“Denise will be conscious and hesitant to make it official but she must be head over heels by going public, especially choosing a glamorous showbiz event to introduce her new man to the world.”
Tina continued by suggesting Denise should be “mindful” of being “love bombed”.
She reasoned: “Denise needs to be wary of his intentions if he starts showering her with gifts and unusual attention or affection. If he comes on too strong there could be a reason behind it that he is trying to cover up.”
