In this episode of Miracles Online, Jeff and Kat unpack a modern dating behavior many people experience—but few can clearly name: breadcrumbing.
Breadcrumbing is when someone offers just enough attention, flirtation, or communication to keep you emotionally engaged—without any real intention of moving the relationship forward. It’s not ghosting. It’s more subtle, more confusing, and often more emotionally draining.
Jeff and Kat break down:
-
What breadcrumbing actually looks like in real life
-
How it’s different from ghosting
-
The psychological reasons people breadcrumb (ego, fear of intimacy, loneliness, control)
-
Why breadcrumbing is not about you—and never a reflection of your worth
-
The warning signs and repeating patterns to watch for
-
How breadcrumbing creates “digital relationships” that never become real
-
How to respond with clarity, emotional maturity, and self-respect
They also explore how breadcrumbing can activate old wounds—especially abandonment patterns—and why listening to your inner wisdom is essential when dating online.
This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt confused by mixed signals, stuck in endless messaging with no progress, or emotionally drained by someone who keeps resurfacing just enough to keep you hooked.
Real love is consistent.
Real interest shows up.
And breadcrumbs are not a meal.
