This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I mean, thank you for your advice, but I've been dating for quite a while now so I already learned I have to tone it down. It just feels frustrating having to pretend I'm less interested than I actually am, when I'm usually a person that hates being dishonest
But the reasons to be put off by lovebombing are justified. You're a stranger juggling knives and frustrated that they're backing away lol
I mean they keep acknowledging that it kinda just seems you're telling them that they have no choice but to pretend they're someone different than who they are
Yes, I am well aware. I just know that lovebombing can also be seen, like in this greentext, as a deliberate manipulation tactic (and often probably is). My original comment was just meant to show the other side, that it isn't always a manipulation attempt. And I'm absolutely not saying they are in the wrong for being weary of it.
I am childfree, and it's very hard in my country to find women that also never want children, so I get overly excited when I find one that is willing to go on a date with me. I have learned to tone it down
