Basically, "love bombing" is a recruiting term, which means surounding a potential new member of a group
with members who will show unconditional "love and support" in hopes that the new member will join the group. Similar to the old fraternity practice of "hot boxing" a potential pledge into joining a fraternity. Term originated during the "Human Potential Movement" of the 1970s which carried over into the 1980s (Werner Erhard's EST programs in the 70s, and educator John Handley's Lifespring Training of the 80s).

1. Peter over there looks like he's ready to join. Let's get some members to love bomb him real good, and maybe we can get a deposit out of him tonight. 2. We need to go over and love bomb the Historical Preservation Society, so that we can get a variance for the stip club. If HPS members speak up for us at the Board of Adjustment meeting, we're in. 3. Don't know the company's name, but it's been love bombing Randy for about a year now in an attempt to get him to go to work for it.
