so if "no homo" exists for giving another dude a platonic compliment
can we have "no hetero" for giving one to a lady
like "no hetero, but that's a lovely shade of blue you're wearing"

Best was Michael Badalucco from The Practice, on the New York subway. He told me to calm down and take my time when I got tongue-tied, and really gave me his attention.
Also best was Robert Wisdom; who was incredibly gracious and just a wonderfully warm guy.

... perhaps "love-bombing" is not the right term.
she seemed to be describing a phenomenon whereby different individuals would unexpectedly tell her that they loved her, out of the blue; because they were projecting feelings or other things on her
in essence dropping a "love bomb" as she meant it
Open ears here; what my friend was describing surely did not sound like a positive experience.
Wanna say more?
