Read More »You've probably heard of "ghosting" and "gaslighting"—two dating terms in the mainstream lexicon due to the prevalence of dating apps like Tinder and Bumble. But what about "breadcrumbing?" What Is Breadcrumbing? Breadcrumbing is the act of sending out flirtatious, but non-committal social signals (i.e. "breadcrumbs") in order to lure a romantic partner in without expending much effort. In other words, it's leading someone on. To gain insight into the latest phenomenon in modern dating, we asked Kelly Campbell, Ph.D., an associate professor of psychology and human development at California State University, San Bernardino, to weigh in. Meet the Expert Kelly Campbell, Ph.D., is a Professor of Psychology at California State University, San Bernardino. Her research examines instant connections among friends and romantic partners, how being in love helps and/or hinders performance across domains (e.g., athletics, creativity), infidelity, and catfishing (online romantic deception). According to Campbell, breadcrumbing "is leading someone on romantically using online or electronic forums (think: social media or texting) to keep someone's interest in you, even if you never intend to become romantically involved with them." It's essentially an emotionally manipulative tactic designed to make someone dependent on you (or vice versa, depending on the relationship dynamic). Ahead Campbell breaks down the psychology behind breadcrumbing in relationships, including the red flags to watch out for, the reasoning behind the manipulative behavior, and how to navigate the next steps.

"They don't feel comfortable or confident unless they get constant reassurance from others that they are worthy or valuable," says Campbell. "They don't feel comfortable or confident unless they get constant reassurance from others that they are worthy or valuable," says Campbell. They're narcissistic. "Often, these individuals have a personality characterized by narcissism as well as a game-playing, shallow approach to relationships," she observes. "They don't feel guilty about manipulating others and playing with people's emotions." "Often, these individuals have a personality characterized by narcissism as well as a game-playing, shallow approach to relationships," she observes. "They don't feel guilty about manipulating others and playing with people's emotions." They're already in a relationship. "Another reason this can happen is that they are already in a relationship with someone yet are still seeking attention from others," Campbell divulges. First and foremost, don't tolerate this behavior. "You set the example for how others should treat you, so don't tolerate poor treatment," Campbell explains. "You deserve someone who is willing to give you the same amount of attention you are willing to invest." Consider what your boundaries are and then take action: You'll likely want to unmatch this person on the app in question and block their phone number, if you've been in contact that way. Working on yourself is also a solution, says Campbell. You can augment your self-esteem by engaging in activities that you excel at and by treating yourself kindly. "Engage in self-care, use positive self-talk," Campbell advises. Another important self-esteem booster? Addressing the behavior in question—you can give the person an opportunity to change their behavior, and if they choose not to, you know not to take them seriously. Lastly, think about what it would mean for you to date someone is available. You can do this by defining what you feel you deserve in a healthy relationship; setting these guidelines for yourself will help you seek out partners who is a better match for what you are looking for.
