Love bombing is telling the person you want a future with them after the first date, and displaying very strong feelings right away in an attempt to manipulate the person into developing feelings for you quickly. Then, once they get what they want, the attention fizzles.
This. Idk why OP just ain’t google search it himself but..

Love bombing is where you shower a potential love interest with lots of attention early on/right off the bat. Expressing how much you like them, how you can see a future with them etc before really knowing them.

It’s really a manipulative tactic people use to get something out of someone quickly.. money, sex, attention, love etc

Often times once they get what they want, they pull back all that attention.

once i realized what this really meant i feel like i am a love bomber.
i generally call it "sucker 4 love" i be throwing the love out there full force, meanwhile i be knowing that i probably don't really have plans to be in a long term relationship.
just be on some whirlwind ish enjoying the ride with no real intentions other than to live and feel . i see how this can be confusing for some people who think love should only be given at a certain level. i don't mean no harm though.:pachaha:
happy friday yall!

Ask a million women and you'll get a million different answers. Usually it's when a chic doesn't get her way in a relationship or it doesn't go the way she envisioned it so he has to be either a narcissist, love bombing, or some combination of the words to explain how a guy would ever want to not be with them. Remember they're all 10s and perfect lol

But seriously I've been called a love bomber multiple times by chics. But it's usually the ones I tell I'm not looking for a serious relationship from them. When we kick it we might go out for dinner have a good time and I'm going all out just enjoy the ride while you're on. But once I'm done I'm outta there. Even being upfront like that they still made the accusations. But I also learned that a lot of chics getting the bare minimum out here. So everything I do seems like extra because they're just not used to anything lol

This how I move! I'm a lover boy nice gestures consideration the whole package. But I'm upfront with the chics especially when I don't see a serious future with them. They stuck around because they enjoy the perks and hope that sex is going to get me to change my mind and then spazz when they don't get the relationship they lied to themselves to believe they're entitled to lol

I think we’d make a great couple. I love the way you describe things in detail on this forum. I’ve never met a woman as articulate and intelligent as you.

i feel like it's being true to myself. i don't lie or lead people on. generally i don't really know where it's going because it be early in the relationship when the topic comes up but, i'll tell them i love them but "idk"

In the real world, love bombing a female has to fit ALL of these criteria
  1. an attractive man
    1. to her
      1. part of that attraction can be fame, money, or power, not just a handsome face and good body.
    2. at the time
      1. but not now
  2. hollas at a middling female/or chick punching above her weight class
  3. Is actually nice/respectful to her
    1. Compliments her
    2. follows up with more positive actions
  4. And she allows himto
    1. Get serious with her,. and become a long term bf, move in, get married
The most important elements is that the guy is "hot", and she is "not", and she lets him be nice to her.

If he's not "hot", it doesn't go anywhere.
If she's actually attractive, it's just love, not love bombing.

If she allows his behavior and gets caught up in it - it's his fault, his intention to hurt her. She's a victim, not a willing conspirator.

Without her complicity, the same actions are not love bombing.

Because ugly men promise and often deliver the moon, say they love a chick - and the chicks in question DGAF, put the guy in the friend zone, treat him as a simp, etc. That's 24/7/365 and 366 on a leap year.

So the fat chick that got married, and wondered who did I marry?



That was love bombing.
