Transactional Breadcrumbing 

When someone initiates the relationship with a ‘transaction’s by giving a bare minimum gift, but asks you to give something in return later.

The ‘breadcrumbs’ are inconsistent engagement with the developing relationship, while they are relying on you to commit to their task.
I don’t know why he keeps telling me he’s going to buy me a Burkin, and never does it? He paid for lunch on our date, and our plans keep falling through or something changes. I think he’s doing that transactional breadcrumbing.

Bread Crumbing

Also known as "Hansel and Gretelling"

When a guy or girl gives someone just enough attention to keep their hope of a relationship alive.

First coined by Grazzz 2014
"He keeps texting me but doesn't want to set up a time to see me."
"Yo girl he's bread crumbing you"

Solitary bedcrumbing 

The act of sitting on the end of a bed in a budget hotel chain consuming a low cost self-made meal from a corner shop whilst away alone on business. Eaten in a partial state of undress, due to an aborted attempt of getting changed after work, the meal, usually consisting of a loaf of bread and some processed cheese prepared by hand with no utensils, can be washed down with a bottle screw-cap wine whilst watching television followed by a savoury dessert, usually a whole tube of Pringles. After waking depressed in the morning, surrounded by food wrappers, food crumbs need brushing from your bed/face/body.
IT Contractor: This is so depressing, I could be out looking for a dubious lady (see pea-wet ), and this bread is stale.

TV: In news today, a missing cat reappeared after 30 days…

IT Contractor: Man, I’ve hit a low, and there are crumbs everywhere.

Next day:

Colleague: Good evening last night?

IT Contractor: Yeah, went out for a few drinks and made some new friends

IT Contactor (to self): Oh man, I was solitary bedcrumbing but can’t even admit it to myself, let alone anyone else.
