Benching, ghosting, breadcrumbing – there's a whole dictionary of terms in today's dating world! In this episode, we’ll discuss benching, where someone keeps you in a state of uncertainty; close enough to stay connected but far enough to leave you wondering about their true intentions. What is benching exactly? Imagine being a player on a sports team, but you're never allowed off the bench. In the world of dating, it's when someone keeps you around just enough to have you as a backup option but never really commits. Whether you suspect you've been benched, or you want to understand the complexities of the dating field, we’ve got you covered!
