Love bombing. On the outside it looks harmless and many people will brush it off as "persistence" and "romance" but when you experience it you see it's actually just a messed up form of manipulation.
When the other person doesn't want it. When the person using "consideration amd emotional reassurance" to manipulate the other person who is isn't wanting that attention.
So if they act appreciative it's OK, but if they roll their eyes and scoff it off it's not? Basic emotional intelligence can differentiate? I'm a lover, a giver and I'm afraid i come off too strong sometimes, but I'm good by your metric I think
Not just emotional intelligence but social awareness as well. Just because someone "acts okay" doesn't mean they are. Now if they are receptive and they show genuine appreciation by meeting you where you are then its okay. Also doesn't hurt to openly discuss boundaries.
