The way I see it, the guy doesn't realise he's leading her on, he thinks he's just being friendly, and she's just trying to push something that is never gonna happen. The first couple of lines really do it for, 'Hold my hand while you cut me down'. The guy's trying to be nice, not realising that it's the worst thing he could do to her.
I really like the line, 'I looked up and inside down and outside,' and not just because it flows really well. The list of places she searches reflects her repeated attempts to curry his favour, but to no avail.
