Would you see this as ‘love bombing’?

[Luciagre197]

Not met this man yet but spoke for a week or so over messages. He has already bought me a gift for my upcoming birthday even though I have not met. He keeps telling me that I’m ‘the most beautiful person he has ever known’ that ‘he has strong feelings for me’ ‘can’t get me off his mind’ and lots of other messages like that. Is this love bombing? Or I am thinking too much into it.

Weird - block and forget him.

🤮🤮 so creepy - run like the wind

Thank you everybody for taking the time to respond. I will definitely steer clear!

What was the gift?

sounds a bit of weirdo.

I hate to be crude but it sounds like he's after something!

Ugh!!! Dump the creepy cunt!

He's the type who would latch on to any woman. It wouldn't matter who. It's all about the idea of having a partner, rather than the individual herself.
Anyhow, run!

treat me like a princess Run!

Yep - he doesn’t know you. He’s known you a week and it’s far too soon for all of this. I’d avoid a man displaying such intensity after a matter of days. You want to find someone with better judgement (he should be mature enough to know this is all projection and fantasy - he’s never even met you!), less extreme moods (if this is him after a week, imagine upsetting him or him feeling jealous?) and more realistic ideas about relationships. I’d be flattered by anyone telling me I was the best woman on the planet but you have to detach yourself and look at it for what it is: lovebombing which could end up being a pain in the arse very quickly.

Maybe he's one of those blokes who wants to buy you a load of stuff and likes it when you slag him off

Run run and run some more....... those phrases make my skin crawl, I only wished someone would have warned me at the early stage of hearing those phrases said to me over 2 decades ago. It didn't start or end well!
