Why did he say i’m beautiful and then leave?

Author

He ended things a few weeks ago and said I’m beautiful intelligent kind and that I have a good heart but he just didn’t have feelings for me. He apologized for the mixed signals and admitted he’d never really been sure what kind of feelings he had from the start.
Looking back I could see the effort fading and the mixed signals piling up but I kept holding onto hope because he was still sweet to me. He flirted complimented me asked me out and even sent me late-night voice messages saying he loved talking to me and wanted to spend more time together. It felt like we were stuck in a situationship and I genuinely thought it was leading somewhere.
Now I can't stop asking myself what I was missing. If he never had feelings why did he pursue me in the first place? Why make me feel wanted if he wasn't sure? Was I just not enough or was he looking for attention? He has no idea how deeply I fell for him.
After his final message he even deleted my number. Seeing his profile picture disappear made it feel like I was so easy to erase from his life and that part hurts almost as much as the rejection.
This is my first time going through something like this. I keep thinking about him every little memory comes rushing back and every time I see him my chest hurts. I feel insecure empty and I honestly don't know how to stop wondering what I could've done differently.

Your first time feeling like this is never gonna be easy no matter what you do. Unfortunately it’s gonna happen again like it has happened for many of us.

This is a real thing now people just say all the right things you invest in them love them and then one day they just leave. And in my case the person was with someone else like 3 days later. How the hell can you even process things so fast.

I feel for you similar thing happened to me but he didn’t give me any compliments just bluntly broke me off and told me he didn’t want to see me again. He sent me a nice voice message the night before too then next day discarded me with no warning. Nothing you can do but accept it, learn from the experience and do your best to forget about him. I know it’s hard :(
