I water after planting them and I've never had a problem. I did about 100 tomato plants from seed this spring. Keep them warm and moist and they will pop out. It is common for seeds to take 1-2 weeks to germinate. Don't give up on them, just keep trying to improve their environment. Let us know when they pop out.....
Pots warm, soil not so warm.
Humidty and ambient air temps make a good seedling.
To much heat will just cook the seeds.
