Why would he chose her over me?

I know this is probably not gonna get a lot of answers but I need a place to vent...

This guy I’ve been trying to get to know for a short 2 and a half months just decided to chose someone else I guess.
I feel like we had that chemistry and much of our relationship was emotionally based. We talked almost every hour of every day and he was really into me! I’m confident, artistic, musical, sweet, compassionate and ambitious.
I was so patient with him and I was always there to pick him up when he was down.
I felt like this couldn’t have gone any better.

Fast forward, I found out he posted something on his Instagram story and he was in a hotel room with another girl calling her cute😞

I was so upset. He was always telling me how he wanted to be a good person and this and that but everything he said turned out to be so contradictory in the end....

When he noticed that I found out I blocked him on Instagram... he then proceeded to call me which I didn’t answer.... he texted me and apologized saying that he just started dating someone and he should’ve told me....

And really he should’ve. Because essentially he was leading me on....
But she doesn’t even live in the same state as us.
Which is cool if long distance is ur thing whatever.

I dunno. I’m pretty poppin and confident and he had a lot of self esteem issues. He always thought I was more popular than him and he knew I was “desirable “ as they say. He knew I had a lot of options but he didn’t know I that he was the only one I gave my time to. once we were talking on the phone and he told me that I was smart and I made him feel stupid and I just honestly get the feeling he thought that he wasn’t good enough because he had so much self doubt.

He would always make comments like “I’m surprised you remember my name. That’s cool” and “you seem like you’re miss popular. I don’t have many friends.”. he would always tell me how how’s too weird to get a girlfriend... just little things like that which were pretty telling. I think I intimidated him so In the end he ruined it for himself through his insecurities.

It really upset me that he lied and he tried and tried to apologize to me but I just couldn’t accept them. I mean how am I supposed to know he wasn’t lying then either??

I dunno but we haven’t spoken in just under a week. He’s a shit head. I’m still poppin and cute but sometimes it bothers me u know. Anyone can tell you their deep feelings and fears and what scares them and you might think things are looking up but they could just be lies.

Our story is a long one there’s a lot to it but yeah. I dunno. I feel like he just settled on someone easier than I am. Maybe I intimidated him.
It wasn’t because he wasn’t into me because he was always complimenting me and telling me I was cute and artistic and such. He was definitely feeling me.... I just think he was a coward. Cause he would call me and be too shy to hang out or I dunno. Just certain things he would say u could tell he had low self esteem.

It’s a really long story and a lot of the details are left out due to space. It’s a shame he threw such a good thing away.

All I can think of is one situation with me. Perhaps his values didn't align up with yours and just didn't want to offend you. I know better now. Yet back then I didn't. I should have never let it last that long.
