Love Bombing in Cincy

Is It romantic, or too soon? Dojat Cat talks about love bombing in a recent interview for her new album, and it had us chatting about it too. 

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're waking up fifth in the morning.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Good morning. So is it romantic or is it a
red flag? Love Bombing was not a term I feel
like until maybe the last six to eight years in dating.
If you're wondering what the true definition of love bombing
is the action or practice of lavishing someone with attention
or affection, especially in order to influence or manipulate them,

(00:24):
You and I aren't thinking the same thing. Who has
the time for that?

Speaker 3 (00:29):
But it happens.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
It happens a lot in relationships, and I'm curious what
your love bombing stories are. So the reason why we're
even talking about it this morning is I had played
some of Doja Kat's new song in New Music Friday
a couple of days ago. Jealous Type is out, very eighties,
very inspired, very love inspired, and she did an interview
with Zane Loan. She talked a lot about love and

(00:50):
where the album came, but there was a term that
came up and I thought, hmm, this might be good
for the show. She talked about how some of the
album comes from her stories with love bombing.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Other things outside of myself that were inspiring me to
write about these things that had been in relationships that
made me think about things in a different way. And
I think, you know, naivity is like a big part
of this album too. I speak about sort of rushing

(01:23):
and sort of love bombing in a way that's kind
of a big one. I think that's a fun subject
to saying about. What is that had to find that
term for your point of view because I've heard a
couple of times in my life. I think sometimes people
don't know that they're doing it, or they do, but

(01:43):
but you know, giving excessive compliments and gifts right off
the bat, that sort of thing. Yeah, I thought that
was a really fun thing to write about.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I can't wait to hear the album doesn't go out
until next month. But she makes a great point, and
I think Cincinnatians have a different threat told of what's
romantic or what was just too weird for you? And
that's why we're having That's where the conversation comes in.
And I'm curious to get your take on it and
your stories, because if I don't hear from you, it's

(02:13):
just me alone in this box, and.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
I don't know if we look want that all the time.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
So what is the biggest, over the top romantic thing
that someone's ever done for you? And was it sweet
or was it just weird? And where did it leave you?
Five one, three, seven four nine one oh seven one,
or maybe today's the day you test out the talk
back with tip Feature company heard that I love leaving
voice nos from my friends, and they said, why don't
you just start integrating this into your show, So it's

(02:38):
like leaving me a voice note. Microphone is in the
top right hand corner of the iHeartRadio app Good morning,
how fitting based off of the conversation we're having no
Scrubs TLC one of my favorite bands, if not my
favorite app ban of all time. You're waking up with
TIF in the morning on Kiss one oh seven one.
We're talking about love bombing. Is it romantic and sweet

(03:00):
or was it a red flag? It was just a
little too weird. What's your experience with love bombing? We're
gonna start off with our talkbacks.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
So this girl blew me up for like six weeks
constantly you wanted to be with me when I spend
time with me, telling me how in love with me
she was, that she wanted forever with me, that she
had never said that to anybody else, And then come
to find out that the first three and a half
weeks of our relationship she was saying the same things
and cheating on me with her ex. But the love

(03:30):
bombing stopped as soon as she was caught, and then
it was a whole other story.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
And I'm assuming this is part two of that story,
is it?

Speaker 1 (03:39):
So then after giving me the last time, she played
me for ten and a half months, leading me on
and telling.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Me everything that I still wanted to hear.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
And now she's spent somebody new and she's love bombing
and doing the same thing to them.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
It's like a repeat pattern with this woman.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
And some people are just so pass especially when it
comes to relationships.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Well, thank you for the talkback with Tiff, and thanks
for sharing. You made a great point there. I don't
want you to overthink that the talkback slash voice note thing.
It's just an alternative way to contribute to my show.
If you're an iHeartRadio app listener, you'll know what it is.
If not, you can always call men don't stress, no problem.
Five point three seven four nine one oh seven one
is my phone number. You make a great point. Some

(04:25):
people just yeah, I don't know, but it had a
year left on like this, You're like, what did I
just what happened? Was it romantic or was it a
red flag? I think we have varying opinions on what's
too much too soon? If you're looking for somebody personal
to compare it to, you know, I've been dating Tom Brady.

(04:48):
We call him Tom Brady because he didn't know who
Tom Brady was on our first day. That's a story
for another day. But I've been six months, six months,
and when I introduced him to people, I still say
this is my friend and this is someone I'm dating.
I do not all him my boyfriend. I mean, we
move things really slowly in my world and in our
world so that we're really sure about who we are.

(05:08):
But then I have friends that expect a good morning
and a good night text after the first maybe one,
two or three dates, And to me, that's love bombing.
We have varying opinions on this, So why don't you
share yours? Five point three seven four nine one oh
seven one. I have yet to hear of a crazy
love bombing story. Aaron Sensey
