According
from the explanation of an Urban dictionary, breadcrumbing means “sending out
flirtatious but non-committal text messages in order to lure a sexual partner
without expending much effort,” as quoted by the pulse.ng online.
Of course, there
are other explanations about this term and it is important to learn the reasons
on how to deal with people who have this kind of mentality or mindset. Remember
that with the advent of the Internet and the existence of the different social
media networking websites, many are engaging themselves to various web-based
activities such as dating or flirting.
Breadcrumbing
always happens online and majority of the involved people are men who target
women with soft or weak personality. Meaning, these women easily fall in love
even when they communicate through flirty text messages or calls.
In most
cases, a man who is a breadcrumber knows how to manipulate a woman to continue
their affection even if he is not does not make text messages or calls
constantly. This man has the capacity to keep a woman hanging or expecting
something always after the message or call. Usually, he will do this kind of
approach at least a week after the first meeting and throwing some false yet
convincing messages like “I miss you so much” or “ I want to be with you
again.”
According to
the shared information about a breadcrumbed person through pulse.ng, the
enticement happens because of the following reasons:
- When the person feels guilty about treating a woman
- When feeling horny and need a sex partner
- When feeling alone or lonely
- When planning to have a new love affair with a woman
- When he misses the girl or woman already
- When attempting to renew their friendship
- When a man decides to search for a friend with benefits
Based on the
observation of an article published in New York Times also, a person with
breadcrumb attitude is the one who creates nonsense communications. The only
interest is to force a woman to show interest and believe that something will
happen later on if they continue to communicate with each other.
As expect, the result of breadcrumbing does not change because the woman remains the victim and get disappointed because the cycle of the relationship is constant and confusing. There is always hope and attraction, yet it will not materialize because the attitude of the man towards the woman is not serious at all.
