Get along
string along
To give somenone false hopes or to make someone believe her/him you are head over heels for that person when you know for a fact you don't give a damn about it, but you keep it under wraps because you're either scared of hurting her/his feelings or you don't wanna be alone. Sometimes that guy or girl winds up marrying someone else (not always but happens)
Example:
string along:
John: Mary has really become a pain in the ass, but I don't wanna dump her. I'm so adapted to her company.
Sean: you're a fucking wimp, you should break up, you always string girls along!!!
John: after I hit on Monica!

Tag-along
A person who follows around another particular group of friends (a "clique") but does not really interact with them. This person tries to be friends with the group, but due to any number of things, the person has nothing to share with the group or anything to add to the conversation. This creates an incredibly awkward situation where the group wants him to go away, but says nothing, and the person feels he does not belong, but doesn't want to just leave.
Therefore, the person decides to stick with the people and hope for the best. He hangs on the edge of the group and follows them from time to time, becoming a "tag-along"

John: Yeah, Mike is such a Tag-along.

Example:
We don't get along very well after our last fight.

stringing along
The act of dragging out a relationship with someone while having dishonest intentions. This can be applied to friendships or dating. The person stringing along the victim usually is getting something selfish or one-sided out of the situation such as sex, money or attention from others. This usually ends poorly for the person being strung along. The victim is sometimes aware of the situation but does not break the cycle due to them being a tool, insecure, spineless or gaining something less from the relationship such as not being completely alone even though they are being used. People performing this act are usually Chav's.
Example:
"You still dating Janet?" "Yeah I'm going to string her along until the sex runs out." or "I'm going to keep stringing along that married guy until he stops spending money on me or his wife finds out."
