This guy isn’t completely sure about whether he wants to go on a date with you, and so he hesitates.
As someone who cancelled a date on you, there are no guarantees that he wanted to go on said date in the first place.
Regardless of what he told you in terms of why he couldn’t make it to the date, consider the possibility that he never cared all that much about going to it.
This being said, he has continued to text but hasn’t rescheduled the cancelled date because he is unwilling to let go of the prospect of going out on a date with you entirely.
He wants to keep you around as a dating option, but you are not a priority to him.
As long as he continues to text you and you continue to respond, he gets to maintain a connection with you.
Should he arrive at a point in his life where he wants to go on a date with you, he can exercise that option.
As of now, he hasn’t rescheduled a cancelled date with you, given that he doesn’t feel the need to exercise that option.
When a guy behaves like this, he has a variety of dating options that have a much higher priority to him than you do.
This is a popular a reason why a guy would cancel a date on you.
There is another girl he is much more interested in courting, and is exercising this advantage by going out on dates with her instead.
This being said, he is not on a solid footing with this girl.
He isn’t wholly confident that she likes him, and is getting a notion that she isn’t quite as into him as he is into her.
She has already cancelled a few dates on him in the past, and he has struggled to get her to commit to seeing him on more dates.
This puts him in a tricky and unstable position.
As a result, he continues to text you, not wanting to completely abandon the idea of going out on a date with you.
He wants to stay on your radar in some capacity so that you don’t forget him.
This way, if he ever decided to give up on this girl that he has prioritized over you, he knows that he has you as an option to go out on a date with.
His interest in you is nowhere near the level of his interest in this girl.
Irrespective of whether he asks you out on a date in the foreseeable future, this isn’t the right guy for you.
He would only be asking you out because someone else that he was much more interested in didn’t work out or hasn’t been working out.
This makes you vulnerable.
The moment someone better comes along, he is going to start cancelling dates on you again.
