dating text patterns worth noticing

Six familiar patterns — love bombing, breadcrumbing, future faking, hot-and-cold texting, the slow fade, and boundary pressure — explained without turning one weird message into a diagnosis.

Includes fictional text exchanges, a context check for every pattern, questions to ask yourself, and links to relationship-safety sources.
