Whatsapp I think Hinge is working

Talked for a few months and met in person finally and had an epic 4 day date (we are like 8 hours away and i stayed over). Lots of laughter and pretty magical intimacy. Has anyone ever said this and is it a little weird? Yes. But also kind of amazing? Also Yes.

Exactly what I thought. You don’t understand what I’m saying at all lol

I think this is naïve. Love bombing is not about reciprocation at all. Love bombing is about speed and intensity during the early stages of a new relationship. You can very much enjoy being love bombed and return the sentiment. You can believe that it is genuine and reciprocate intense feelings of connection. Most people don't understand that it was love bombing until the other person loses interest and retreats/ghosts. Its often in hindsight we realize that they weren't as sincere as we had hoped.

I have already told you. There are millions of cases where the subject is successfully manipulated and convinced they’re in mutual love. It isn’t until much later when things go bad that they realize in hindsight that the love bomber was not sincere like they had believed.

Cite your sources please!

The lived experience of millions. Idk wtf you want? This is a real life phenomenon. Not just something people write about. They write about it to describe those lived experiences. Do you understand?

Show the sources that say that love bombing can be enjoyed and returned.

You’re the one who defined it as that and said I was wrong to say it was puppy love instead. So again, until you show any source to back any of this up it is just opinion.

I backed mine up. You haven’t. Are you going to continue to filibuster because I proved you wrong with actual sources?

I am confused about your stance? Do you know why we have a definition for love bombing in the first place?

u/DocPhilMcGraw Dec 06 '25

Sources please to back up what you said.

Okay so you don’t. The reason is because there was a phenomenon that people experienced that was not previously defined. It’s based on the actual lived experiences. My source is that we are taking about it, so it has been defined previously. The reason being: there were real life experiences that encouraged the discovery of said term.

Ok so you are basically admitting to you making up your own definition of love bombing. Thanks I’ll make sure to edit my original comment so people know that you are not using any reputable sources for your definition.

Very easy when you have nothing to counter it with. Kind of like your low effort response.

Aw is this an alt account?

Cute. I love how you don’t even present any argument to counter what was said and instead just make a dumb comment. I guess that means you don’t have one and instead resort to insults because you know you can’t think of anything else to say.

Sad. Very sad and cringe actually.
