I do respect your difference of opinion, but I just can't agree with it b/c I can't see how there's any empathy from some 50 year old guy who didn't respect me enough to let me know ahead of time he wasn't going to meetup with me. So, that statement conflicts with his actions.

Without me knowing a lot more about the situation, it would be impossible for me to make an educated guess as to what was going on his head, so I'm not going to try. Although, I can think of a number of reasons as to why he would say that, I lean more to the idea that he felt bad about it, but didn't want to fully admit it or take responsibility. Again, it's still childish and rude, but I hardly think it's deliberate manipulation or gaslighting, which is much more severe.
I'll try to go more in depth on it later, especially since I had a similar mishap with one of my friends the other night, but I need to get ready for work.
And regardless, I still think the best thing for you is to end the relationship. He doesn't seem to be in a good place.
