So I’ve been talking to this guy for a few weeks( not the same man in my last post) Anyways he lives locally to where I am, we have a date planned out for next week. He recently went on vacation and bought things for me ? He also bought me a few things without me asking or knowing anything about it. He plans on giving it all to me during our first date? Is this a form of love bombing or is he just trying hard?

I’d be wary for sure.

Perhaps a little souvenir from his holiday would be a nice gesture, but the rest I would think is too much, would feel like he was attracted to the idea of the relationship and following a formula, rather than getting to know me and seeing how it went

Maybe gift giving is his love language.
