Why do women lead men on when they have a Boyfriend and flirt with them?

I recently went through this yesterday. She always constantly giving my signs of flirtations and batted her eyelashes. Later that day, I found out she has a Boyfriend. So I'm like okay, whatever but it really sticks in my craw when they do this to men. Honestly, I don't think it's right. Mind you, this is only my own opinion of what I think. I definitely have had this happen before but it was at least 2 years ago. Maybe I should at least be thankful that I'm single, so that I shouldn't worry about it (which I'm no longer going to do).

everyone wants to feel desired, to know they still "have it". Maybe it's just innocent flirting and not intended to lead you on.

Fortunately, she did but I simply don't care anymore because I'm sick of doing all the work, even though, it's always the guy to make the first move.

@DutchGravitas: sorry to hear that's been your experience. Many women will make the first move. But you're right; both men and women have been conditioned vis-a-vis their roles in this respect, with men cast as the pursuers and women expected to be passive
