Understanding Breadcrumbing: When Texts Don't Lead to Dates
The Situation
"He sends me random texts but never wants to hang out"
The Brutal Truth
He's sending you random texts to keep you 'interested' without any real intention of moving forward. This is classic breadcrumbing—enough to keep you hanging on but never enough to truly engage or commit. It's a shallow game of attention without genuine connection.
❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
An anxious person might overanalyze every text, creating excuses for his behavior and convincing themselves they're just not reading it right. This is dangerous because it leads to self-doubt and reinforces unhealthy patterns of chasing someone who isn't showing up for them.
💭 Something to Reflect On
What part of me believes I deserve only fractured communication instead of open, honest connection?
