Real Love Scenario

Love Bombing or Real Love? How to Spot the Difference


Listen Later

Is it real love… or just love bombing in disguise?In this episode of Real Love Scenario, we unpack the manipulative tactic known as love bombing — and help you spot the difference between genuine affection and emotional overload.
On the surface, it might feel like a fairytale — constant texts, big gifts, fast “I love yous.” But underneath, it could be a way to control and confuse.
🎯 What We Break Down:
  • What love bombing really is (and isn’t)
  • Why it’s more about control than care
  • How to test the tempo, transparency, and track record
  • Signs you’re being love bombed vs. loved
  • How to slow things down without losing connection

🛑 Red Flags:
  • Over-the-top gestures early on
  • Gift-giving as a form of guilt or control
  • “We’re soulmates” in week 2
  • Isolation masked as devotion

💚 Green Flags:
  • Consistent behavior over time
  • Healthy pacing and mutual decision-making
  • Affection that leaves room to breathe
