Yeah. . . it strikes me as something someone would say while they put the bunny in the pot.

Every person is unique--just like everyone else.

But truly, every person has their own unique approach to how they show and accept love.

Now...I think I need to go listen to Lou Rawls.

I think it's totally true according to the person who is saying it. They believe it's true, whether it is or not, that's a different story.

While I think it is technically true, it sounds to me like something that might be said by someone who has a bit of a problem with being clingy.

Please discuss.
I don't think u can make a blanket generalization one way or the other when it comes to making that statement. I told my first love he would never find a woman to love him better or as good as me. I absolutely meant it with every fiber of my being. The problem is he didn't care. It just wasn't enough to compel him to stay. Sure some people may just say it... However, u can't keep someone who doesn't want to be kept no matter what u say

Really it is to eaches own, i would not say that. We will be married 37 years soon, we just say, what we really mean. we are glad that we found each other. After knowing a man who was kid you not married for 45 years, wife dies, he finds a young girlfriend, is now telling her he loves her, gag me please, married her, he dies, 3 years later, she got all his money, not even his daughter. Mind you only a couple of months after his wife dies, at 45 years of marriage, anything is possible.

Well it sounds like u were never put in a position where u needed to say it. U r very lucky. I said it to my First emphasis on 1st. I Know better now... It's better to let him walk quick, fast and in a hurry. A man who doesn't want to be with u does u a favor when he leaves. I can appreciate that now

I think the statement is true in that no two people love in exactly the same way.

However, it kind of gives me the creeps to hear it because it implies a certain amount of "control" someone is trying to exert over someone else

I'm with the everyone is unique; therefore, everyone loves differently club. I think when most people say it it's because they are hurt and shocked by the ending of the relationship because they feel they have loved this person with everything and no one else will love them with as much as they have.

I've never said it, but I've thought it.
