New relationships bring a wave of excitement into your life. Everything feels perfect, especially when you meet someone you instantly click with. But does this new love interest feel too good to be true? Does your new partner shower you with excessive compliments, attention, grand gestures and over-the-top gifts that make you feel overwhelmed? Many people often mistake this behaviour for true love when it's actually love bombing.
What Is Love Bombing?
Love bombing is a popular Gen Z term used to describe a situation where a person approaches you in a romantic way with full force during the early stages of a relationship. If you often find yourself being pushed into commitment and overwhelmed by love then chances are that what the person is doing here is not out of love but for other purposes instead. Here the person is manipulating you into a relationship, causing you psychological and emotional abuse in the form of love bombing.
It's important to note that the person who is love-bombing you is definitely not in love with you and is doing these gestures just to get you into the relationship. These kinds of relationships don't last more than five months as this is the maximum period one could fake their love. When someone is love bombing you, they will be the perfect person in your life during the initial stages, however, as you progress into the relationship, the efforts will begin to decline and they will lose their interest because true love never existed in the first place.
Signs Of Love Bombing
Here are the possible signs of love bombing you need to watch out for:
Excessive Conversation And Dates
During the initial stages, when the person is trying their best to trap you into a relationship, they will obsessively talk to you and frequently ask for a date. You won’t even realise when they will become the main character of your life. After a few months, you’ll see a decline in conversation and meet-ups which will make you feel a sudden deprivation of love.

Grand Gestures, Compliments, And Gifts
The sugar-coated compliments, big gestures, and gifts—has it started to feel like a dream? If yes, then it's time to wake up. While making your partner feel special in a relationship is good, doing it excessively during the beginning is clearly a red flag. Falling madly in love takes time, therefore, grand gestures make sense only when you’ve spent some considerable time together.
