do you think you're being lovebombed here's how to tell the difference between someone who's genuinely excited about you and someone who's manipulating you Look everyone brings their agame to a new relationship We all want to impress someone we like But love bombing that's something completely different Love bombing feels overwhelming Like they're calling you their soulmate after three dates They're buying expensive gifts They want to see you every single day And they get upset when you have other plans Normal excitement looks like texting you good morning planning thoughtful dates being genuinely interested in your life But love bombing looks like constant contact pushing for commitment making you feel guilty for having boundaries Love bombers isolate you They'll say things like "I just want it to be us." Or "Your friends don't understand what we have." They make you feel special for being chosen But really they're cutting you off from your support system Love bombers make everything about speed and intensity They rush intimacy because they want control not connection Real partners respect your pace and life outside of them Trust your gut If it feels too much it probably is Real love grows steadily It doesn't explode overnight And remember healthy relationships leave room for you your friends your hobbies and your boundaries What other dating red flags should I cover let me know in the comments
