First date coming up

I have a date this weekend with a friend of a friend that I met at a party. My friend had wanted to set me up with this person for almost a year. We met at this party and my friend gave him my number. (Which he neglected to use) and I then had to ask for his number to set up this date. He rescheduled after his family sprung some surprise family thing on him and hasn’t talked to me since.

It feels like he’s not really all that interested in me or this date and is only going out with me because our friend suggested it and he wants to satisfy her?

My ex tried gas light himself into loving me for my sake (don’t ask why it didn’t make sense to me either) and now I’m terrified it’s happening again.
