@erebos We don't know Jack's history. We know she's not straight, so I would not be surprised if there's a history of abandonment there.
You're right, Nate would be. The Nate of S2. They already set up that growth when he didn't do his confidence trick in the bathroom. He's still got to face the consequences of his actions, but he's getting there.

It didn't make sense for Jack to be a love-bomber.
Love-bombing is a narcissistic behavior derived mainly from low self-esteem, life-long fears of abandonment, and a desperate, constant need for reassurances. Nate would've been a textbook love-bomber, yet he brushed off the crushing of his elaborate gift way too easily to frame that as a moment of character growth.
