Why do you want him back? He made plans, and then completely blew you off without even a call or text. Sending him a bunch of texts and emails to find out what is going on is not unreasonable. You just saw him a couple days before and then he vanished. What if something happened to him? Or, more importantly, what about some common f-ing courtesy, douchebag? Sounds like he's the one who committed an epic fail.

After five weeks of dating, you should at least warrant a text canceling plans. It's not like this was going to be your second date and he blew you off. You've been dating for over a month. Even if he's busy, he should at least have gotten back to you to cancel. You have a life too, and it's understandable that you'd want to know what's going on. If this was the second or third date, I'd say you were maybe pushing too hard. But after five weeks of dating, you deserve more than "I'll get back to you when I get back to you."

I would call or email him once more and say that you were hurt by the way he blew you off. Let him know that if he wants to keep seeing you, he needs to be more considerate and give you a heads up in the future if he's going to cancel. If he responds and is apologetic, then decide if he deserves another chance. But if he doesn't get back to you, that is definitely a sign that you aren't all that important to him. Why do you want to be with someone who can't be bothered to text "Can't meet 2nite. Reschedule?"

The fact that he's a "man's man" who eats raw meat and watches crappy Spike TV shows shouldn't matter. What, he can't treat you with a basic level of human decency? Seriously, frak this guy. In the end, the fact that he blew you off is probably a good thing. You're better off calling it quits before you waste even more time.
