Benching coded describes a person, text, or behavior that screams 'I'm keeping my options open and you're not the priority'. It's the vibe of someone who is technically present in your life but emotionally noncommittal. Benching coded texts look like: 'we should hang out sometime', 'sorry I've been so busy', or a 'hey' at midnight after two weeks of silence. Benching coded behavior includes being available when convenient, disappearing when things get real, and maintaining just enough warmth to prevent you from fully walking away. Once you can read it, you see it everywhere.
