[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve heard it before and it was reiterated in the other post that if a man is serious about you he will make every effort to be with you. No need to wonder, he will basically be all about you.

But how does it look or feel different from love bombing? [/quote]

Love bombing - he will make excuses for lack of time and tell you all kinds of things—but he doesn’t actually do them. Will get you hooked on charm and giving countless compliments—best ever, kind of crap. Common in affairs.  [/quote]

Disagree. People can keep this up for 10 years or so. I would say depth. Do things seem a bit superficial and out of the blue? Or really well thought out and consistent? People who love bomb often just have an agenda and there isn't much below the surface. [/quote]

I agree with the above.  It's meant to sweep you off your feet, but it's superficial.  They don't really want to get to know you.  They want you to fulfill a specific image in their mind that they have already formed.  They don't ask you questions.  They tell you what you are and put you on a pedestal.  There is a complete lack of depth.  They don't want a full human being with a fully formed identity, feelings, desires, and depth of emotions.  They go intense, fast, and full speed, so you don't have time to think things through.[/quote]

This sounds like my soon to be ex DH. Hindsight is 20/20[/quote]
