How do you spot love bombing?

1. It feels too good to be true. It’s ridiculously early on that there’s no way in hell it can be true.

2. honestly i get very uncomfortable by too many compliments. i am someone who compliments others a lot, so if someone else manages to out-do me i take notice. and with lovebombing the compliments are not genuine, without any strings attached, they are meant to push someone in a specific direction. and that’s easy to spot if you’re looking for it.

3. If you have to ask this question, you are probably being love bombed. This has happened to me like 4 times now and my intuition hasn’t been wrong yet although it used to take awhile for me to figure it out.

4. After first night together I get a 4 paragraph long email …..and 30 missed calls the following wknd

5. In my case, first date he said “I love you” right away and that he wanted to marry me soon.

6. For me it’s simple. When the guy is being too much too soon. I immediately run. 🏃🏻‍♀️

7. I had to actually Google the term, as I hadn’t heard of it before. It sounds like love bombing in itself can be harmless.
   It’s what happens when the relationship is established that matters. The predator will stop showering you with affection and such and get angry and openly abusive if you show interest in things/people other than him/her and your relationship and future.
   So to answer your question, i suppose you don’t initially.
   If you’re concerned then refrain from going all in and wait and see. Maybe you can talk to an ex of theirs?

8. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
