Like the foid will give you small hints of validation but little romantic interest
Breadcrumbing, also called Hansel and Grettelling,[1] is the practice of sporadically feigning interest in another person in order to keep them interested, despite a true lack of investment in the relationship.[2] 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.
Breadcrumbing is an antisocial dating behavior, similar to ghosting.[3] It is referred to by this name because it involves giving a romantic interest a trail of "breadcrumbs," small bits of intermittent communication, to keep them interested without committing to a serious relationship.[4] This is intended to give the 'breadcrumbee" (the receiver) false hope[5] so that they will remain invested. Breadcrumbs might include randomly liking posts or sending flirtatious messages and require little effort from the "breadcrumber" (the sender),[4] and will often involve a demonstration and then withdrawal of interest.[5]
