- Description
-
This describes the act of sending out occasional but minimal flirtatious messages to keep someone interested without any intention of committing. It is a manipulative dating tactic used to maintain a 'backup' option while providing just enough attention to prevent the other person from moving on. The term highlights the emotional frustration of receiving 'crumbs' of affection rather than a real connection.
- Example
-
> I thought he liked me, but he's just breadcrumbing me with a text once every two weeks.
> Stop falling for his breadcrumbing; he has no intention of actually taking you on a date.
