Love it. Makes me smile. A very good surprise last line, which defines a very good limerick from a not so good one. You can do really good work.

Past behavior predicts future behavior so if the person hasn't defined the relationship and made plans to seal the deal in 10 years, it probably will never happen. New generation, new terms, and same old games being played. LOL..Thanks for sharing this one with us and dropping by my page. Sara K

I feel like you just upskilled me to the present day! I had very vague knowledge about these terms... I've never done on and off dating but I presume it's exhausting eventually. A very unique limerick demonstrating your skill - looking very much like a podium place with this originality - very well done!

Thanks. I did not know bread crumbing but learned it while liking up love slang. This was so fun to write.

Woah, this is such a crisp and striking limerick! "Quit bread-crumbing" Yess, indeed that's so powerfully said.. Letting a person oscillate in strings of confusion for ten years, gosh, that's not done at all.. On and off situations lead one nowhere & the other person needs to sort priorities once and for all! At least, stop playing with hearts.. This is so amazingly done, beautiful Andrea.. Best of luck for the contest!

Ah so many i know do that breadcrumbing and ofcourse ghosting too. But in this case this person deserves to be ghosted as he or she is so not clear and straightforward , leading them on for ten years is definitely not cool: I absolutely loved reading this limerick! So on point! Your way with delivering things makes me smile! Hah! Best wishes for the contest

You are really up to date to know all the terms. Before yesterday I knew only ghosted!!
