Actually, when he cancelled I was going over to his and he supposedly fell asleep lol.

My initial feeling was to try one last time in a few days to initiate meeting for coffee or something, the same time we were meant to last week (even though my friends advised against this ), and if he doesn't respond well to that/sounds disinterested, then it really is time to give it up right?

The best advise I can give you is don't make it technical. This is not a chess game. Don't overthink it.
If you're just looking to be in a relationship and it's just "casting" the first guy that walks across the street and is qualified enough for the "position" - then don't expect it to be something more than this. Are you willing to start something like this?
If you're really into him, then continue and let the story unfold. You do your best. When you feel it doesn't go anywhere and you just drag yourself around it, stop it - you'll know when it comes to that point.
