“Love Bombing or Genuine Affection? How to Tell the Difference”

Is it love... or manipulation dressed as passion?

In this episode of Love Science Today, we explore one of the most misleading and emotionally confusing dating patterns: love bombing. At first, it feels like a fairytale—constant affection, deep declarations, endless attention. But soon, things shift.

We dive into the psychology of love bombing, how it’s used to control rather than connect, and why it leaves lasting emotional damage—especially for people with anxious attachment styles or past relational trauma.

You’ll learn:

  • The 7 tell-tale signs of love bombing

  • Why healthy love builds slowly, not urgently

  • The link between narcissism and romantic overdrive

  • How trauma bonding works and why it keeps you hooked

  • How to know if it's affection… or a trap in disguise

This episode offers real-life examples, red flag checklists, and practical tools to protect your heart without closing it.

Because love shouldn’t confuse you.
It should grow with you.
