Breadcrumb dating: that's behind the term

Breadcrumbing - it is again one of those dating terms that crop up all of a sudden. In this article we have summarized what is behind it for you.

Breadcrumb dating - a new term for holding back

The term "breadcrumb" comes from the English and means "breadcrumbs". That is, whoever flirts that way, sprinkles bread crumbs.

• The process is very simple: from time to time you meet. The idea arises that a relationship could develop. And as if out of the blue sky, the stray person no longer reports and thus leaves everything open. However, breadcrumbing differs from benching - also a dating term that we explain in another post.
• Then suddenly, also out of the blue, "just thinking of you ..." on the phone or a liked new profile picture in Facebook. That brings hope or at least memories. And so the breadcrumber sprinkles crumbs after crumbs.
• Hope is alive, although there is no real attempt to establish contact, but rather a simple way of remembering. As suddenly as the "friend" appears, he disappears again. There is no real interest in a relationship in breadcrumbing.
• Breadcrumbing is a new element in the dating area. Actually it is rather a very bad way of dealing with the other person. The few bread crumbs thrown in for the other are meant to arouse and delay interest.
• So if you are looking for a firm bond, it is best to quickly look for space or confront the breadcrumber with it. This saves you a lot of emotion, which is used in the wrong place and possibly associated frustration and annoyance.
