<human>: I [23F] met this guy [23M] on Tinder (of all places) and we went on two dates. The first was very successful - chemistry, connection, all that jazz. The second date went well, so he asked me out for a third date, which was supposed to be this past Friday.

The day before, I confirmed where we were going, if he still wanted to go out, etc., although we didn't set an exact time. This is where things get hairy. The night of, he was hanging out with friends prior to meeting me, but hadn't reached out for about 4 hours. I texted him at that point, asking if he still wanted to meet. His response was something along the lines of, "oh, we *might* be going out to the bars at some point."

I was livid. I understand we're not exclusively dating, and sometimes when you're having a good time with your friends, you don't want to leave. BUT WE SPECIFICALLY MADE PLANS. Granted, we didn't have that set time, but I didn't appreciate being made to feel like him meeting up with me for drinks was an afterthought to his night. 

He did contact me an hour later, asking if I was still around, but at that point I had to go home. 

My question is in two parts: a.) did I have a right to be pissed, and b.) is it possible that this resulted from poor communication on my part? (i.e. not telling him I had to leave by a certain time, not specifying a time to meet him, etc.) Bonus question: How do I ensure I'm not being stupid regarding this situation?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I feel like I was stood up on our third date, but not sure if it was the result of poor communication.
