Say bye and find a new roomie. Hasn’t given you any indication he’s committed
I guess I gotta learn from my mistakes!

Why is this even a question? Find someone else. He has already screwed you over twice.
On a serious note: just move on with the apartment decision without him. From a friendship viewpoint if you are not going to keep a grudge, then continue and forget about it. If you think you will be ticked about this for a long time better distance yourself from him gracefully.
On a funny note: move on and pretend you forgot about this and be great friends. Then 6 months/one year from now go to have dinner/drinks together. Pretend to go to the bathroom and instead leave him with the whole check to pay and then ghost him :)
Revenge, sweet revenge!
You don't deal with them in the future
Sounds like he is just playing hard to get. Okay, so now you ignore him. Post videos and pictures on snapchat/Instagram of you hanging out with other roomies. Make it look fun, play ping pong, Xbox, go to a park, etc. If he is Gen Z, maybe post some videos of you doing Tik Tok dances with these other roomies. He'll hit you with a "wyd" at 3 AM within a month, guaranteed. When that happens, make him see what he is missing out on, go rollerblading with him, take him to get ice cream, play corn hole with him, hell take him to your secluded cabin by the river. Show him how fun it would be to be your roomie. Then once that fun filled day is over, go back to ignoring him and posting videos on social media with you hanging with other roomies. After a week or so of that, he is ALL YOURS.
Hahaha
say bye!!! this happened to me and it turned out the girl was searching for somewhere with a cheaper rent. decided (midway through doing the lease application and a couple of days before moving in) that she found somewhere cheaper. Does not bode well for your future
If the person reached you through any online portal, put a note there so others are aware of this person. Sometimes we need to teach people how to be professional
You waited 2 months on someone’s word? And it sounds like you don’t know them very well, if at all?
Sorry, but this is on you too. Lesson learned. Next time they need to sign the lease with you and send you a deposit
I did this exact thing with my roommate, where I was moving in 6 weeks later, except we signed the lease together and I sent them $2500 (half of $5000 deposit)
Look at this from another angle too, if you carry any anger from this, it will impact your productivity at work. It will impact your mood. So, let it go, just realize that there are people like this too. As others said, one more life lesson learned and make it a fun!
Cut them out and block their number

Doesn’t he have to sign a lease? I’d have the person sign and state the move-in date so you have it in writing.
