How to get even with a boy?

I created a dating profile to pass time and matched with this decent looking guy. We exchanged socials and texted often everyday. It seemed like he was genuinely interested in me somewhat but I could kind of tell that us dating was up in the air. He joined the army right after high school because he had a daughter and was now back to start school and having a part time job at a Walmart.

as discussing meeting up, he informed me that he was going to get his first check from work in a little while but wanted to meet up sooner for our date. I told him we should wait but he kept insisting so I said sure and gave him gas money to meet me in the middle since we lived 2 hours away from each other.

we met up for the date, and I paid for his food. Everything seemed to go fine to the point he wanted sex even. I spent more money by giving his new dog a toy as well. Before, throughout, and after the date he kept reassuring me that we’d go on another one a couple of weeks from then and I trusted him since there was no reason not to at that time.

he left and we texted somewhat more afterwards but his replies became less over time. I asked him what was the problem and he said he was busy with work. I then asked when we were going on that date again since a couple of weeks had passed and that’s when he ghosted me altogether. I didn’t know that then since i thought he was busy so I sent a text a day basically asking if he liked me, if not it was fine I at least wanted 1/2 the money back since I spent $150 that day. I even sent a money request earlier this week to pay me back half of it and he still hasn’t sent me anything.

he unadded me as a friend today on the social after responding to his story requesting him to be a man of his word and at least be honest with me. I wanted to know how to get him back if I can in this situation because he doesn’t have me blocked on other social media outlets. What should I do or say to get his attention so I can at least reach him a lesson?
