7 Guys Reveal Why They Text Women Out Of The Blue

Breadcrumbing is a recently-coined term used to describe a crappy, age-old dating behavior: In case you’re unfamiliar, Urban Dictionary describes it as, “sending out flirtatious but non-committal text messages in order to lure a sexual partner without expending much effort.” 

Basically, these texts serve as breadcrumbs, which are normally tossed to birds and animals to draw them in closer. Except in this case, the bird is an ex, a fling, or even a random Tinder match. 

While lots of people are guilty of this newfangled dating behavior (myself included), we decided to ask guys why they’ve texted the ladies of their past out of the blue. As you’ll find, some men are genuine in their efforts to rekindle the flame while others, well, they’re just looking to get laid. 

Hear them out.
