Had you exchanged photos prior? If he already knew what you looked like and still didn't show it's probably cause he's got some crippling social anxiety retardation (duh, internet dating).
I'm sorry you got stood up, but why would YOU feel like an asshole? You did nothing wrong. Other than internet dating.
I did something like this once, but it was with someone I had used to date. When I noticed that she'd put on about 50 pounds I quickly changed my mind on rekindling the romance and made for the nearest exit.
One more thing pops out, you said he made a reservation, which leads me to believe it's a fairly nice restaurant? Isn't that a bit over the top (or at least peculiar) for a first date? Aren't first dates coffee or lunch or something just to test the waters? The fancy shmancy restaurant date isn't date #1.
If he picked that spot, then yes, he's a total idiot with insane social anxiety. And if he's reading this: Forever Alone bro.
His untimely, sudden demise was the only possible thing which could have prevented him from keeping the date. With his last breath, he was crying out for you and for the lost potential of the love that was never to be.
That's how I'd edit it in my mind if I were in your place :)

If so, shame on them. If not, why would you do that?!
