Have you ever lead someone on, unintentionally or intentionally? And how did you feel about it?

Have you ever lead someone on, unintentionally or intentionally? And how did you feel about it?

[young_old_soul]

I have unknowingly a few times. It took me a while to realize that being emotionally unavailable and hard to get (note: this is NOT the same as PLAYING hard to get) somehow makes you more attractive to some women. I've had a few pursue me that way even though I tried to politely show I wasn't interested.

[Slim57]

I've never lead someone on intentionally but have on accident a couple times, I let them down pretty easily without hurting any feelings, I've been lead on intentionally a million times though

[lumos]

No. I've been led on and I know how much it sucks, I'd never want to do that to another person. I'm very self-aware and rarely do I do things without realizing the consequences of my actions, hence I'd never do it intentionally or unintentionally.

You do things based on how you feel about yourself.

[Asker]

As in, you lead people on if you're self-conscious or the opposite?

[Opinion Owner]

Well I'd say that you don't usually put on negative actions consciously. They are just a reflection of how you feel inside and who you are at the moment.

[StingRayxoxo]

Never intentionally. When it happened unintentionally, I felt horrible after.

A couple weeks ago a girl I knew started flirting very obviously with me over text. She's a good friend, and I didn't want to seem rude, so I flirted back even though I didn't really like her in that way. She asked me out a couple days later, and I realized that it was worse saying "no" to her when I had led her on then it would have been if I'd just been honest about my feelings (or lack thereof) towards her in the first place.

[Asker]

Sometimes it's hard to know what to do in those situations =/

[Mango19]

yes agreed

[Just_a_human]

This dude at work thought I was interested in him because I waved at him. I only waved at him because he was staring. I was just trying to be friendly.
I don't know if that's considered leading someone on or not

[Asker]

I don't think so, if it was we'd all be flirting every time we said hi to someone! Aha

[Just_a_human]

In my experience, a "hi" is all it takes. It's one of the reasons why I don't talk to males.

[Asker]

You shouldn't let some bad experiences put you off talking to guys, we're not all bad =]

[Just_a_human]

Too late 😂

[Hamsteroids]

Nope never. I’ve been led on before and that feelings pretty terrible. Messing around with someone’s feelings is not my thing

[Asker]

I feel you =[

[Drumlin2001]

Maybe. Not sure. I was vety late bloomer. Shyed away from getting involved with women. There were a few i became very close to without things progressing beyond friendship. Not sure what tbey thought was happening, but i wasn't in head space to pursue anything.

[Anonymous]

I have never been lead on because I am very cautious about people. Not easily trusting of intentions.

I did unintentionally lead a girl on before in the past during my teenage years. I was just super nice but she took it as me wanting to take her out on dates. Didn't feel overly bad but she got over it.

[alohaahyes]

Yes, when i was younger, this older man slid into my dm's and we talked (flirting) for some weeks. It was intentional. I felt no remorse. I was not into it.

[Anonymous]

Iv lead someone on intentionally because I just wanted that feeling of being desired. I used him as a rebound after a serious relationship of mine ended. I don't feel bad about it because he wasn't actually a nice guy either at that time

[Jaysonava]

Yeah. I was only young. I didn't have much confidence. I hadn't figured myself out

[Asker]

We've all been there =]

[Jaysonava]

I honestly thought i was good loking and maybe could do better lol

[Izumiblu]

Yes I have intentionally one time to get a player away from my friend. I don’t regret it even a little

[GraveDoll]

I feel a bit bad. I am very cautious about how I come off to people. I like to avoid this scenario as much as possible.

[Anonymous]

I have lead someone on unintentionally, and I felt quite bad about it.

[Asker]

What did you do when you found out?

[Opinion Owner]

Asker: I told her I was sorry for giving her the wrong impression.

[ITGirl95]

I'm always straight with people to avoid such conflicts especially when my insticts tell me that someone may be interested in me.

[htownmama]

Both unintentionally and intentionally. Both ways I felt pretty uncomfortable afterwards

[MannMitAntworten]

I am absolutely dead set against misleading someone. I never have done it intentionally or inadvertently.

[Anonymous]

Yes. Guilty. But it was because i was desperate to say and show i have a boyfriend. Pathetic i know lol

[frerardsprincess]

I’ve unintentionally lead people on but never really cared too much about it

[No_Archons]

I kind of did? I told her I wouldn't date her, but somehow that wasn't clear...

[TheBootyChest]

I lead one girl on. I didn't care at the time.

[Asker]

Do you care now?

[TheBootyChest]

I care enough to not do it again. But I don't care about her anymore.

[Asker]

That makes sense =]

[Ordinarygurl_]

I don't think so but it has happened to me though
