Is it a red flag if the person you're on a date with tells you, I've never met a girl/guy like you before?

[coachTanthony]

Yes

No

[sage2021]

My then boyfriend used to say that to me ALL the time and I had to ask him to not say it so much anymore. It was just the way he would say it.

When you think about it, it's a stupid thing to say. Of course he's never met anyone like you before - duh! You've lived different lives, you each know different things..
Shoot, I've never met anyone like me before and I never will.
It's a sad pick up line. Oh, you're different. Of course you are.
This one guy told me I was "The total package". He'd say, you're smart, funny good looking and sexy. Well, after seven months of listening to his bullshit, we went to bed again. He asked me something about a song called dashboard passion. I hadn't. He went home, and I never heard from him again. Good riddance!
Anyway, every human being is different and I hate to disappoint the guy, but he will never meet anyone like you again. It's physically impossible.

It's not a red flag but a stupid mistake to tell someone something like that unless the person has completely fallen for you and tends to turn everything you said into something positive. Glorification... etc.

[IceCreamSandwich]

Yes. If you want to compliment someone, be specific. I've never met someone as adventurous as you, as funny, or as smart. Whatever it is that you like about them.

Being vague and gendering it like that can easily give the wrong impression (or right impression) that you think most people of their gender are just not very good, and they should feel special because you like them. That's not a good dynamic to set up in a relationship.

[pickles77]

There was one girl that was like me in so many ways it was freaky but I would mean those words to her

[NathanDavis]

I wouldn't see it as any flag...

I'd just let them elaborate on it

I'll tell you though... would very much prefer that they had met someone as good as the good, first impressions of me... lol

because if they haven't, then I would wonder why was it so relevant to point out otherwise...

[Massageman]

No, but it's not exactly the most information-packed sentence either, without some further explanation as to the "why" that they said it.

[coachTanthony]

Well to impress you and make you feel special so in return maybe you start feeling such a way about them.

[Massageman]

I suppose I could woke-out and say that "everyone is unique", but that's obvious. The problem with society is that many want to see/force people act the same. If they said it, I would hope that their reason was nice and simple- as you suggest- and had no hidden baggage with it. :- )

[coachTanthony]

I have a quirky sense of humor so if someone told me that and said it was my quirky sense of humor then great I would believe them but if they don't have an answer and say I just can't put my finger on it then I think that might be sus.

[Ms_Facesitter]

It's not a red flag, but I'd find it pretty weird. I've met many people like me. Or he didn't bother searching and meeting people or it's a romantic line he thinks would work.

[Still-alive]

in my opinion its usually the latter one you just said lol. they are trying to be romantic

[Ms_Facesitter]

I don't like it at all :(

[scooogy]

@Ms_Facesitter why wouldn't you want to view yourself as unique? I've met women who didn't want me to compare them with others.

[Ms_Facesitter]

@scooogy Apart from DNA, I'm sure there are people with similar likes and dislikes out there, similar way of thinking, ... I don't think we're that unique at all. Maybe in within our own circle but outside that, no.

[scooogy]

@Ms_Facesitter on the other hand I like to think of how I got to know her and share the memories with her, no matter whoever might be similar to her.

[DizzyDesii]

Damn right they ain't never met a girl like me. Better recognize

[Anemone978]

Yes.. Most people are liars.. Guys like to say what they think you want to hear. If a guy told me that I would have my guard up..

[Itreallydoesntmatter]

Tbh, I can't differentiate White and Black American women at all. It's like there's been 1 person cloned millions of times. They each only have about 3 outfits (if that), same hairdo, same political views, same public attitude, listen to the same music, talk the same, etc. I can't differentiate them at all, there's nothing unique in virtually all of them now.

[colaman94]

Oh I said yes. Lol. Now I'm second guessing lol 😂😆

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I would hope it was a compliment.

[Anonymous]

Yes and no I guess it depend on their age, if they're in their mid 20s or older I would find it odd (like maybe they're were not interested in dating just fooling around) but then again I never dated anybody ever and I'm 25 cause I'm super shy / awkward so never dare to do anything with anybody or even talk to people.

I wouldn't mind it as long as they're not those kind of guy doing ONS

[RedInnocent68]

No. It probably means they really like, like really like you, and not that you’re just exceptionally weird.

[Jasmin01]

This is exactly what I expect.

[coachTanthony]

lol.

[Sparkie460]

I see it as a compliment if someone says that to me

[Kingofkings1992]

I would take that as a compliment

[coachTanthony]

I would assume they say that to everyone or they don't get out much lol

[Shark_61695]

Nope, I'm unique (just like everyone else)

[Nikki1989]

That is cheesy BS if ever I heard it.

[BoopBoopBeep]

There are no men like me. Only me.

[coachTanthony]

LOL ok Loki

[BoopBoopBeep]

Close... that was Jamie Lannister

[Prettywhenicryy]

It just sounds like a fake line

[lightbulb27]

no, it just leads to more questions.

[Pohjolan]

I'm not normal so no.

[BarryLiverstone]

That’s being said by everyone. Doesn’t mean much
