Whitney Love Bombing

Similar to traditional love bombing, Whitney Love BombingTM is a tactic established is 2025 where someone overwhelms a new partner with excessive affection, attention, and gifts early in a relationship to establish that they follow through on a challenge and to gain their trust. This can involve grand gestures, constant communication, and promises of future pranks and dares, all designed to make the target laugh, feel presently surprised, and slightly overwhelmed. It is the genuine non-manipulative version of traditional love bombing and, if executed correctly, should lead to great memories, laughter, healthy conversation about boundaries, and a relationship and/or friendship based on mutual consent, pranks, and fun.

That guy spent the whole of our date pushing his Love the truth bomb mantra, what was he trying to prove? Get me to buy into one of his get rich schemes, by using soft mushy words.

Love bombing

A manipulative tactic where someone overwhelms you with excessive affection, gifts and promises at the start of a relationship to gain control or trust. Once hooked, they shift to demeaning and controlling behavior.
Love bombing is when they tell you they love you but never had anytime to actually get to know you and fall in love with you.

Abuser: “from the moment I met you, I knew you were my soulmate. No one has ever understood me like you do. I’ll do whatever it takes to make you the happiest woman alive because you’re everything I’ve ever wanted. I love you so much

Victim: “wow really? No one has ever said anything like this to me before. I love you too

Love-bombing

And that’s why I love you and what you do because you’re the good one and me? I’m also the good one. We’re both the good ones. You’re a master of what you do because it make it look like my ideas are being opposed without me being exposed as a charlatan. It lends to my credibility in spite of the fact that what you’re saying is critical”
Hym “That’s what a Narcissist does. Love-bombing. He’s a narcissist. Just ask Teal Swan (who is NOTa cult leader and is an absolute gem... maybe... possibly not. I don’t really know). Narcissist. And he has a frowny-face about the A.I. thing because the thing I said might actually work because I’M THE THING I SAY I AM. A Genius. Hurray me!”
