To jive around means to tease, mess with, or play games with someone — stringing them along without being straight with them. It's a dated bit of American slang rooted in the jazz-era use of "jive" to mean nonsense or deceptive talk. When you jive around with someone, you're not taking them seriously, giving them the runaround, or goofing with their head. The phrasing feels mid-20th century but still communicates perfectly.
