Is this love bombing?

I've had bad relationships in the past & am very wary so I'm not sure if I'm being over sensitive. Before lockdown I met a man through old. He was lovely & came across as really kind & caring. The only downside was he lives a long way from me & just happened to be working nearby. I made it clear from the start that I didn't want a long distance relationship. We met once & then lockdown happened. We've stayed in touch via text & occasional phone calls. He seems genuinely lovely but I'm now getting uncomfortable. He's sent me flowers with long notes about 'us'. He's declared that he loves me. He sends me songs & long messages all the time. He ignores me when I say we've only met once & he doesn't even know me. I haven't encouraged any of this. I was happy to remain friends but definitely said I didn't want a ldr. I know that lockdown has heightened things & I've been struggling on my own but I can't help thinking this is too weird.

To be honest then, him saying that he's madly in love with you is a bit of a red herring. He's a non-starter as a partner because he can only talk about himself and has no regard for you as an individual, only as far as how you make him feel.

Every message is about him & how he feels & his problems.

Hard pass. Blocky block.
