I do think it was too soon to be expecting much from someone when an in person meeting did not occur yet. However, that being said, he did say on two separate occasions that he would call you the next day, and he did not follow through. SO, from that perspective, I think you have every right to have doubts about whether this person has the ability to follow through on what he says and claims. And pushing back the time on the day you were supposed to meet? Maybe he's not reliable. So, the bottom line is: I think you did well by keeping track of things and being on top of noticing when he may fall short. So, good job, I say!

But yeah, in general I think during a pandemic is a tough time to try and date. I also think that you don't need to spell out your expectations of someone from the outset. If they fall short, you can just say, thanks, but we're not the right match. If you spell out what you expect, then the other person may try harder to meet that expectation and unnaturally. Just let things unfold naturally, and sit back and observe. Then make your decision. That's my two cents!
