Why did he start dating me while he was engaged?

I had a gut feeling he was a player but I went with the flow and enjoyed our time together. I let him sweep me off my feet, stupidly.
I'm 46 and have been on my own (by choice) for the last 4 years since my marriage ended.
After a holiday back in July I realised I need more in my life, so with some encouragement from friends of friends I met a guy through them.
He awakened feelings in me that I hadn't felt for a long time. He'd bombard me with texts most days and I enjoyed the attention.

A few days ago I did a bit of digging on social media (should've listened to my gut feelings) and there he is with his fiancée!! Pictures of their engagement in July and holiday in August!
I felt sick to my stomach - he started seeing me only 7 weeks after getting engaged! I text him the next morning and just said I would've never gone near him if I'd known he had a girlfriend, let alone a fiancée- he's only been engaged to since July - disgusting!
As soon as the message was delivered I blocked his number because I didn't want to hear his response, if I got one. Later that day I noticed he'd set his Facebook page to private so all those pictures aren't visible anymore.
I'm swinging between being upset, angry and downright miserable. It was a big step for me going out with someone after four years and I don't know how I'm ever going to trust anyone again.
And why would he start messing about with someone else only 7 weeks after getting engaged! Confused & cross.
