That was me. I was that guy. I never loved a woman I did not think only of. I only thought of the woman I loved. Something about a guy to a girl. It was never women I loved, but only this woman. That must be the only way to be. What a great insight had Heinlein. You don't love love. You don't love an ideal. You do not love women. You love a woman and she is the only woman in the entire universe, and she is with you in love. That guy nailed it. Thou Art God.
