Love bombing is when someone comes on extremely strong early. Constant texts, big gestures, future talk, intense emotional vulnerability. It feels intoxicating because it is designed to. The pattern only reveals itself when the second half hits: the withdrawal, the silence, the slow fade right when you started trusting it.
Why love bombing is easy to miss in the moment
In the love bombing phase, your data looks amazing. Green zone scores. Lots of effort tags. Lots of future talk tags. You feel like you finally found someone who is actually present.
That is exactly when love bombing works. It builds enough emotional investment that when the withdrawal comes, you keep waiting for the good version to return instead of seeing the withdrawal as the truth.
How Spilled flags it
Spilled tracks score trends over time. When a score starts high (green zone, lots of effort entries early) and then drops sharply (more cancellations, more no-response entries, less effort), the love bomb then disappear flag fires.
This is one of the most reliable patterns Spilled can detect because the math is so clean. You cannot have a sustained score drop unless something actually changed in the data. The drop is the receipt.
What to do with the flag
Seeing love bombing in your data is hard because it means the version of him you fell for might not be the real one. Or it was real but short-lived. Either way, the pattern is information.
Pro users can tap the flag for a personalized read on what specifically changed and when. Sometimes the withdrawal is temporary (real life, work stress, family things). Sometimes it is the actual relationship. The data over the next few weeks usually tells the truth.

Questions, answered
What is the difference between love bombing and just being into someone?
Real interest stays consistent. Love bombing has a withdrawal phase. If the intensity holds steady over time and your score stays green, that is not love bombing. That is consistent effort. Spilled flags that as a positive pattern.
How long after the love bombing phase does the flag fire?
It depends on how sharp the drop is. A clear collapse can fire within a couple of weeks. A slow fade takes longer to detect because the trend has to settle.
Is love bombing always intentional?
Not always. Some people fall hard fast and then panic when it gets real. Some are manipulating on purpose. Spilled does not diagnose intent. It just shows you the pattern of behavior.
