Quick takeaways
- Love bombing is a manipulation technique where someone overwhelms you with affection and admiration, using tactics like lavish gifts and constant communication to gain control.
- Love bombing can also be a result of anxious relationship attachment, a stage that people often go through early in dating or after a difficult breakup, so it's important to open a conversation about boundaries and compromise rather than immediately labeling someone as a love bomber.
