What do YOU feel? Do you really like him or is it just getting carried away with the fantasy that attracts you?
When you cancelled first it was not because you didn't want to meet him, so it might as well be the same case with his cancellation. you don't know. It doesn't say much.
If you want it and he didn't disapprove so far, give yourself a chance. Yes, you can lose your "dignity" (harsh phrasing, I would say) but you can lose a potentially great companion.

If you ask me - hell with the rules, do your thing and let things happen or not.
