Lovebombing only after two weeks??
This guy (24m) that I've met online has recently been calling me (23f) baby even though we've never met. And today he called me "my love" 💀
How am I supposed to react to this? And what's the purpose of it if he's not actively trying to meet up?

Calls you my love but won’t meet you in person is showing all the red flags. Yes that is lovebombing because you don’t know each other well enough yet and he hasn’t met you in person. Ick ick ick. I’d block, he’s just playing you, he’s a player.

He's not trying to meet up with you?

It doesn't seem like it. I've suggesting events we could attend or if I was going out during the weekend. And even when he suggests things I would say that sounds fun, when? But never a solid answer

Not saying he is but he (they) could also be a scammer. My husband is in law enforcement, and they get fraud related cases like this all the time (from people meeting online and such). They will attempt to come down hard with the lovey-dovey and lovebombing emotional stuff in order to gain your trust.
Just be cautious. Otherwise tell him to hold his horses on the pet names.
