I started dating a pretty awesome Pisces man a couple of weeks ago. However, things are going from 0 to 100 very quickly. While I’m thrilled to receive all the affection and attention and quality time, I’m feeling very guarded. I got all of this love bombing at the beginning from a cancer man not long ago (crazy water signs, I tell you), and after a few weeks he shut down, emotionally unavailable. Several years ago, Aquarius man did this at the beginning, then shut down, emotionally unavailable. My ex-husband did this, turned out to be an emotionally abusive narcissist. So you can imagine I have my guard up with this one. I’m having a great time with him and he makes me feel so good, especially after hot and cold emotionally unavailable heartache with a recent cancer man. I know that Pisces men wear their hearts on their sleeves and are super touchy-feely, but my past experience has me very wary. Not sure whether or not I should address it and verbalize some boundaries this early or just let it play out and enjoy it.
Concerned about Pisces man love bombing

Just take your time
A few years to really get to know him. You don’t need to make him pay for the sins of others. He may turn up to be a good guy.

Yes, verbalize your boundaries.
Its important to have a partner who prioritizes your comfort over his ego. How he reacts to those boundaries will tell you a lot.

Accelerated attachment is a huge red flag. Fall back.

Boundaries with a Pisces man are very important.. they usually lack boundaries. Lol and with him being a mutable sign, he will likely swim back and forth, in and out so it’s wise to pace yourself with him. Be receptive with him while still being cautious, tell him to pump his brakes if he’s going too fast, too soon.
Do you know his venus sign? You can sometimes tell more from a man’s venus sign than his sun. If he has a fire venus that would explain the 0 to 100. Lol
fire + water = lots of steam 😅
Venus in Aquarius

had this terrible fight with a pisces yesterday but now we're planning to move in together coz logic?? we both like our space so we think this is bad news for our relationship. but we have reasons for doing this.
i don't mind love bombing coz i'm a love bomber myself 💣💣 is it even really love if it doesn't feel a little bit like cult initiation?

Cults =/= love
The shared pillars of all cults are the same. You can't questions the leader/core beliefs or you will be punished. And you are isolated from anyone else who isn't in the cult, including family.
If anything cults resemble the domestic abuse cycle more so than anything resembling love.
You got me praying for you and I am an atheist.

If you think it’s a red flag, it’s a red flag.
This is more about you needing to break your pattern and stop wasting your time on vampires.

Love bombing is a form of manipulation so you're right to feel wary. Plus if it keeps happening to you then you might be doing something that makes you seem susceptible to this behviour
Yeah she’s giving them attention.
Update, I ended up breaking it off. It was absolutely suffocating. He was blowing up my phone if I didn’t respond within a couple of hours, talking about future plans months down the road, and it was just way too much. I very politely broke it off just saying that he was way more emotionally invested in this way too quickly than I was, and it just wasn’t going to move forward for me. He took it really well. Until he kept texting me the next day and calling me like nothing it happened. I ended up having to block him on my phone. Then he started messaging me on WhatsApp and I had to block him there. Crazy for sure!

People who can't take no for an answer are some of the most dangerous individuals out there imo.
Well done for breaking your cycle.

I have a Pisces boyfriend. We've officially been together for only four and a half months. He was the same way, constant surprises and love-bombing and he is now still very generous, but he is more about planning the future and coming up with common goals for us to achieve (they're dreamers), and on a day to say basis he, like I said is very generous. He is also very attentive and loving.
I say, do not let your past experiences affect your present. I have experience what you experienced with a Cancer. When I unintentionally hurt him, he sulked and went resentful. My Pisces is much more patient and communicative (not all are like this). My baby daddy is a Pisces too and he was great to me but he was not communicative (confrontational), in his mind he thought that he loved me so why confront me if he was going to stay with me no matter what? Did not make sense to me, but that was him.
Anyways, I say let him be himself and tell him that you are scared because of your past experiences; yet, you do not want him to change what he is doing, but you want him to know how you feel. Pisces are very empathetic and care about feelings. But please do not put out his romance. They need to be romantic because that is who they are and you deserve it. Trust me I have BAD trauma issues. I have bad insecurity attachment disorder. I am petrified of being hurt, but I worked hard to be able to sit here and receive the love that I deserve. I receive a lot of love from my Pisces boyfriend. I couldn't imagine stifling his expressions of love for me because of my past. I know you maybe apprehensive, but enjoy it because if he is sincere, it will be so worth it.
If I would have told my Pisces boyfriend, "I hate flowers" (because I didn't want to feel vulnerable), he would not get me any. He would not have planted me a rose bush in his backyard. I think that is so romantic and healing for someone like me with my particular past.
If I would have told him cooking was for girls (because I hide behind sarcasm), he would not have made me soup from scratch when I will terribly ill and bedridden.
So, my point is, your boyfriend is not any of your previous boyfriends, give him a chance. If he goes cold on you, he is immature. Go find a mature man.
