Do you know if you are being love bombed?

Love bombing happens when someone is emotional manipulating you by giving you excessive attention, affection or gifts. You can feel like you are being 'swept off your feet.' You can also feel overwhelmed by the attention or the intense emotions. These might be warning signs of love bombing.

Signs of love bombing

"After 3 weeks of dating, he says, "When we get married..."

If you find yourself feeling a bit overwhelmed by the attention that someone is giving you, hit PAUSE, and take some time and space out from the relationship, especially if it is in the early stages. Dating is not a race!

Some signs of love bombing that you might hear:

  • You're my perfect woman/man/partner
  • I've never met anyone like you
  • I want to be with you all the time
