I like Hikari not just because she's cute but that she represent traditional Japanese values better than every other character.
Hikari did not string along Daisuke. Her cultural beliefs restricted her from explaining to him she wasn't interested. It would be rude of her to tell him she wanted to be just friends. The few times she flirted with Takeru were her attempts at getting Daisuke to get a clue about her feelings.
Hikari also doesn't like hurting others. She was willing to die at Vamdemon's hands to keep the people of Odaiba from suffering. It's this same trait that adds why she didn't tell Daisuke she didn't have serious feelings for him. Telling him would hurt him then and she'd see that hurt. So she didn't tell him and hoped it'd be easier on him if he just moved on.
Yes, in the long run that hurt Daisuke more, but it's a human mistake she made. It shows she's not 'little miss perfect,' which was a problem many people had with her appearance in Adventures Zero-One.
Though I still wonder at that, Hikari was rather blood thristy during Zero-One and wasn't squimish at all to kill digimon-- which a 'practically perfect in everyway' character would have qualms about killing the bosses, let alone henchmon. And Hikari evolved her digimon so she could help kill Bakemon shortly after offing Vamdemon.
