Its a way to describe how they had ulterior motives in talking with you. Most commonly Ive seen those motives be for sex.

Nah it’s a legitimate manipulation tactic alongside gaslighting and victim blaming

And how they kinda manipulate you into a sense of security through doing everything right and going above and beyond.

I get that feel like a lot of people kinda use it as cope. As in this guy never had true intentions

Thats one way to look at it. People suck tbh. I hope that you are able to find someone who truly sees you as their star

Really? I’m not even sure what that could sound like. To me, making a point of not using the L word is basically the clearest possible indicator they’re managing your expectations

Idk it's just such a way to possibly call a decent guy a manipulative person and the reason it didn't work out instead of ever thinking they possibly could be part of the problem, but idk about one phrase

Making promises and comments to the person as if uve known them for months/years being like ur my dream person let’s plan this trip come meet my family yada yada like rlly intense stuff early on to get them hooked. Saying I love u way too early is also part of it but the “love”bombing is just the name but doesn’t mean they have explicitly say they love u if that makes sende
