Honey Trap, maybe?

I've been here too long. Regretting choosing this screenname ten years ago.

It's sort of The Tease, except usually she doesn't give them even that much. She's pretty and they all enjoy their fantasy they have a chance with her (they don't), so she can string them along more or less effortlessly.

It's heavily implied that this would never work except that her suitors are... kinda dumb. She usually has the audience's sympathy, since everyone can see she won't give the boys a thing, hasn't actually promised them a thing, and they can always walk away — but they still worship her because she might promise them something.
