when he didn't confirm it, you just moved on. If he asks you out again, and you feel like going, make sure that it's a real date and go. But if he acts all wishy-washy again, then continue your life without him.
Some people are scared off when a prospective date seems to have a completely empty social life. No one wants to be another person's entire focus and life so soon.
And fine yourself some new activities and hobbies to do that have nothing at all to do with finding romance.
What date are you talking about? I don't think you have a date. He never got back to you to finalize the plans so it's off. Time to get back online and search for more people.
