I see people “being led on” a lot and I wonder, what are some actual signs of leading someone on in a relationship?

My 2 yr relationship with my GF is very good, I’m just curious because I do hear the phrase a lot without knowing the literal signs of it.

I also may have been “led on” before by exes.

    Assuming you mean in the beginning stages of dating or a flirty friendship? Small things like laughing at your stupid jokes, making you feel like yall are on a team and stick up for each other. Also making you feel like they MAKE time for you. Random acts of kindness. It should feel like a partnership and not one sided.

    In my experience, when those things start fading, it’s done.

      I think I am leading her on, then. I stopped giving her gifts or showing her affection and stopped texting her as much but I still want to be in a relationship with her. I keep her along as my girlfriend but I admittedly don’t do much, I don’t kiss her.
