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.

Not really related, but this is one of the many reasons why I've never been able to be in a relationship. I don't feel that way about others, so faking it feels wrong to me. I went out with a guy a couple of times and felt gross doing that. So that's about it.

Sometimes it's frustrating that I can't have an intimate relationship with someone that way, but what can you do? Have to go through life with the cards you're dealt, I guess.

Hopefully you meet someone and it makes sense.

If not, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being happy with yourself.
