help- absolutely heartbroken and led on

The realization that I was just led on and played the past few months has made me feel sick. I was "talking" with a guy I met initially in person but we wound up being long distance b/c he moved. For months, he made me feel amazing and tho I've never believed in love, I started to think I was falling in love with him. I developed concerns b/c throughout all this, he never talked about feelings for me or even complimented my appearance; it was always more emotional conversation and not at all flirtatious. So about 5 months in I ask him what the intent is here and we have a conversation that leads to to several suspicions 1) he never planned on dating me in real life or in the future and he never had; he didn't want to commit to me in anyway ever 2) he wanted an out 3) he refered to these "other variables" that to me meant him pursuing other girls. I decided to end it b/c of these suspicions but a few weeks later I felt guilt b/c everything was great when we were a thing and I had just been reading between lines. So i reached out after winding up in the same city just stating he always has me as a friend and thru our conversation then, he confirmed all suspicions were true. He's told me he's already with another girl and I saw on social media that they went out. I'm absolutely heartbroken and can't believe I let this guy play me for months. I feel dumb, stupid, naive, my self esteem tanked. But all I deperately wanted was to feel loved and to him it was a game.
