"Breadcrumbing" is a type of manipulative behavior. Very useful concept to be aware of.
A quick overview:
The person you're interested in is less invested in getting together than you are. Breadcrumbers make plans with you but cancel or don't show up, and they seem too busy for you. They might even go absent for periods of time.
You never know where you stand with them. Breadcrumbers are sporadic, inconsistent, and unpredictable in their expression of interest in you.
They seem warm toward you but then turn cold. For instance, they take a long time to respond to your messages.
You can't understand or explain their actions. You are often left confused or frustrated after interacting with them.

Hark Triton, hark! Bellow, bid our father the Sea King rise from the depths full foul in his fury! Black waves teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs til' ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more - only when he, crowned in cockle shells with slitherin' tentacle tail and steaming beard take up his fell be-finned arm, his coral-tine trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet, bursting ye - a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now and nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself - forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea, for any stuff for part of Winslow, even any scantling of your soul is Winslow no more, but is now itself the sea!
