Love bombing?

Bhavana

So I'm a 27-year-old guy and I just started chatting with a 25-year-old girl today. She sent me a follow request on Instagram yesterday and this morning she texted asking if I don't want to talk? She's being overly affectionate – she's already shared about ten reels of her wishlist for a husband, marriage, everything. Her friend even messaged me calling me 'jiju'. It feels off. Her parents are strict; her dad doesn't let her go on trips. I'm confused why she's so lovey-dovey when we haven't even spoken on the phone yet. In the afternoon she said she hopes we meet soon. I'm in Bangalore, she's in UP. Then in the evening she said she hopes I don't back out. I told her it's been less than a day, how can I commit so early. She replied that we've already talked a lot, shared past details, and she'll be hurt. How should I proceed? How do I handle this?

Kavitha

Talk to her on the phone, be cautious, and if you feel incompatible you can ignore or block her.

Vidya

Some girls do get attached quickly. You need to slow her down, talk to her and make her understand.

Bhavin

I think you should see if you truly connect. Some people act like this for various reasons, so give it some time and figure out what's genuine.

Niraj

It could be her first interaction with a man, and she may already think you're the one she'll marry, which explains the intensity. If that bothers you, tell her you need to take things slow, get to know each other first, and discuss love later.

Sachin

Communicate clearly from the start. I can't see any reason for her behaviour – she hasn't even spoken on the phone yet wants to invest her life in a stranger within a day. Something feels off.

Pillai

Tell her she's playing T20 while you prefer test matches.

Rupali

She's a bit immature, which is fine. Just be considerate and appreciative.

Arpita

She seems like the type who gets attached early and expects the same from you. I know someone in a similar situation - after two weeks she was demanding 4-5 hours of calls daily, expecting girlfriend-level treatment, stalking his Instagram followers and analysing his stories. She'll start comparing your relationship to others and expect gifts, trips, surprises, which can become toxic. Even if you ask her to slow down, she may not care. My advice: don't entertain this and walk away as soon as possible.

Tejas

Something feels off... I'm not sure if this is normal, and after seeing so many negative posts I'm starting to think this way.

Prem

Are you out of her league? If not, based on my limited experience with the AM process, I can say something definitely feels fishy.
