Why do guys lead girls on?

well first thing that comes to mind is the question why do girls lead guys on? its a two way street, ya know?

umm, yeah I do agree with you on the fact that it seems likes it pointless to do, and that its def. a waste of time, but I think you're missing the point of a positive thing being that, I think sometimes it just feels good to be "wanted" ya know?, you just want to be able to feel that tingly feeling inside and have your heart race faster because you like that person, yeah he may be stringing you along, but doesn't feel good to have that feeling. I know I dated a girl in high school, she didn't have the looks or the personality, but I still dated her because I wanted to say I went through high school having a gf.

Guys could lead you on for several reasons:

-They're juggling several girls at once, and want you as a backup.
-They're playing with you for fun, but they don't really want to date you.
-They're not actually leading you on, and you're reading into things.

With the first 2 possibilities, it means the guy is insensitive and doesn't care about how his behavior might make you feel.
