No, he is conniving. He thought he had persuaded her to be with him through a type of power he thought he had. I don't like that he is suffering emotional pain from this, since that pain hurts regardless of who has it, but he likely tried to persuade her as well and I highly doubt it was 'love' and most likely a power play or lustful actions. He wasn't heart broken, he was emabarrased and perhaps a bit ashamed of himself for getting played whilst thinking he was playing.
