/Sounds like the English word "breadcrumbing" (same pronunciation)/

Meaning

Giving minimal signs of interest to keep someone hooked without any real intention of getting serious. Emotional breadcrumbs: a like here, a random message there, just enough so they don't forget you but never enough to move forward.

Examples

He's breadcrumbing me with likes and emojis but never actually plans anything.

Breadcrumbing is worse than ghosting.

Regional synonyms

In Spain, to be the absolute best, exceptional and a little eccentric at the same time. It takes "ser la pera" (already a strong compliment) one level further. When something is la pera limonera, it is not just great, it is singular and unforgettable.
