 Number 3: They will profess their love and affection for you.

 Love bombing is a technique used by narcissists to express their love and affection for you. The narcissist will try to win you back by reminding you of the good times. They will use their undying love to make these memories feel more meaningful and they may claim that you are the ideal match for them or that no one else can make them feel like you do.

Making grandiose declarations of love can help to warm you up and they hope you will melt when you realize that they still love you after all this time. Lies! Whatever that case may be, narcissists will use the L-word in the hopes of appealing to your emotions and persuading you to stay. Lies!!

 Number 4: They will make extravagant promises.

 When the narcissist uses the love-bombing technique, they will back it up with extravagant promises. You’ll hear them make promises like taking you on vacation, buying your dream house, or even marrying you. The chances of them keeping these promises are slim to none.

A narcissist is not making promises to you because they have no responsibility to anyone other than themselves. They accept no responsibility for what they do or do not do, how they behave, or why you feel the way you do, let alone what you desire. Any promise they make is to themselves, not to you. Remember that these are not for you; narcissists do this to keep you as a source for them as long as possible.

 Number 5: They will try to use other people to get to you.

 A narcissist will use manipulation strategies to entice you back to them. These methods may include communicating with your parents regularly and telling them how much they miss you. These narcissists will tell your mutual friends how wonderful you are and how much they regret letting you go, or they will use your child as an intermediary by having them relay messages back.

 Be wary of this hoovering technique, which involves having others close to you contact you on their behalf. Sending messages through other people can be a tactic they use to continue bombarding you with their messages of love. It could be because you’ve cut communication with them as much as possible.
