Most people don't seek to 'string other's along,' certainly not on purpose, and often have no clue they're doing it.
Oh, don't kid yourself, a great many people do these things with absolute awareness and intent. Some may do it because they don't want to hurt someone's feelings, but 'keeping someone as a backup' happens quite frequently and I've heard people flat out admit that they were doing it. There are cons artist of every stripe and level, stringing others along for all sorts of reasons. Believing it's always an unintentional accident is just naive.
yeah, I can't remember the exact statistic but about 10 or 20 percent of the population are supposed to be sociopaths.
