My date insists he didn't unmatch me.

Morning

Alex and I matched a few weeks ago and planned our third date for last week. A few days before, I checked out his profile and saw he was 5 hours away before returning to our town the day after, but then the following day I was unmatched.

I sent him a text thanking him for his time and wishing him the best. He called to say he hasn't unmatched me, he is keen to meet, and he has been ill in bed all weekend (even tho his profile said he was 5h away during this time). He also said that our conversation is the only one that's missing.

Is it possible that a bug in bumble deleted our conversation from his end? On my end, it says "they have ended the chat".

Very confused! Thank you for your help.
