What's the difference between flirting and leading someone on?

Flirting is occasional love speak in sharing commonalities. Flirt is just random.

Leading someone on is making someone chase the wind. Just like if you were to bring someone to the point of they think their is a chance for a date when you have not intentions of following though. You are aware that the person feel or wants a certain way. But you never commit or you use them for your personal gain or pleasure. That is leading someone on. Or you make lead someone on for dating for a week and never do it.

Playing with someones emotions to fulfill your mental emotions is leading them on.

when you flirt, you're expressing interest while considering hooking up/going out/dating or whatever. If you're leading someone on, you know they like you but you don't want them, and you express fake interest either just cause you can or to get something from them.

Well, flirting becomes "leading someone on" when you reject the person you're flirting with. You made them feel they had a chance with you & then drop them like a hot potato! I recall how much that stung whenever I was single.

flirting leads one on.
Whether you do it purposely or unknowingly.
And this is why those who are natural flirts and they know it should learn to be aware of others' feelings or their own words/body language

Leading someone on is for a personal gain. Flirting is a potential relationship gain

Same thing. Once u flirt u are giving the other person hopes up. At least in my opinion

Flirting - Intention

Leading on - ILL intention
