Didn’t mean to lead you on

Have you ever inadvertently given someone the message you were interested in them? Perhaps you were being friendly or slightly flirty. Maybe you were just being nice and they considered it as an open invitation. What do you do when someone thinks you are into them but you are really not interested?

When this happened to a friend of mine, she had a hard time letting the guy know the truth. She kept a pretense up way longer than I could have because she knew it would be rejection. I think getting it over with quickly is the most humane thing to do. No sense in waiting till your wedding day to come clean!

Have you ever accidentally lead someone on? What is the best way to tell them they misread your signals?
