Have you experienced breadcrumbing in dating? In this video, learn the 4 red flags you’re being breadcrumbed and what to do about it.

What is breadcrumbing in dating? It’s when someone gives you just enough bits of attention to keep you interested or hooked into the relationship (or situationship) without any intention of really committing. It’s a tactic used to string somebody along. Unfortunately, many people don’t realize they’re being breadcrumbed until they’ve been hurt and deceived. To prevent this from happening to you, here are four red flags to look out for when dating.
4 Red Flags of Breadcrumbing in Modern Dating
- Red Flag #1: The person you’re interested in is less invested in getting together than you are. They make plans with you but cancel or don’t show up, and they seem too busy for you. They might even disappear for periods of time.
- Red Flag #2: You never know where you stand. Breadcrumbers are inconsistent and unpredictable in their expression of interest in you.
- Red Flag #3: They’re warm when you’re together but cold when you’re apart. They express interest in you when you’re together, tell you the things you want to hear, and want to be physically intimate. When you’re apart, they act much more distant.
- Red Flag #4: You’re confused about where you stand. Their inconsistent and intermittent attention leaves you confused and anxious about where you stand.
What to Do If You’ve Been Breadcrumbed
Don’t tolerate mistreatment from the people you date. Let the people you date know how you want to be treated. Speak up early on about what you need and want in a relationship. Look for someone who is willing to invest in a relationship.
If you believe you are being breadcrumbed before you even meet in person, unmatch on the app and block their phone number if you’ve been texting.
Work on increasing your self-esteem by engaging in activities that you excel at and by treating yourself kindly. Define what a healthy relationship looks and feels like you for you, and use those guidelines to help you seek out partners who are available and give you the attention and emotional investment you desire and deserve.
