Love bombing
Extreme early intensity: an unrealistic pace, overwhelming affection, and certainty that arrives before he could possibly know you.
What it looks like
- “I’ve never felt this way” in the first week.
- Daily gifts, constant messages, and plans that fill every evening you have.
- Talk of forever, and visible disappointment when you want a night to yourself.
Why it is easy to miss
It feels wonderful, and it looks like the certainty people say they want. The pace is the tell, and pace is hard to see from inside it.
What it is not
Genuine enthusiasm that stays steady, respects your pace, and survives you saying no to a Tuesday.
What to do
- Slow the pace once, on purpose, and watch what happens to the warmth.
- Keep the plans you already had with other people.
- Ask yourself whether the intensity is about you or about speed.
How Bondary reads it
She tracks pace across weeks, so the opening month sits next to the ones that follow instead of coloring them. A sudden drop after that intensity is what she watches for next, under hot and cold.
She never tells you to leave. She shows you the pattern and the entries it came from, and the decision stays yours.
