You're not dating, no less in a relationship. He doesn't owe you an explanation.

Just delete and block him. Don't stew about how random dating app people "should" act.

Make sure you are ready to date and not harboring baggage from someplace that's causing this disproportionate reaction.

You are right indeed re harboring baggage. Its been a year and I am still not fully over. So mainly looking for rebound, just to help to forget that guy. But I am saying from the beginning that I want to start casual and see where it goes.

Before there were dating apps / websites, people used to do this.  I think our expectations have changed since the introduction of technology into the picture, but motivations have not.  Don't think that people are any different than they were just because they are using technology, some get you interested then hang you out to dry.  Don't spend any more time than you have around this, just move on.

It’s one of those things that happens sometimes with not much of an explanation. I’ve had it happen multiple times in person.
 

A few weeks before I met my husband, I met someone while running an errand. We really hit it off and engaged in a pleasant conversation. He kept mentioning meeting for coffee and gave me his business card at the end (again mentioning a possible date). I did forward my number and he responded kindly. However, there was no mention of wanting to meet up and I never heard from him again. I’m glad it worked out that way but I know it can be frustrating when you’re trying to meet people. Just have to keep moving forward.

Exactly. "Why didn't he ever call?" - cue girl's night with junk food, was a thing in the 80s, LOL.
