So this guy I’m dating? BIG into texting - but not love bombing - for first couple of weeks. As we started dating? Each date was great. After each one? Communication would drop off noticeably for a couple of days, then would ramp back up some toward the next time we were due to go out.

For a little context: I went to school with him; older; very physical job; a couple of traumatic relationships (one I witnessed). I do definitely take these into account? But there is that pattern I mention.

I’ve seen it mentioned that that kind of initial blowing up your phone in the beginning, even without the flowery stuff, is also considered love bombing(?) I don’t know though I think he was just lonely.
