Love bombing can be intoxicating, but it’s crucial to recognize it early to protect your emotional well-being. Here’s how to spot the signs that someone might be love bombing you:

1. Overwhelming Displays of Affection

What It Looks Like:

• Constant Compliments: They shower you with praise and adoration, often in excessive amounts, making you feel like the center of their universe.
• Grand Gestures: Expect frequent and extravagant gestures, such as lavish gifts, over-the-top romantic dates, or declarations of love early in the relationship.
• Rapid Intensity: The affection seems too intense for the stage of your relationship. They may declare love or future plans much earlier than feels natural.

2. Excessive Communication

What It Looks Like:

• Non-Stop Contact: They constantly text, call, or message you, seemingly unable to give you space or time to yourself.
• Over-Eager Responses: They respond to your messages or calls almost immediately, and their need for constant communication feels intrusive.
• Pressure to Communicate: They might express frustration or disappointment if you don’t reply quickly or if you need time away from your phone.
