I was talking to someone that I met while I was running errands recently, we hit it off & started talking for a while until I couldn't anymore. This only lasted a month btw.
He was a littleeeee too "nice"; Would send me messages throughout the day like "You are strong & brilliant, never give up on your dreams and have a beautiful day!" or "Remember to take breaks throughout the day! 😊" But it was consistent, like almost every day.
Told me we have an incredible connection and is grateful to share all the experiences we have shared (Have only gone out on three dates & tries to have personal conversations through texts), how he has feelings for me even though we have only met a couple times & I clearly called him out for it, saw that I wasn't buying it and didn't seem to like it by trying to convince me otherwise
Mentioned how he can put a roof over our heads, make sure I am well taken care of with any of my needs and wants...but we just met....?
Has no friends and mentioned to me how I'm the only person he was hanging out with
Wanted to FT almost every night
Told me all of his ex-girlfriends name & his experiences with them (Never said anything positive); On top of that, supposedly I was one of the most beautiful woman he has dated (Physically and emotionally according to him) this made me feel like I was just his arm candy.
If he ever said something stupid, to call him out for it? (What are you, fucking 8? This man is in his early 30's)
Was ready to get into a serious relationship with me, meet my parents, etc.
During one of our conversations, called one of his ex's friend a "damn fucking bitch"
If I decided to end it, we could be friends but he would no longer pursue me and move on.....ok...BYE
Nothing felt genuine. But there was something SO off about him, I just don't know what. I ended up blocking him because it was too much & yes, I never gave him my real number.
Lesson #4220302, if he's beyond "sweet and nice" ....
walk. the. fuck. away.
Sounds like love bombing. Why I love a quick commiter all the other stuff sounds wack
"give a chance" = ignore the red flags you saw on your first impression
NO
Never give them a chance. Ever.
Men would never do the same, so we won’t either.
omg i had a similar experience with a love bombing scrote a couple years ago. he also seemed to fall in love too quickly, also wanted to FT almost every night, also put me on a pedestal, also said negative things about his exes (although i don't consider just bashing your exes a red flag - everybody does that because most people hold a grudge against their exes. i usually watch out for specific comments such as "she's crazy" and such).
they really are all the same, aren't they? they apply the same tactics. this is why it's important to have a community and talk (and listen) to other women. when we share our experiences we see men's true colors.
