Someone who knows what you want, but gives you only enough to keep you thinking they might give it to you, without fulfilling your desires.

Originally, this was of a sexual nature, usually meaning a woman who dressed provocatively, but then would not go out or have sex with the men she was attracting.

Today, a tease can be anyone who leads others on.

Get the tease mug.
A sexy woman who will playfully flirt with you but never anything more. Upon asking she was never flirting in the first place and is oblivious to the chances she had on your blood flow. She knows, you know she knows, and she will continue; but never anything more.

She will remove her shirt but never her bra. Her pants but never that thong. She runs in your mind all day long, a dangerous woman who won't let you go far.
Dude! That girl's such a tease. You'll never get anywhere chasing after her!

Though commonly used to describe a member of the opposite sex, "tease" can also apply to members of the same sex, in the case of homosexuality or weekly drunken bisexuality.

A tease is

(A) someone who either offers to engage in affectionate behavior with you, such as making out, and then denies you the privilege of doing so, or

(B) someone who only gives you a small fraction of what you actually want from them, such as a kiss when you are dying to make out with them. A tease may even go so far as to kick you out of the room, and in extreme cases, he or she will then proceed to have affectionate relations with someone else, torturing you even more. Other scenarios may also include promising--and subsequently denying to provide--a raincheck.

It is vital that this definition be used as the one and only definition of a tease, as looking the word up in dictionaries and on Google will often provide a two-word answer: Paige Duckworth.
