Hi, what about: “I’ve never felt this way about anyone” ?

The first sentence should read:
"I've never felt about anyone the way I feel about this girl."
#1 expresses strong feelings about the girl, most likely feelings of affection.
#2 expresses concern about the girl. Maybe she is suffering or in some sort of trouble.

Both sentences are grammatically correct and have the same meaning. The difference is in the preposition used after the verb "feel".
In the first sentence, "about" is used after "feel", which is a common preposition used to indicate the subject or thing that a feeling is directed towards.
In the second sentence, "for" is used after "feel", which is also a preposition indicating the person or thing that the feeling is directed towards.
So, both sentences convey the same meaning and can be used interchangeably. It ultimately comes down to personal preference or which one sounds better in the context of the sentence.
