A guy who is breaking his promises is leading you on.

A pattern of not following through on his promises is a telltale sign he isn’t genuinely into you.

He tells you what you want to hear in reference to future plans, knowing full well that doing so would keep you temporarily satisfied.

This buys him more time to keep getting what he wants out of you.

Whatever that is.

Whether it be physical intimacy, attention, affection, etc.

Whatever it is, he is getting it during these periods where you are patiently waiting, anticipating a promise being kept.

But too much time goes by, and he is yet to fulfill his promise.

This is when you know he has been leading you on the whole time.

A guy who is just leading you on is full of lies.

He tells you about plans for the future he has for the two of you as a couple.

The plans are a combination of short-term and long-term goals.

He promises to take you on a vacation or a trip as a short-term plan but doesn’t deliver when the time arrives.

He promises to marry you as a long-term plan but doesn’t deliver in buying an engagement ring.

This is clearly a guy who is leading you on.

He makes these promises to keep you satiated and buy time.

Besides short- and long-term plans, he doesn’t do all that much to keep courting you.

Every now and then, he takes you out on a date, but it isn’t consistent.

Most times, he has you hang out with him at home.

While there, he can be affectionate and tell you how much he loves you, but this is primarily to keep you from complaining about the lack of dates.

You feel good about the words of affection because they are reassuring.

Nevertheless, his actions rarely back up those words.

It’s as though he loves your company for the convenience of it but doesn’t want to make the financial investment to prove his words of affection are genuine.

This is a guy who is leading you on.

A guy who is genuinely into you makes short-term and long-term plans he intends to keep.

He takes you on that vacation and buys you that engagement ring when the time arrives.

The relationship is active and healthy.

Rather than having you spend every weekend hanging out at his place or him at yours, he is taking you out on well-planned-out dates.

This is thoughtfulness and financial investment.

A guy who does this is genuinely into you.

He wants you to see how much he cares about making you happy, not only in the affectionate words he uses, but also in his actions as well.

Furthermore, he is not delaying the opportunity to meet members of your family.

Unlike a guy who is leading you that keeps delaying the opportunity to meet and get to know members of your family, he is excited at the prospect of meeting them.

He knows they are people who matter to you, and in turn, they matter to him too.
