Think you are being led on? Here is some advice
Sally:
Ah, that is truly the worst feeling. It always feels terrible to feel like someone is stringing you along, but isn’t really into you. First, look for signs. Are you always the one to text him or her first? Are his or her responses very closed-ended, and always make it seem like he or she wants the conversation to be over? Are you always the one to seek them out at school to talk? If you answered yes to all three of these, I see a problem. The next step to take would be to take the honest route. If someone is leading you on, it’s probably unintentional.
What is probably happening is that he or she is too nervous to tell you how they actually feel, so he or she is trying to avoid the situation. What the best thing to do would be to straight up ask them how they feel. This is the best way to get an honest result, and will either confirm your suspicion of them being not into you, or alleviate your fears.
If you feel like this person IS actually leading you on, the best thing to do is to deprive them or your attention. The only reason they feel like they can string you on is that you continue to give them attention, no? If you shut off communication with them, they will stop viewing you as someone who will always like them and will see that they can’t string you on the way that previously may have done. As soon as you stop giving them your attention, that’s exactly when they want it most- make them miss you! If you seemingly put no effort into the connection between you two, he or she will either realize you’ve moved on, or will come forward and take the relationship to a new level.
Sincerely,
Sally

It’s easy to get lead on if you get involved with someone who has different intentions than you do. It’s not uncommon that one person will be looking for something casual, while the other one wants something more serious. And if you think you’re in a similar situation, and that someone is leading you on, you have to be upfront and ask them about it. Don’t be aggressive or accusing, just ask them. More than likely they will give you a straight answer. If you’re in this situation, the longer you let it go the more hurt you will be in the end. So if you are going to confront someone about this, I suggest you do it sooner than later.
No one wants to be in this position, but it is not unlikely that you will be at some point. Maybe the person you are involved with seemed like they had good intentions at first, but are really just screwing you over. Or maybe you have a history of poor choices when it comes to guys or girls. Whatever the case may be, do something about it instead of sitting around and waiting for something to happen, because that’s the worst thing you could do in this situation.
Sincerely,
Steve
