What is the actual point of breadcrumbing someone for a long period of time?

This is just another term that has been named by a Female of a common practice in the very early stages of a Relationship, Girls do it as a Flirting Tactic but Guys only do it when a Girl is interested in them but He is not that Interested in Her.

I think women do it because they feel empowered by keeping guys on a string. I don't really get it either.

For the guy…nothing to lose.
for the girl… everything. Hope, sadness, no self worth… how long does the girl want to stay feeling that way?

[midnightmoon05]

Ha… blocked me. Means you don’t want to learn yiur lesson.

He doesn't seem interested and respects you enough. A guy usually makes it obvious when they like you.

[midnightmoon05]

Exactly… and they won’t just want sex.

[barn_stormer]

it's because they don't want a serious relationship with you because you're not good enough for that. they only want casual sex and are playing games to get it.

[Asker]

How long would someone play games with a person to get sex? Or is it really irrelevant and can go on for years?

[barn_stormer]

I assume they'd get bored eventually if no sex was had

[Asker]

Can you, please, clarify 'eventually' in a time-frame, as I am confused on that?

Thanks again.

[barn_stormer]

I can't because it varies by person. I would get bored in matter of days or weeks at most

[Asker]

Ah, then if it lasts for longer it must be some kind of a power trip, manipulation to make themselves feel desirable. Okay, thank you for clearing it up for me!

[barn_stormer]

if lasts longer, then they're just weird. np.

[midnightmoon05]

Free sex can last forever if one lets it…. till she says NO and stands up to herself.

[Barbievan]

It can absolutely go on for years if you let it (from personal experience)

[Barbievan]

Keeping them for later as a just incase...

[ProbablyClueless]

The person is just enjoying the attention.
