Love bombing—or the offer of instant companionship—is a deceptive ploy accounting for many successful [cult] recruitment drives.

Confirming how manipulative the behavior is.. gross.

Well shit... Maybe the reason I barely get anything on dating apps is because my profiles look like a love bomb scam and not an easy slut... 🤔

Rather than easy slut or 'hard to get' as another extreme, honestly tracks well: "Hey I'm having x feelings for you but am also cautious because of y. So instead of flying you to Japan tomorrow and covering your entire family in roses and love poetry, would you like to get lunch and then go grocery shopping?"
