| 0:00.0 | Hi everybody. Thanks again for tuning into my podcast. Today we're going to be talking about guys leading you on and I'm going to be answering the question, is he leading you on? And I'm going to tell you what to do if he is, in fact, leading you on. |
| 0:24.7 | So, first of all, this may come as a shock to you because you may have thought that this entire podcast episode was going to be about asshole guys leading you on. |
| 0:36.8 | But people almost never lead other people on. |
| 0:42.2 | And here's what I mean by that. You could be in a relationship with somebody for, let's say, |
| 0:48.3 | two years and then break up with them. That doesn't mean that you were leading them on for those two years just |
| 0:56.1 | because in the end you decided that it actually wasn't a good fit or you grew apart. And the same |
| 1:02.2 | thing applies if you're just starting to date somebody. If you've been dating somebody for |
| 1:07.3 | three months and then they decide they don't want to see you anymore. A reaction that a lot of us |
| 1:14.5 | can have is like anger and feeling like we were almost lied to or like they were leading us on. We think, |
| 1:23.0 | well, if they said they didn't want to date me anymore, they must have known that for longer. |
| 1:29.2 | The thing is, a lot of times when, like, putting ourselves in the shoes of the person who we |
| 1:35.1 | believe is leading us on, that person can have conflicting thoughts about us, about the relationship, |
| 1:42.2 | about your dating situation. And I remember personally, when I was |
| 1:47.8 | in a long-term relationship, it took me months before I could actually reach the decision that we |
| 1:53.7 | shouldn't be together anymore. And it wasn't that I was leading him on or like holding on to him |
| 2:00.4 | because I was scared. I just |
| 2:02.2 | really was unsure because a part of me really loved him and wanted to believe in our future |
| 2:08.8 | together and thought if maybe I should just work harder at it and that there was still |
| 2:15.6 | potential there. And then another part of me for a long time felt like |
| 2:20.4 | something just wasn't right and I just wasn't sure anymore. And I thought maybe it's time to move on. |
| 2:28.8 | Maybe our lives are moving in different directions. And I held both of those thoughts at the same time. So it wasn't, |
| 2:36.7 | it's usually not the case that it's like either or like either you're into me or you're not. |
