Love Bombing

When someone comes back all of a sudden to shower you with over the top displays of affection, flirtation, etc. They have been “hot and cold” with you over and over— in your life one minute and then ghosting you the next without warning.

This CAN BE a manipulative, narcissist tactic; used to see if they still have a “hold” on you. Makes you disposable to their discretion when they’re bored.
“Omg Charles just texted me again! It’s been two months! He’s asking me to go out to dinner with him and is being so cute, I’m so excited!”

“Girl, you know he’s just love bombing you. He ghosted you a hundred times and is talking to like three other women on Instagram. He’s just thirsty and wants benefits from you.”
