When the “crush” has no intentions of taking things further, but they like the attention. So they flirt here or there, send dm/texts just to keep the person interested, knowing damn well they’re staying single.
Danielle was so flirty the other night, he messaged me 3 times just to say hello, I think he’s coming around.

No Susan he’s breadcrumbing you just so you’ll keep nibbling at his heels.

A complicationship is when two people want to be in a relationship, act in ways that are indicative of a relationship, but still have separate life issues that prevent an actual relationship from occurring. This can be between two people who have never been in a relationship, or if the two were previously in a relationship, and are trying to potentially revisit it.
