At first, it feels magical.He’s obsessed with you.He’s texting nonstop, buying gifts, planning getaways, calling you “soulmate” after two dates…It feels like a rom-com fantasy.
But slow down.
Because when love feels too good to be true too fast — it often is.What you might be experiencing is love bombing — and trust me, it’s not love. It’s manipulation dressed up in roses and romantic dinners.
What is Love Bombing?
Love bombing is when someone overwhelms you with grand gestures, intense affection, and constant contact early in a relationship… with the intention of gaining control.
It’s not about you. It’s about power.
And once they’ve got your trust and devotion? The manipulation begins — usually through guilt, gaslighting, jealousy, or emotional withdrawal.
How to Recognise Love Bombing: 7 Red Flags
It’s moving at lightning speed.“I love you” comes before you even really know each other.
They constantly need your attention.You're punished (through silence or guilt trips) if you don’t respond fast enough.
They put you on a pedestal. You're the “most perfect” person they’ve ever met — until you're not.
They try to isolate you. Friends and family become “threats” to your connection.
They don’t respect boundaries. You say slow down — they speed up.
You feel anxious, not safe. Real love brings peace. Love bombing brings confusion.
You Deserve Real, Respectful Love.
The kind that’s calm. Consistent.Patient.Rooted in mutual growth — not obsession, control, or drama.
Never forget: being chosen fast isn’t the same as being loved well.
You don’t need fireworks to know it’s real. You need emotional safety, clarity, and respect.
If it feels overwhelming, confusing, or manipulative — it’s not love. It’s control in disguise. You’re not crazy. You’re waking up.
