2 months ago (after a awful relationship) I started speaking to a man on tinder.
We exchanged numbers and straight away started speaking a lot.
Before work,during work after work etc.
He added me to Instagram and sometimes we would be chatting at the same time on both.
We had our first date 3 weeks ago after a month of chatting.
It went really well and we never stopped talking and laughing.
Straight after the date he rang me and he we spoke on the phone for a hour and he asked me out Again.
We arranged this Friday,so I booked the table and paid £20 deposit (outdoor drinks ,put they need deposits to secure table )
He was excited and talked about what drinks he fancied.
He was tagging me in posts about the place etc.
He would ring me most days after work for a hour,sometimes twice in one night.
He spoke about how his nephews were going to love me,told me he wanted to come with me whilst I pick a car (as I'm too nice and they will try and rip me off )
He is offered to pick me up from work as my car broke down.
Set an alarm every morning at 4am to text me good morning before my job started.
Last Thursday he text and asked if I wanted to grab a coffee (I said no as I was so busy that day)
He said no problem and was excited for Friday.
I was also so excited.
I thought at last I had met a nice guy.
Then Saturday I felt a change.
He wasn't chatting,no texts,no phone calls.
I tried texting but he would read and not reply for a few hours (I could just tell )
Sunday I spoke about our next date and how we would freeze in the beer garden..he replied ha.
He also was posting topless pics on his insta story (as though he was trying to impress someone )
Then he tagged a girl in his story of a song.
Monday he text "hi sorry I'm not ready to date after my ex broke my heart ,hopefully you understand,can you please delete my number"
I was shocked and text asking what I had done.
He said "it's me not you"
Then I said "you've done a 360 overnight"
He said he hadn't and had been thinking about it for a few days.
Then he blocked me on everything just like that gone.
My gut instinct told me check tinder ..there he was,with new pics (pics he sent me two weeks earlier )
Later in the day his profile was gone.
So my gut says,he started talking to someone new who he obviously preferred..I'm assuming the girl he tagged.
She was tanned,huge boobs,posing on a bed with legs spread etc (so clearly caught his eye )
How intense with me (over 2000 texts in two months ) will be what she's getting.
I'm upset (I know it was only 1 date) but everything was so intense.
Now he's gone just like that.
Aibu to think that's what's happened ?
AIBU?
He has met someone else hasn't he?

These people are arses! I know this isn't much consolation and not particularly helpful at the mo but thank goodness it ended here and not months/years down the line with much more invested. People can be awful and it can make you feel really vulnerable. Be good to yourself, you deserve better x
Re-read your post. Everything is about how into you he was. There's not really any mention about how YOU felt about him.
I think you've only been hit this hard because he totally love bombed you and enjoyed the attention.
I know it's a shit feeling right now but I reckon you've had a lucky escape.
He's not a catch. Dust yourself off and find someone better.
I’ve been there, done that and got the t-shirt in the past. I fully agree with others that he was too intense - the 4am alarm thing was a red flag alone, never mind all the other stuff.
From experience, I guarantee that he will be in contact again in the future - please make sure you keep him blocked on all media! About 8 years ago I had a thread on here about my heartbreak after a similar experience. I had sleepless nights at the time, wondering what I did wrong. Like you, we had spent hours chatting and texting, talking about the future etc. To this day I still receive a text from him once or twice a year, which I ignore 
"I loved all his attention,it made me feel special and worth something again."
That's understandable, it's ok to be upset. Probably date somewhere other than tinder though. It's full of dickheads.
"That's setting the bar very low. He's messed Op around big time."
Actually no. My bar is much higher, as should OPs be. He's putting topless pics and song lyrics on Instagram. He's telling her she's too nice to buy her own car without him there 
.
He's a dick, but he's had one date with her. One date, just one. He then ended it with her quite firmly, didn't leave her dangling at all, didn't blame her.
Hardly "messed her around big time". Big time? She's got to ring the bar for her deposit back and that's it. Onwards and upwards (a lot further upwards).
"Big time" give over.
