Have you heard of the famous expression,
you have 'lead me up the garden path'?
It simply means that the person has not been
sincere with you or you may not have been
sincere with that person. For example,
sometimes if you feel you have been treated
unfairly  or someone has not told you the truth,
you can use the expression. It is popular to
use in personal relationships or any situations
where people mislead you. Some popular
misleading situations are: arranging a date
and your friend does not meet you.
Or when you are promised a promotion and
then you never get one.

Sincere=Truthful heart, using truthful and meaningful words
=誠実な、正直な
