There's nothing wrong with dating someone and enjoying their company, and finding out where a relationship is going to go. But as soon as someone is sure that the relationship is not going where the other person thinks or hopes that it is, I think that person has a responsibility to tell the other one clearly and honestly rather than doing it 5 years later. Why lead someone on, or allow them to deceive themselves by anything the other person is doing?

That's a pretty good post.
The only thing I'll add is that a lot of people practice self-deception after a relationship is over. They ignore or 'forget' everything that went into the final decision. An honest self evaluation is...difficult.
