An attachment bomb is flooding a new partner with intense closeness very fast, often overwhelming them.
An attachment bomb is a sudden, intense push for emotional closeness early in dating, before trust has had time to build.
It can look like constant texting, fast talk of a shared future, or demands for reassurance after only a few dates. The pace feels flattering at first, then heavy.
This behavior overlaps with love bombing, though an attachment bomb is driven more by anxiety about losing the person than by control.
If the intensity outruns how well you actually know each other, name it and slow down. Healthy attachment grows from repeated reliability over time, not from a single overwhelming burst.
