I'm glad love bombing is becoming more widely known and shit like this is less likely to be considered cute or romantic. A random stranger sending lavish gifts to a girl nearly 20 years younger than him is so fucking alarming.
Me too, there wasn't much awareness of it when I was growing up, but it was prevalent, especially with big age gaps. My estranged brother used to love bomb his exes and it was depressing hearing of them falling for him, just to realise he was utterly fucked up once the sheen wore off.
And he'd do with people even he wasn't romantically interested in I think. Cause I remember when The Osbournes had their show there was a moment where he gifted Kelly a really expensive diamond-filled watch after accidentally tripping her at some event. He was like "you don't wear enough diamonds" and sent her that watch. I don't think she ever implied it went beyond that.
Oh God, this would have completely turned my head as a young woman.
the dads of young daughters treating them to nice things with caption "treating my daughter with the good stuff so she won't be impressed your crusty offerings!"
I feel like i need an example because that just comes off as those dads who view their daughters as property.
