Is he breadcrumbing me?

Breadcrumbing is when someone keeps you interested with just enough contact (texts, reactions, the occasional flirty message) without ever moving toward real plans or commitment. It is one of the most common patterns in modern dating, and one of the hardest to see from inside it.
What breadcrumbing looks like
He texts you good morning a few times a week. He likes your stories. He sends a flirty message at midnight on a Saturday. But somehow you have not actually been on a date in three weeks. When you suggest plans, he is busy. When you stop reaching out, he comes back with a single text just as you are about to move on.
It is constant contact with no follow-through. It is interest without action. It is the bare minimum dressed up as connection.
How Spilled catches it
Spilled is a private journal where you log what actually happens. Texts. Plans (made or cancelled). Calls. Dates. The little things you would tell your group chat.
Once you have logged enough entries, Spilled does the math. If your contact-to-plans ratio is way out of balance (lots of texts, very few real meetups), the breadcrumbing flag fires. You see it as a pattern card with evidence (like "12 contact events, 1 actual plan in 30 days"). It is not a vibe. It is the actual data.
Pro users can tap the flag to get a personalized written read on what your specific data is showing. Not generic dating advice. Your situation, in plain language.
Why you cannot always see it from inside
Breadcrumbing works because the breadcrumbs feel like proof of interest. Each text feels like he is still there. Each reaction feels like he is paying attention. The problem is what is missing in between.
When you stack 30 days of entries and the ratio of words to actions is 20:1, the picture changes. That is what Spilled does. Not opinion. Math you can see.
See if the pattern is real.

Questions, answered
How fast does the breadcrumbing flag fire?
Usually within a few weeks of consistent logging. The flag needs enough entries to see the pattern (lots of contact, few actual plans). Three weeks of regular logging is usually plenty.
What if he is actually busy?
Real busy looks different from breadcrumbing. Busy people do not text constantly while never making plans. They go quiet for stretches and then come back with effort. Spilled distinguishes between the two patterns automatically.
Is breadcrumbing always intentional?
Not always. Some people breadcrumb without realizing it. They keep you interested because they are interested, but they are not ready to commit, or they are seeing other people. Spilled does not diagnose his intentions. It just shows you the pattern. What you do with that information is yours.
Can I track this without writing my own journal entries?
No. Spilled needs your input to work. The whole point is that it is YOUR data, not a generic algorithm guessing at what is happening.
