Willoughby (n.) — A man who leads a woman to believe he loves her through his words and deeds, fully aware of the impression he is giving, only to downplay everything when she confesses her feelings for him — Claiming they were “just friends”.

Based on John Willoughby, the charming yet deceitful suitor in Sense & Sensibility by Jane Austen.

“How could he lead her on like that? He’s such a Willoughby”
