I think that if someone is stringing you along, they are deliberately trying to make you feel confused and needy. They like that they can keep you on the back burner. I recently realised that the type of person who does this is controlling and manipulative.
I recently had a guy do that to me (plan dates but not follow through). I let him go, unplugged him from my energy field etc. I didnt question his behaviour - thats probably what he wanted. I ignored him right back.
Once he realised he didnt have a hold over me, he kept trying different tactics. They didnt work. I realise I dont need or want someone trying to play on my insecurities.
Obviously I dont know anything about your specific situation, but I think I'd forgive that kind of behaviour only if the person had a valid excuse for being flaky.
