Love bombing is a manipulation tactic. It’s commonly seen in domestic violence abusers and stalkers types. Any fan of true crime will notice most killers use it to lure their victims into feeling a false sense of security and also it creates a feeling of obligation. You shower someone with gifts and devote your time and claim you love them after only a few weeks or months of dating. When love bombers get rejected or their target asks for space they literally can’t deal because they feel like they are owed the persons complete devotion in return for the love bombing.

It's overused now but some of my boys def. did this/do this with women, sometimes without knowing that's what they were doing. They just learned it from their Dads.

It's like overpowering someone with attention, demands, gifts, praise, Oh I want you to be my wife, after like a week of dating, and then using that to gain more and more control.

It's not giving someone a gift, it's not calling someone beautiful, it's not a lot of things that people say it is.

Also, you cannot love bomb or whatever the fukk yall talking about if a bytch don’t like you. Either a bytch fukk with you for real or not, it’s that simple. Otherwise she will just be along for the ride and will even enjoy herself and you will be cool but she was never gonna be with you. I don’t believe in winning a bytch heart, she gotta naturally wanna give it to you

I'm a certified lover/delusional boy .

If I'm infatuated with someone , I be making up scenarios in my head of me flying off to Paris with them.
Only thing is , that I don't be saying any of that out-loud.

All these videos i've seen of couples doing happy things , be making me jelly. I ain't gonna lie.

-I actually find this thread interesting because to the women I've been dealing with it doesn't mean what I'm reading here. Love bombing is just the constant attention to them. Lots of texts through the day, calls whenever possible, telling them sweet things, making them feel special, etc. There's none of the ghosting or manipulation involved when they talk about it. They love it & actively encourage me to do it.

-My woman flat out told me I can love bomb her while she's in business meetings because even though she can't respond she loves seeing messages from me.
