Love Letters

Do people still write them to those they love/like? or is too old fashioned, saved for V-day, or over run by sms? i guess the waiting game gets kinda frustrating, not knowing..

ive written my crush a note to give him the next time i see him..fingers crossed.
what do you think of this>> 'it's just the nearness of you' too corny? vague but not? what do you think he's reaction could be?

i love receiving letters, whether they be with romantic or friendship intentions. makes you feel extra special, and that feeling you get before opening it is ineffable :)

when was the last time you received or wrote one?

i havnt written one to a friend since school (last year) and havn't received one either :p

i've never really written a letter to any guys, usually just female friends (pretty boring, i know).. but my friend used to write letters to guys and i felt sorry for them cause they had to write back and had no idea what she was going on about.. :p

Last time I wrote a letter a fair few months later we had a fight and gues what my beautiful poetry was distributed round my school - all the boys had so much fun with it and part of has become one of the big jokes of our year. So if u do make sure u never have a fight with her or alternatively just avoid it!

I think they would be flattered or take it as a joke

I know I would love to get one, especially if he has no idea that you like him, i think it would be a nice suprise

i was a big letter writer in high school cause i found that i was more able to convey what i wanted to say through text then through speech. i tend to have long silent moments thinking about what to say and with text i can word it how i want it to so i can alter how it is interpreted, plus it was exciting wondering what the letter was about. i have two letter books to close female friends...which reminds me that i should start replying to them.
it does get tedious though. even friends couldn't be bothered writing in them. these days i blog instead cause i don't have to level of trust i once had with opening up my feelings and worries like i use to. but i still like receiving letters...they're cool.

I write letters, usually only if im going away and im not going to see my bf for over a week or something we write each other letters so we can read them when we're apart. I dunno why i do it i just feel like i can express so much more on paper than i ever could through talking. And if its a good letter, then you can keep it forever :)

i love receiving and writing letters myself! i used to write all the time, until my friends stopped replying and started emailing. but i think this special guy you have feelings for would feel pretty special and get the idea - unless he has no clue at all. but he does have some idea about how you feel about him, right?

Letters are mad!!!

i'd love to receive a letter as wel.. but you gotta make sure that no one gets their slimy hands on it afterwards. cause it would be quite embarassing if the whole school finds out. and also make sure its sent to teh right person. or else little complications would arise... :p

on a personal note as a guy, just load on the notes. i'm fine with notes. as lengstar said, it is easier to express your feelings through text rather than speech. when you want to tell them, you could elay it, while on paper, it's written. it's like a contract if you got my meaning. then in those situations. you won't put it off. like changing what you were going to say.

hail the letter writers.........uummm yeh...just give him the note. he'd enjoy the note, and let's just hopehe doesn't take it as a joke, though most guys don't :cool:

Just remember that whatever you put in writing can come around and haunt you one day... I've never been a fan of writing letters to a crush, but I would only rather write letters to a person you're already in a relationship with.

I must agree it is quite embarassing when the whole school finds out, tho if it has something funny in it - it can become quite humorous after some time
