leading man 

What da hotheaded and full-of-himself animal-trainer character Hynes viewed himself as when contemptuously walking Lassie and da rest of da Duke of Rudling's prized pets on a leash. After da equally-temperish-but-fairer-and-more-sensible-minded upper-crust squire finally "sacked" said "utter nincompoop" lackey, I'm assuming dat he then didn't think of himself as quite such an entitled charming expert in furry four-legged-creature husbandry.

Much as he hated to admit it, da Duke saw how much better of a "leading man" dat Sam Carraclough would make than da incompetent bungling Cockney whom he'd previously employed to look after his animals.

Leading someone on 

To use someone for love or manipulate their feelings for attention or other selfish reasons.

To persuade someone into believing something is not true. Most of the time, Love, attention, money or other things are the reason.

In some cases, the person who is leading the other on might be in a relationship. That is twice as bad. I am sorry.

Gabe: "Alexander was leading Katrina on for months and she didn't even know!"

Adrian: "Leading someone on is such a terrible thing to do. What's wrong with you?"
