Love bombing

Čeština

Love bombing is an overwhelming display of affection early in dating — constant messages, grand gestures, quick declarations of love — that creates a sense of exceptional connection before there's any real basis for it.

A warning sign is the mismatch between how intense the gestures are and how long you've actually known each other. A phase like this is often followed by a turn toward control or emotional withdrawal.
