Ugh...well supposed to have a first date tomorrow night with a guy I’ve been talking to off a dating app. Thing is it’s almost 10pm and I haven’t heard from him since Monday. We don’t have concrete plans and the only reason I’m hesitant to text him to confirm is because we were originally supposed to meet up Tuesday evening, so I reached out to him Monday to say hi (didn’t mention the date) and he right away asked if we could reschedule for Friday since this is was his first week back to work, I said ok that would work, we texted a bit more and that was the last we spoke.

I don’t know if I should shoot him a text again or just wait for him to text me (if he even does). I’m just getting so sick of all these flakey guys on these dating apps!

You could text him tomorrow mid-day, "OK, since I haven't heard from you about our date later today, I'm assuming it's off. I've made plans with a gf for the evening. Enjoy your weekend."

See what happens. Even if he had tough first week at a new job, that's no excuse to not confirm a date. How long does it take to text, "Looking fwd to Friday! Can we meet at (place) at (time)? Does that work for you?"

If I don’t hear from him by mid-day tomorrow, I don’t think there’s any point in texting him.

Yup a text takes 2 seconds to send! I’m just getting frustrated because this has literally happened with every guy I’ve spoken to off these apps in the past month or so! And this guy was the one who kept asking when could we meet up!

I agree.

I just don't get flakiness. Can't live that way.

Clearly not a man of his word. Let him go.

If there is a reason why he cannot make it e.g. due to work then he should communicate and let you know. A quick text isn't at all difficult.

Maybe you need to get off dating "apps" and just meet a guy "organically" - you know, the old fashioned way: in-person, or perhaps with an introduction from a friend or relative. It IS still done, you know.

You reached out to him the first time. Let him contact you. If he doesn't, move on. Online can be frustrating.

The old fashioned way really isn't in fashion these days with covid and social distancing is it? I think online is the best way to go for now.
