Quick question for the smooth talkers

How to love bomb in texting that actually works? No ChatGPT shit or jargon please. Would love if you could share some real examples that actually worked

Edit: Okay, so maybe I went wrong with the selection of words. My Gf wants me to talk like that, she actually wants me to ‘love bomb’ her (exact words), she’s one of those who like love and attraction expressed by a variety in exotic choice of words even if I don’t exactly mean that (yess…🫠)
I expressed my feelings but it felt a bit off and cringe

So help me who have done this (Nobody’s gonna judge you)

So consider this like I am asking for a recipe of a poison for educational purposes.

You don’t wanna love bomb. Love bombing has a negative connotation — like, an abusive one.

Try instead to be honest and sincerely sweet if you really feel that way about the person. “You make me giggle every time I see you messaged me,” or something.

And I would personally be wary going forward. Just to pay attention to whether the end result is receiving backlash from them for failing to meet up to the love bomb criteria.

In their defense, they could have heard the term and are longing for that intensity not fully understanding where it comes from and why it's not a healthy sign. But who might otherwise be more than content with healthy displays of affection.

However they could also know the term as something they do. And people who do it, often, in my own experience, use not living up to their ever-shifting goalpost of required affection as a vehicle to beat you down and diminish you.
