Breadcrumbing in dating is when a man gives you just enough attention-- texts you just enough, checks up on you with random "I miss you" or flirty compliments- to keep you open. Men today juggle multiple women, so their agenda isn't to lock you down. It's to keep you on the team as an option. You're not dumb, so that's where breadcrumbing comes in. Dudes will pour it on hard, be vulnerable, make plans, even go big on a few dates-- then crickets. They fall back, knowing that they've done enough love bombing to win you over.

A man's goal is to keep you emotionally invested without moving this relationship toward an actual commitment. Here's the crazy thing about Breadcrumbing: It doesn't feel CASUAL. It doesn't feel like a situationship or a "friends with benefits" arrangement. The way these men talk to you feels like he's in love. The way these men act around you feels like he's pressed to be with you-- but it's all GAME.

"Send her flowers. Share secrets about my childhood. Keep telling her how different she is and how I'll never hurt her... then I'll go missing and watch her crumble. Now I know for a FACT she needs me way more than I need her. I control this woman." - The Male Playbook

In every book I've written, I've laid out how men think, but you still get caught up with fake-deep treatment and think "he's not like that," so on today's show, I'm going to spill all the secrets...

Undestand that the first six weeks of dating are ALL CAP. The most common signs you’re being breadcrumbed are hot-and-cold communication, always canceling plans at the last minute, ghosting for days or even a week, and then popping back out when you send angry texts or post something new on social media.
