Breadcrumbing is a colloquial term used to characterize the practice of sporadically feigning interest in another person in order to keep them interested, despite a true lack of investment in the relationship.[1] It is regarded as a type of manipulation and can be either deliberate or unintentional. Breadcrumbing can occur in familial relationships, friendships, and the workplace, but it is more prevalent in romantic contexts, particularly with the surge of online dating. In this digital landscape, it becomes easier to provide brief spurts of affection, but, when it is suggested that they meet, the question is avoided.[2][3]
