Hi everyone
Hoping some of you - guys espec - might be able to shed some light on my predicament.
I had a first date with a great guy Friday afternoon. We had heaps to talk about; it was non-stop laughter and quite a bit of chemistry. He arranged to see me again Sunday before the date had ended. We had a small kiss goodbye.
He called me about 10 minutes after the date to say that he wanted to make sure I knew that he had really enjoyed the date and how glad he was that we had finally met.
He called me the next day to say hi and to see how I was, and left a message that he would talk to me soon. I returned that call, but haven't heard from him since.
We were supposed to go out this afternoon and I called him this morning to confirm that we were still going. 6 hours later, he still hasn't called.
What should I do if he doesn't ring at all today? or if he calls now, wanting to catch up tonight? Technically the afternoon isn't over so he may still call, but the tension is killing me.

something must have happened then
nothing more you can do then wait for him to call.
if he doesn't, then there is no love lost. and if he does call, find out why he did not make it this afternoon. ask what the reason is and from there decide where to go with this man and perhaps new relationship.

All comments and advice is welcome.
He may have changed his mind, men are VERY fickle... arrange to do something with a GF instead, they never let you down. Good luck
ohnuts1: he may have two people on the go ,just be careful .. i think its damn right rude he hasnt called best of luck
Agree with that nuts
Unless he's been run over by a bus or kidnapped by aliens, there's no excuse not to have called and either cancelled the arrangement or postponed it if necessary.
It's just common courtesy.
We try to see reasons behind this type of thing, but usually there aren't any.
He most likely has cold feet and not a lot of manners.

The plot thickens:
He called about 10 minutes after I posted the original post. No apologies for not calling sooner, and wanted to know was I still free tonight.
Now however, he is saying that he is very tired and not feeling the best. He still wants to catch up tonight he says. He was going to shower and shave and call me back in 15 minutes. That was an hour ago.
chris27292729: If he calls asking you out,no matter how much you have liked to go out with him, tell him because didn't called,you have made other arrangement.
Hey come on bro, put some water in your wine and let the guy have some fun.

What gives?
Oh boy
Sorry, but I'd want someone to be just as excited about seeing me as me, him.
If you really want some advice daisy, tell him to naff off, he's wasted enough of your time

Why don't you ask him instead of the angry mob?
Maybe he just can't tell time.
Make sure to be hostile on the phone, and give him a piece of your mind.

What gives? You...if you allow someone to control you like this.
That's not a normal way to behave at the start of something.
That's the way you behave when you're trying to hide something.
Like a wife and a mistress.
Things like this don't get better, they get worse.
I think you have enough information now.
Forget it, Daisy. Walk away, move on, find something better to do.

UPDATE:
He finally called, and I said "Look, if you have cold feet or just want to cancel, just say so."
He laughed and said that he didn't have cold feet but just that he wasn't feeling well. He said that he wasn't sure that he would be very good company. I told him I was dressed and ready to go and straight away he said: "Well, if you're dressed, we'll go out." But he didn't sound enthused and I wasn't going to force him. I said that I could only be guided by him.
He elected to cancel and then said he had to go. He sounded a bit annoyed too, like I had pushed the issue when I shouldn't have, or had been too pushy.
