Fool by promises (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

string along

(Other definitions for string along that I've seen before include "fool" , "Mislead (someone) over a period of time" , "Appear to be in agreement with" , "Over time, deceive" , "Co-operate - give someone false expectations" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
