Frequently asked questions
3. Only Returns Calls when They Need Someone
Does your crush only call you when they need someone to talk to? When they need someone that is going to be there for them? Well girls and boys, that is definitely a top sign that you're bring strung along! If your crush really liked you, they'd be calling you to hang out, to see them, to really get to know them.
4. You Are the Last Minute Option
How about last minute plans? Does your crush constantly use you as their last minute resort, when everyone else is busy? That's definitely a sign that you're being strung along and that your crush isn't at all serious about you. You should be the first choice, not the last choice ladies and gents!
5. Constantly Refers to You as a Friend Only
How about when you two are together? Are you constantly being referred to as his friend? Just his friend? Are you never referred to as his boyfriend or girlfriend? Or even a close friend? That's another sign that you've got to watch out for when you have a feeling that you're being led on.
6. It's Never a Date when You Two Hang out
How many actual dates have you gone on with your crush? Have you ever gone on any? Is it really a date? These are things that you're going to have to think about when you are investigating whether or not you're being led on. If your crush will never, ever give out, whether or not it's a date between the two of you, that's a sign that you could be led on.
7. Constantly Dating Other People
Finally, the last thing that you've got to watch out for is your crush constantly dating other people and flaunting them in front of you. It means that they want you to know that they are free to do whatever they want and that no matter what, your feelings don't matter.
So girls and guys, these are just a few of my tips to tell whether or not you are being led on! I know it's hard to figure out, but hopefully these tips helped! So, what other tips do you have? Share 'em!

Chloe: I know exactly how this feels, unfortunately. Too bad I had to realize this two years after the fact.
laravenclaw: I must admit that I feel a little silly about commenting on one of these... But an impartial third party would definitely help. I am a high school/college student with a little bit of dating under my belt. I haven't dated in two years, though- my last relationship ended in an absolutely horrid manner and I have been reluctant to trust anybody since. He is a college freshman (a complete nerd, like me) with absolutely no dating under his belt. We met at work in September and I quickly developed feelings for him. This was a surprise for me. So, anyways... We started going to movies and stuff (in groups and alone), but I always initiated these outings. As he went to high school with my friend, I knew quite a bit of his background and assumed it was because he was shy with girls. So, last Friday night I revealed to him (using a flip book) that I "was wondering if he go on a date with me?") He smiled the entire time I presented the flip book, and said that he "would love to go on a date with me." He confirmed that it would be his first. (I FEEL LIKE I'M WRITING A BOOK FOR YOU GUYS- please be patient with me). So we arranged to go to Thor on Sunday at 7. We're both comic nuts. We talked in the parking lot for around 30 minutes after the movie and he asked if he could kiss me. And I, of course, said yes. So we kissed once. It was his first kiss. It was chaste. But super sweet. Afterwards, I texted him. I told him I had an amazing time and he said that there would be a second date. But when I texted him on Thursday, asking him if he would be able to do something over the weekend, he didn't even respond. I mean, I wouldn't have been angry had he said no. But it does bother me that he doesn't seem to deem me worthy of a response. And on Friday, at work, he treated me in the same way he always does (which isn't bad) but didn't even seem to acknowledge that I had sent the message or even that the date had even occurred. I really don't want to seem overly clingy.... But I have never put my heart out on the line like I did before... And to be honest, I kind of regret it because I now feel ridiculously vulnerable. I keep thinking it could be because of my body (I'm 5'6 and weigh 171 pounds, so I'm kind of fat) and he's ridiculously skinny (he's probably 5'10 and he once told me he weighs 170)... But anyways, we don't look that awkward together. I mean, I'm losing weight and since he's taller than me, I don't look like a giant next to him. I've rambled long enough. To the point- Has he already lost interest? Was he never interested? I know you haven't met him, but... I tried to be as thorough as possible. PS- please don't sugarcoat it. If the information that I have given indicates that he doesn't want me, then please tell me.
Shannon: That's my life right now
