I clearly don't know dating anymore since I've been in a relationship a long time. So if I went out with a guy 2 nights in a row what do I expect after? We were texting a few days after then it just stopped. He said he is busy with work. But I am to and don't use that as an excuse. I take it he lost interest even though he pretty much said no. I guess going to keep my options open right?
However, don't take this personally, because some people really do put work ahead of casual dating or sometimes they try dating and then decide they are not quite ready.

Also, with your having two dates in a row, off the bat, with frequent texting, it sounds like he is capable of being attentive (when it strikes the mood). But now that you haven't heard from him in three days (I agree, if he wanted, he could/ would contact you outside work hrs), I'd assumed he's backed off. Perhaps even met someone else. It's one thing to take things slow in the beginning (meeting once a week, texting every few days), gradually ramp up. But another to suddenly start (sprint), and stop. I find such behavior frustrating and flakey.
