I think almost all of us here have had a similar encounter at some point in our lives.
I'm in my mid 30s and my "Houston we've got a problem" moment came to me only just this last summer when I involved myself with a 21 year old girl whom I allowed to string me along for several months (she'd intuitively do a lot of push/pull on me to the point where I'd pine for her). The situation was way out of hand only because I allowed it to continue, but boy was it ever hard for me to pull myself out of the situation. A lot of these girls do these things because they can, it reinvigorates them, gives them a sense of power, however they aren't malicious people by nature.
I think the important thing is to always keep true to your values, and to never lose sight that you should never have to sacrifice your self, your morals, beliefs, and values for anyone and should a person ask (implicitly or directly) for you to abandon these things or place them before you, that's your cue to make an exit.
You did the right thing tonight, and although I'm certain it hurts, hold your head high in knowing that you stood up for yourself. Perhaps you will have your weak moments, but those will pass - as much as I don't believe in burning bridges, there are always exceptions to this rule.
No way man that sucks. I had a girl string me along for a month and went I ended it, it hurt. I now have a feeling she's trying to get with my SPAM who is also a good mate of mine. Guess you can't get away from the hoes sometimes.
Did she string you along by saying she didn't want sex until you were fully committed or was it more manipulation games she was playing?
