How do you ask if someone is leading you on?

Try the using the "mediating sandwich" method! Start by sharing your goal for the conversation, which is checking in and making sure that you're both on the same page. Mention what you like about them, and that you've enjoyed spending time with them. Then, ask direct questions, like "Do you like me romantically?" "Are you interested in spending more time with me romantically?" "Are you working toward something more serious?" and "What is your dating style or approach?" These four questions can help you decide if you're on the same page—they're also a great way to clear the air.
