The only way to get over him is to let go of that idealized version of him you have in your heart. I have no doubt that you are crushing on someone made almost entirely out of wishful thinking and hopeful expectations. In reality, he's just a guy who didn't like you enough to date you. What was special and meaningful to you (the flirting), was just a way for him to soak up some harmless female attention. If he wanted to make more of it, he would have.
I expect you have all these ideas about why he didn't date you, but when it comes right down to it - it is painfully simple. He just didn't want to. You'll have to let go of the idea that some 'cosmic forces' kept you apart. As long as you think that it is some outside influence that kept you from being together, you will not get over him. The only way is to realize that only one person kept you from becoming more: him.
There is no trick to letting go of an idealized version of someone. People are fairly easy to let go of - hope, on the other hand is not.
For a while, you'll need to arrange simply not to see him or talk to him - or have any contact with him at all. Put yourself on some self-enforced no contact. Go out of your way not to see him or talk to him. Make a point of not being places where you know he will be. Only time and distance will lessen the intensity of what you are feeling, and it will have to happen gradually.

Why does all the girls always love the playboys, instead of kind, and caring guys like me?

Because they want to know that they are special and unique enough to uncover a heart of gold within a pile of dirt - and turn a playboy into a good guy. When a guy is already a 'good guy' - then how will someone with a fairly weak ego know that they are special and unique, if there is nothing to change? I guess for some women, their worth lies in how well they think they can 'help' or 'change' someone through the power of "love".
Unfortunately, I have found that digging in dirt rarely turns up a heart of gold. The dirtpile may be a someone else's treasure, but if a guy presents himself to you specifically as a dirtpile - there is little point in digging for a treasure he doesn't really want you to have. All you get is dirty hands and a broken heart.
