Should I just let this one go?

Earlier this year I was dating someone but it ended around January. I get back on dating apps in Feb and met this guy who I went on a fun date with and then BOOM pandemic hits. After that, we’d talk almost daily via text (with him inititaiting 90% of the time). Eventually, things in our town started to open so we met in person a week ago. Before anyone judges, we had masks on and only took them off to drink our drinks, were separated from others, didn’t kiss, etc. We met outside at a place serving drinks. The good part of the date is I was attracted to this guy, he was easy to talk to, fun, etc. But I noticed his personality is a bit abrasive and he has a really sarcastic sense of humor (I think I have a good sense of humor, but sometimes I miss sarcasm so I’m often like “what??”). So, I wasnt sure if we’d be a great match but it was nice to have someone to hang out with in person after being isolated for so long, and I’m trying to be less picky.

To preface my next sentiment, I am definitely one who likes to drink and have fun so I really have no room to judge anyone else who does that. That being said, later that same day while we’re out I noticed he’s getting really drunk – not being mean or anything, but just a little slurry and kept talking over/interrupting me. There was a couple who struck up a conversation with us and I could tell the woman was not impressed by this guy because he kept talking over me and I felt kind of embarrassed. He was also dropping the F bomb left and right which is FINE but also I find weird to do with strangers. He also made a really weird sexually explicit comment to a stranger that I actually said “why would you say that?”. Anyways – before all this happened we had a nice time talking outside and got along well but all that left a bad taste in my mouth – but again, trying not to be so judgemental when I like to drink myself and have been a mess a few times in my life.

The next day we’re talking over text and I guess I was being short (I didnt even realize I was just busy) and he asked me what was wrong and I just said nothing I had fun but I feel like there was a point where he got a little rude, drunk, and obnoxious. He said sorry and he thinks he drank alot because we don’t really know each other that well yet. Idk what that means – nerves I guess? Anyways, after that I noticed he was taking hours in between texts (when usually responses have been fairly quick). We were supposed to meet up outside again tomorrow but I have a feeling he may be ghosting me now because I called him out? I think I’m asking for advice on what to do here because I think when someone does the “slow fade” or ghosts it’s the rudest thing in the world. The original plan to meet up again tomorrow was mine – so I feel like if I don’t hear anything I should just not say anything at all. Or should I follow up? Or should I call out the behavior? Do you think someone like this deserves another chance or am I just being way too lenient? I’m not always the best decision maker with relationships so wanted to ask for advice.
