I have done some things in the past when I was young, that I kinda wish I hadn't know...mostly, probably because I was young and truly didn't know what I wanted :-( But now I am older and (errrmm) wiser I tend to wear my heart on my sleave and say what I think (I have been told I am a bit 'straight to the point...') But who cares, you're a long time dead! Haha.Of course some people just enjoy minds games/attention... without knowing more, it's kinda hard to tell?:-)

 Both genders do it and in all age groups.Usually it happens with a person who can not be satisfied with what they have.They are afraid that the person they are with is as good as they will get, but they do not want to give them up until something BETTER comes along. Some people stay with a person UNTIL they get a better offer, regardless of how wonderful the person they are with is. If the new person offers something "better" they really want..they just go for it.Best Wishes.

 a girl will only string a man along for as long as he lets her do it. the girl in question maybe has a bit of low self esteem going on and it makes her feel more secure to have the ex as a back up plan for if the new rship doesn't work out, she probably also gets a bit of a kick out of the new guy knowing that she has an ex still interested in her, it keeps on his toes if he knows he has competition.
if this question is about a particular girl though, are you sure that what you see as 'stringing along' is not simply 'remaining friends'?? or is she obviously making the ex feel he has got a chance of getting her back?
