Breadcrumbing

is when someone texts or calls on a sporadic basis, normally because they know you will respond.

They will seem to be pursuing you, but in reality have no intention of being tied down to a relationship.

They just like leaving you breadcrumbs, like a trail in Hansel and Gretel, to string you along.
