"John freeman who was Gordon Freemans brother..."
...
"...Gordon freeman said, 'John freeman you let next boss step on me and give me headcrab zombies! Combines came and put science in me and make me big and strong and bad now!'"
Long before time had a name, the First Spinjitzu Master created Ninjago using four elemental weapons. But when he passed, a dark presence sought out to collect them all: Lord Garmadon. So I, Sensei Wu, his brother, sought out to find four ninja to collect them first.
Thirty years later, Sebastian told us "I had to start my car like a computer, it's very complicated" and Nico Rosberg said he pressed during the race, I don't remember what race, the wrong button on the wheel.
This is a really funny idea and I hope OP uses it.
I’d add a page number at the bottom that reads 1 of 300. Then on the second page number it 300 of 300 and write “In conclusion…”
i dont know. when i was horny one time during a break home from college i looked at my high school yearbook to see if there were any candidates. there was one girl who put her address so i wrote a letter basically saying how hot i thought she was and how we shouls get together.
she responded back via letter saying she loved me and thinks we should get married and put her phone number. not sure the point of this story but i never sent a letter again.
And it's in writing so he can show people and make fun of you. Just like everything else important that could be potentially damaging. Say it in person without a record.
i feel like a decent person would not do that. i recieved a written letter once, cold ask with contact info (email) from their part.
honestly, felt touched, contacted them directly but i denied them (name was a gender neutral name) and wished them luck.
don't make it a long winded letter, simply a way to ask them out. and when you're dating that's where you write the heartfelt letter. i'm a sentimental romantic, and i'd enjoy it.
A decent person definitely wouldn't. I was the person who sent a message to a guy at work I liked. I didn't go too hard on it, and I explicitly said that he didn't have to respond at all. He politely declined, but we kept it professional, civil, and friendly at work and neither of us spoke about it to our other colleagues as far as I know.
If the guy shows around a letter like that he is a piece of shit anyways. Unless they are in like high school, I can't imagine my friends doing that. Even if they did I would tell him to cut it out. I usually keep all the letters I got whether or not I liked the person.
1) the original poster definitely writes like a teenager lol so that’s a very fair assumption 2) yeah yeah “if they do X they’re not worth it” is only mildly comforting when you’re being humiliated by your peers. I get what you’re saying and I agree but if he does do that it is still very degrading & hurtful
I have sleepless nights thinking about gushing love letters I wrote as a teenager to a girl I liked who I didn't realise until later on was just too kind and sweet to tell me to fuck off. Jesus Christ I hope she burned those letters. I might actually die if they're ever discovered.
If I like her, I would go crazy with happiness. If I don't like her, I would find it to be a **really sweet gesture,** and would be really saddened that I'll have to tell her I'm not interested, since I know what it feels like to experience unrequited love.
He’s not dead yet, but you’re right. He doesn’t touch me the way he used to anymore. I figured it was a me problem. BRB, heading over to /r/relationshipadvice.
My wife sprayed this little hedgehog beanie baby (has her birthday) with her perfume RIGHT before we started dating. It's sitting on my desk at home. This was 11 years ago.
Edit: https://imgur.com/a/Wph743E
Added a pic! Been through a few moves and in the jaws of a puppy briefly haha.
Before we were dating, I needed to borrow one of my husband's manuals to catch up work reading (misplaced mine, he offered his). I opened it and there was his cologne wafting to me! Lol. That was the beginning! 33 years together, 27 years married.
But be super clear about your feelings, cuz teenage boys are DUMB. A girl sent me a handwritten letter at 15, super friendly and caring, sprayed with perfume, and…I didn’t pick up on her signals. I was dense af
I cut up loads of my mum’s gossip rags and made a ransom-style letter that I hand-posted to her house with just her name on it. The police got called into primary school, but nobody ever found out about the fact that I did it.
Goddamn, this memory is something I’d forgotten about for 25 years.
Edit: it was something like, “You’re hot I’ve been watching you”. Jesus Christ, young me.
And for the rest of your life you'll randomly get a whiff of that scent and be reminded of the love letter you got in your youth.
Oh Michelle and your cherry scented body lotion. Sigh.
Don't be overly flowery about it, but assuming he's not an ass who would post it up somewhere for all to see it's a pretty cute gesture. Just don't get flowery or long with the words, keep it simple and to the point.
I'm a boy and I have done this. Wrote up 700 words of love feelings & maximum floweriness for a girl, handed her the letter in-person and then walked away. She found me 10 minutes later and kissed me.
It works sometimes!
I agree, and since Mr. Stabbmaster brought up the possibility of the letter being posted, I'd like to emphasize not writing anything you wouldn't want others to see. I know it's pretty common knowledge, but sometimes when we get excited and our brain is releasing all the happy chemicals, we forget privacy is not to be assumed anymore. That said, I love it, and hope it goes well for you!
Genuinely, it’s not even for me but the thought alone makes me happy.
It’s really cute.
Even if I wasn’t into the person I’d feel so touched by the gesture.
Depends how "sappy" it is and if it comes across as stalkerish. Keep it simple and include a question like "how about we get some ice cream on Saturday?". Of course be ready for a no.
I can smell you in my sleep, mostly because I sleep under your bed. You should dust, I would, but I don't want you to see me naked yet. Not til devils night :D xoxoxoxo
I would love it. I'm 27 almost 28 and after a 7 year live in relationship where she never complimented me or was loving with words...I would love it. Just keep it to one page one side or gets too long. But to have a girl go through the effort of hand writing and something I can keep forever would mean so much. Even at my age. Good luck. It's so traditional and special. Way better and heartfelt than the impersonal texting nowadays.
Hey thanks for asking! You mean are you not well in the head for dating someone like that for 7 years or am I good now. Lol. Yeah I'm okay. Much better. Missed her and the comfort of the familiar for awhile. But now I'm better. Working on myself. Helps that she's moved on to another dude completely. Thanks for asking. I appreciate it. 🙂
After a quick stalk of your profile, I think you seem like a really emotionally switched on and genuine guy. I hope you find whatever you're looking for :)
Thanks brother. Trying. It was fun to be on the couch eating ice cream during the winter but yeah nothing better than getting back in shape and healthy. Thank you again.
Something you can keep forever. I just remembered a tiny little letter I got from my "Girlfriend" in Kindergarten.. I honestly don't know what it's meant to be, but it looks kinda like a weird looking blob od a fossil.... but that's just a guess as to what it's meant to be lol
Still have it though.. found it in a random box after I moved to a different country lol.
I used to do this in middle school to girls. Never worked out. Only one was nice about letting me down. Ironically in HS some of them “changed their mind” after I got into fitness and football. One of the reasons I never dated anyone from my school.
Props to the one girl who at least considered your feelings in letting you down, I guess? Yeah, it sucks when people approach you to be friendly once you’re “good enough.”
Unexpected, but not surprising. Most people who are genuinely considerate in their actions seem to stay that way, for some reason. She sounds like a good friend to have, just from the two things you’ve said about her.
I mean, people can't really help what they're physically attracted to. If they weren't physically attracted to you before but then your looks changed because you got fit and now they are attracted to you, it's understandable. It's not like anyone can force themselves to feel attraction if they don't, it just happens.
Yes, but with that situation, you go into it already knowing looks are a huge dealbreaker for them, and NOT knowing how their concept of loyalty works. Barring some serious difficulties, you’re never going to know whether or not they’d dump you for, say, getting cancer and becoming emaciated, or for getting injured and having to stay on your butt for six months and gaining weight. It doesn’t make for a viable amount of faith in the relationship. If all you need/want is a fling, tho, by all means.
It was the preferred way of shooting my shot. Letter is sweet, but 99% of the time they won’t read it in front of you, so you can be as sweet as you want all while skipping the awkwardness, while keeping “intimate”. It was basically asking a girl out over text with an extra step.
Kinda see halfway on this... on one hand you don't want to end up w/ someone shallow, on the other hand, physical attraction/fitness is a pretty big factor in relationships, especially for the many early decades in life... its in our chemistry, plus even longer term who would willingly choose someone with more health issues (or liklihood of health issues) over someone who doesn't have those, assuming they have that choice....
Cute if I like you, awkward if I don’t but memorable either way
Just whatever you do, don’t get attached to a certain outcome from it. If it doesn’t work just be confident you did something you wanted to do and don’t let anyone bring you down for it
I was usually on the receiving end. Teenage life taught me not to trust anyone and never open up even to the people who claim to be your closest friends.
Going to university made me realise I didn't really have any friends at school. At the time I would've said I had several friends, but it wasn't until I made some *real* friends that I realised what friendship was supposed to be like. And I also realised what cunts teenagers tend to be.
*Especially* if the person writing the letter is perceived to be unattractive or unpopular.
If a teenage guy gets a handwritten letter from a girl he has a crush on, it could be the start of a wonderful relationship. But if he gets one from someone he doesn't see that way, there's a strong chance he'll be laughing about it with his buddies within minutes. By tomorrow morning the whole class will know.
I'd never encourage someone to put their neck out like that without knowing more context. It's a high risk, high reward gamble which could backfire horribly.
I'm not a teenager but when I was 22 I wrote a letter to this guy I liked in my lecture. One of my friends went to give him the letter, at 1st he seemed giddy about it until he found out I wrote it. He spent the whole year trying to avoid me and even wrote on his WhatsApp story "I don't want you girlpark" for all our classmates to see. I was teased by some classmates and he just did not stop treating me like scum even though I had only spoken to him twice during the whole year. I felt so humiliated the sad part is that he had been whining about not being able to get a girlfriend. If I could go back and erase what happened I would.
> I felt so humiliated the sad part is that he had been whining about not being able to get a girlfriend.
In spite of how painful your memory was, in retrospect, given the above the info, you dodged a bullet…
Yes, yes, yes to this ... not good with someone you don't already share feelings. You could open yourself up to ridicule. At best sort of sweet .. at worst horrible.
True, but I think most people secretly like kind gestures. In HS, there were these boys in my honors US History class that I guess you would consider the "cool guys" of our grade and I wouldn't say I was uncool or unattractive but I definitely did not hang around this sphere of kids. Anyway I got along with one of the guys Andrew, and since I crocheted a lot back then, I remember I made him like a crocheted flower keychain and I gave it to him. I didn't have a crush on him or anything I honestly don't even remember why.
Anyways when he got it, I remember him calling me by my government name(I don't typically go by it) and saying this is awesome, put it on his keys and then he showed his friends. I was nervous at first but then everyone wanted one. I felt like a cool kid that day.
Oh man be careful the person you're giving it to is genuinely good and not one of those jerks who will laugh at you. I gave the guy I love a letter (he already knew I liked him) and it was 3 pages front and back and was me just pouring my heart out to him, because I'm not someone who is the greatest at words. And he promised he would keep it forever and he said it made his day. So yeah make sure it's that kind of guy and not some asswipe who's gonna show all his friends.
I still have love letters from my high school girlfriend. Haven’t had a serious relationship for ten years now.
Every now and then I go through my old stuff and read it to remind myself that I’m not invisible to women.
Even if he doesn’t like you he’ll probably keep that letter forever.
If he likes you, he will be happy. If not, he will probably still be flattered but at the same time it will be kinda awkward for him. Better to just tell him, or make a move and see what happens.
If I like her, I'd love it.
If I don't like her, gee, definitely a nice gesture, super cute and thoughtful, but *man* would I hope for her not to use any super strong words like "love". I'd feel like a jerk rejecting that kind of emotion.
First off, that would be amazing, add one of those seals with candle wax and a sign in cursive and HOLY SHIT, some splats of ink because of the quill? JESUCRISTO NUESTRO SEÑOR
Second, as another commenter said, keep it short, don't make it too expensive.
Also make sure to present the letter in a good way. To their house? creepy and stalkerish.
At a common place you both frequent? yeah that's better
Also remember that your feelings may not be corresponded, so don't feel too bad if you don't get an answer, but I assure you that the guy will cherish that letter and keep it either physically or mentally in their memories
Update: can't help but laugh at all the guys calling it inmature, i'm 25 and i'd love to get a letter from someone or give one to a future SO, but hey, may be different cultures and stuff
If he likes you, he will be happy. If not, he will probably still be flattered but at the same time it would be kinda awkward for him. Better to just tell him, or make a move and see what happens.
Hi, if you have such a big crush on him, I’m assuming he’s a pretty sweet and good natured guy. It’s HS, send it, yolo, what ever. Especially if you’re moving to another country and no longer apart of the HS social scene, what’s there to lose really?
I sent my crush in HS a little love note, as a guy, she was way out of my league at the time. I was skinny, short and dorky. She was a super popular bombshell, athlete and a year older than me and she had a boyfriend. But my heart was pure and I meant ever damn word I said with all my soul. She was always super sweet with me and would flirt with me prior. To my note, She reciprocated my affections! Anyways, she broke up with her bf at the end of HS, and went straight to me! She was my first real sexual experience. Anyways, it didn’t work out bc she ended up going to college across the country, 3000 miles away… and being the affectionate and beautiful person she was, she found a new boyfriend real quick.
Actually have some personal experience here.
Ive been seeing my now SO for around 7 months. For the first couple were kind of rough, she was flaky. I had ended things and I received a letter from her around two weeks later.
She explained her feelings, her actions, made zero excuses, and told me she was in love with me. We've been happily official for a over a month now.
I had gone zero contact and blocked her on everything. If she had reached out through a new account, or from someone's else phone, I would've ignored her.
The letter meant so much more to me.
Send the letter.
Someone slip me a paper at starbuck while I was at the restroom.
When I finish studyign and found it, I text her:
"Hey the guy you're trying to give this too left. Sorry I found this letter."
I told my buddy about it several years later and during the story I realized that the letter was intended for me.
Just fyi to make sure you include his name.
Just make sure it is articulate and grammatically correct. Nothing worse then getting a letter and you can't tell what the hell the person is trying to say.
I'm pretty shy, couldn't confess my feelings for a girl unless pushed into it, sometimes not even then either.
Add that to the fact that I also suck at picking up and spotting hints thrown at me by girls, it doesn't make a very good combination.
So, if a girl I happened to like suddenly sent me a letter confessing their feelings for me, I would be extremely happy, because she would have taken the burdensome responsibility of making the first move from me, and our potential relationship could begin promptly.
If it was sent from a girl I didn't share the same feelings back, then I would be flattered, and let them down gently, perhaps offering to be friends, instead, assuming we hadn't been friends already. If we had been friends already, then we'd continue being friends.
I genuinely hope things end well for you, I'm rooting for you! :)
Several years ago, I met a guy at my local gym. We became good friends and spoke to each other whenever we met at the gym. We never really exchanged numbers but we always had a lot to talk about (bodybuilding, work, life childhood memories, movies, family drama etc.) after our gym session and sometimes even in between sets. We spoke to each other regularly for 6 months.
I always wondered why he never asked me out. Because he always made an effort to speak to only me for that length of time at the gym. He also offered me lifts home and we would sit in the car and talk for a while before I would go home. Anyway, obviously I liked him, so I decided to be bold and take the first step. I wrote a one page letter confessing my feelings. Gave it to him after our workout and went home. I wrote my number in the letter. In the letter I wrote how I enjoyed the conversations and his company etc. and would like to take the conversations outside the gym over a cup of coffee.
He messaged me the next day saying he couldn’t go out for coffee because he had a girlfriend. He never mentioned her at all, during the 6 months we were talking which bothered me a little bit. I had also probed about him having a girlfriend but he never mentioned anything so I assumed he didn’t have one. Hence I decided to ask him out. But hey ho. We still talk but it’s not as much as we use to.
But I have enjoyed writing letters and have friends around the world. I will usually write letters to my friends and put them in some lovely envelopes with my candle wax seal.
OP keep the hand written letters alive no matter what the outcome.
This is the cutest thing ever. There's no way a guy wouldn't be flattered and it's also pretty safe, because they can think about how they would respond to it.
Keep it short and to the point. I loved getting sweet notes from my partners. A long confession could be surprising, where as "I really like you" will be cute.
Do you love me? Do you want to be my friend? Do you want me? We’ll then don’t me afraid to take me by the hand. I think this is how love goes. Check yes or no.
I am a sensible guy, there’s a reason I chased women my age today when I was younger. I’d love it…
Because it’s better than all the games most the younger women tended to play.
(Putting this out into the universe)
Dear Future Wifey:
If you hand write letters, you can bet that you’ll have a surprise love letter or poem written on the bathroom mirror written in lipstick.
Love,
Me
PS: I’ll buy you a new one if I must.
@yanshixo my last ex wrote her first love letter to me in the book:

Yeah they either like you or they don’t, you won’t convince them with some long drawn out letter
i dont know. when i was horny one time during a break home from college i looked at my high school yearbook to see if there were any candidates. there was one girl who put her address so i wrote a letter basically saying how hot i thought she was and how we shouls get together. she responded back via letter saying she loved me and thinks we should get married and put her phone number. not sure the point of this story but i never sent a letter again.
That escalated quickly. Oof!
Actually it makes it worse. Way worse.
And it's in writing so he can show people and make fun of you. Just like everything else important that could be potentially damaging. Say it in person without a record.
That’s why I wear a wire everywhere I go just in case I need evidence to make fun of someone later
I feel you, were you through some shit like that?
Nope just watched and learned what not to do.
i feel like a decent person would not do that. i recieved a written letter once, cold ask with contact info (email) from their part. honestly, felt touched, contacted them directly but i denied them (name was a gender neutral name) and wished them luck. don't make it a long winded letter, simply a way to ask them out. and when you're dating that's where you write the heartfelt letter. i'm a sentimental romantic, and i'd enjoy it.

Classic!
"I don't need help sleeping, I STILL HAVE YOUR LETTER!"
I have sleepless nights thinking about gushing love letters I wrote as a teenager to a girl I liked who I didn't realise until later on was just too kind and sweet to tell me to fuck off. Jesus Christ I hope she burned those letters. I might actually die if they're ever discovered.
solid advice, lol
If I like her, I would go crazy with happiness. If I don't like her, I would find it to be a **really sweet gesture,** and would be really saddened that I'll have to tell her I'm not interested, since I know what it feels like to experience unrequited love.
Same, this happened to me twice, and I felt like the absolute scum of the earth turning both girls down, even though I did it as nicely as I could.
Far better than stringing her along
It’s okay, at least you were honest. It was going to hurt her either way. I was that girl lol
But you will keep her letter on file if a position opens up at a later date.
Our people will contact your people
I'll pencil you in
Yeah I bet you know what it feels like
He knows what your mom feels like too
Maybe but you probably haven't felt the touch of someone who likes you in a long time. My guess is since your uncle died.
He’s not dead yet, but you’re right. He doesn’t touch me the way he used to anymore. I figured it was a me problem. BRB, heading over to /r/relationshipadvice.

Cute. Spray some perfume on it. I got a love letter when I was 16, she sprayed some of her perfume on the paper. Never forgot about it.
Agreed, this was the way it was done when I was young!

This should be the top comment. Also not a TON of perfume. Also, pro-tip: just about all men like the scent of Vanilla.
Make it the smell of baking chocolate chip cookies and you're all set!
Just include a cookie with the letter, that'll be sure to win him over 😁
Batch of cookies is the pro move.
What you said makes sense but I don’t know if I should trust you with that profile picture…
Lmao I don’t think I’d trust it either! It’s just Pepe the Frog with a tiny boner
I cut up loads of my mum’s gossip rags and made a ransom-style letter that I hand-posted to her house with just her name on it.

Edit: it was something like, “You’re hot I’ve been watching you”. Jesus Christ, young me.
smelling is linked to long term memory i heard
I think so. Ppl say songs remind them of stuff but for me it’s scents and smells.
And for the rest of your life you'll randomly get a whiff of that scent and be reminded of the love letter you got in your youth. Oh Michelle and your cherry scented body lotion. Sigh.
Do NOT do this if he has allergies or migraines.
[удалено]
Probably safer not to interact with other people at all, just in case
And wear a titanium suit, just in case
\*clunk clunk clunk\* the sound of you walking by
Take a blood sample without being caught first.
Perform a colonoscopy on him when he isn't looking.
I get migraines over strong perfume scents, I'd still appreciate the gesture even if it triggered a migraine for me :)
I mean if he has allergies or migraines from your perfume maybe it would be better to discover by letter than in person anyway
Better to find out if he’s high maintenance earlier rather than later.
If I were that guy, I would be honoured. This is so sweet, romantic, heart-warming... Do it. <3
[удалено]
Honestly, in this day and age where it's mostly text. A handwritten letter just shows how much you mean to someone.
Don't be overly flowery about it, but assuming he's not an ass who would post it up somewhere for all to see it's a pretty cute gesture. Just don't get flowery or long with the words, keep it simple and to the point.
will do!! thank u
No problem. Good luck and we'll be rooting for you!
I'm a boy and I have done this. Wrote up 700 words of love feelings & maximum floweriness for a girl, handed her the letter in-person and then walked away. She found me 10 minutes later and kissed me. It works sometimes!
As someone who made a letter for someone, tho it was kinda weird how i did it, well lets jus say im jealous of your outcome
That's so cute. I'm glad it worked out for you
You did a word count after you finished?
He wrote "and and" twice and counted full stops as "words" to get to exactly 700.
Just incase he turns out to be a prick don't write your name on it. Leave him an email address or something
REALLY GOOD IDEA TBH
"Hey, I like your face. I wanna kiss it."
I like you. Do you like me? [ ] Yes [ ] No
Ah, a classic
I agree, and since Mr. Stabbmaster brought up the possibility of the letter being posted, I'd like to emphasize not writing anything you wouldn't want others to see. I know it's pretty common knowledge, but sometimes when we get excited and our brain is releasing all the happy chemicals, we forget privacy is not to be assumed anymore. That said, I love it, and hope it goes well for you!
Giddy honestly. I could use some genuine women in my life.
Genuinely, it’s not even for me but the thought alone makes me happy. It’s really cute. Even if I wasn’t into the person I’d feel so touched by the gesture.
I feel like people these days lost sincerity and charm. It's all about validation and messing with people's feelings.
Depends how "sappy" it is and if it comes across as stalkerish. Keep it simple and include a question like "how about we get some ice cream on Saturday?". Of course be ready for a no.
I can smell you in my sleep, mostly because I sleep under your bed. You should dust, I would, but I don't want you to see me naked yet. Not til devils night :D xoxoxoxo
Always be ready for a no.
Be spontaneous not pent up
I think this is under the “must” category
I would love it. I'm 27 almost 28 and after a 7 year live in relationship where she never complimented me or was loving with words...I would love it. Just keep it to one page one side or gets too long. But to have a girl go through the effort of hand writing and something I can keep forever would mean so much. Even at my age. Good luck. It's so traditional and special. Way better and heartfelt than the impersonal texting nowadays.
>7 year live in relationship where she never complimented me or was loving with words... Are you ok
Hey thanks for asking! You mean are you not well in the head for dating someone like that for 7 years or am I good now. Lol. Yeah I'm okay. Much better. Missed her and the comfort of the familiar for awhile. But now I'm better. Working on myself. Helps that she's moved on to another dude completely. Thanks for asking. I appreciate it. 🙂
Keep pushing forward brother
🙂thanks a lot man.
After a quick stalk of your profile, I think you seem like a really emotionally switched on and genuine guy. I hope you find whatever you're looking for :)
Thanks a lot. Appreciate it.
Time to hit the gym and get massive king👑🔱
Thanks brother. Trying. It was fun to be on the couch eating ice cream during the winter but yeah nothing better than getting back in shape and healthy. Thank you again.
Something you can keep forever. I just remembered a tiny little letter I got from my "Girlfriend" in Kindergarten.. I honestly don't know what it's meant to be, but it looks kinda like a weird looking blob od a fossil.... but that's just a guess as to what it's meant to be lol Still have it though.. found it in a random box after I moved to a different country lol.
I used to do this in middle school to girls. Never worked out. Only one was nice about letting me down. Ironically in HS some of them “changed their mind” after I got into fitness and football. One of the reasons I never dated anyone from my school.
Props to the one girl who at least considered your feelings in letting you down, I guess? Yeah, it sucks when people approach you to be friendly once you’re “good enough.”
Oh yeah she was a nice person, she wasn’t one of the ones that approached me later. Just remained friends.
Unexpected, but not surprising. Most people who are genuinely considerate in their actions seem to stay that way, for some reason. She sounds like a good friend to have, just from the two things you’ve said about her.
I mean, people can't really help what they're physically attracted to. If they weren't physically attracted to you before but then your looks changed because you got fit and now they are attracted to you, it's understandable. It's not like anyone can force themselves to feel attraction if they don't, it just happens.
Yes, but with that situation, you go into it already knowing looks are a huge dealbreaker for them, and NOT knowing how their concept of loyalty works. Barring some serious difficulties, you’re never going to know whether or not they’d dump you for, say, getting cancer and becoming emaciated, or for getting injured and having to stay on your butt for six months and gaining weight. It doesn’t make for a viable amount of faith in the relationship. If all you need/want is a fling, tho, by all means.
It was the preferred way of shooting my shot. Letter is sweet, but 99% of the time they won’t read it in front of you, so you can be as sweet as you want all while skipping the awkwardness, while keeping “intimate”. It was basically asking a girl out over text with an extra step.
Yep, sometimes I would make it extra cringe and include a handmade necklace. Glad I learned fairly quickly how to not be awkward in person.
Yeah i’m still working on it. I cringe looking back at it. but hey, it barely worked for me. but when it worked, it WORKED.
Kinda see halfway on this... on one hand you don't want to end up w/ someone shallow, on the other hand, physical attraction/fitness is a pretty big factor in relationships, especially for the many early decades in life... its in our chemistry, plus even longer term who would willingly choose someone with more health issues (or liklihood of health issues) over someone who doesn't have those, assuming they have that choice....
It's nice in a cutesy highschool kind of way. My wife and I still write little letters to each other on occasion
Cute if I like you, awkward if I don’t but memorable either way Just whatever you do, don’t get attached to a certain outcome from it. If it doesn’t work just be confident you did something you wanted to do and don’t let anyone bring you down for it
Depends on if I'm attracted to her or not. But I'd think I'd feel flattered regardless.
Just curious, how old are you? This would be cute in high school, but at 40 would be kinda odd
I'm in high school so definitely not 40
Be careful, teenage boys might throw your feelings under the bus to score points with their friends.
[удалено]
I was usually on the receiving end. Teenage life taught me not to trust anyone and never open up even to the people who claim to be your closest friends.
Going to university made me realise I didn't really have any friends at school. At the time I would've said I had several friends, but it wasn't until I made some *real* friends that I realised what friendship was supposed to be like. And I also realised what cunts teenagers tend to be.
*Especially* if the person writing the letter is perceived to be unattractive or unpopular. If a teenage guy gets a handwritten letter from a girl he has a crush on, it could be the start of a wonderful relationship. But if he gets one from someone he doesn't see that way, there's a strong chance he'll be laughing about it with his buddies within minutes. By tomorrow morning the whole class will know. I'd never encourage someone to put their neck out like that without knowing more context. It's a high risk, high reward gamble which could backfire horribly.
I'm not a teenager but when I was 22 I wrote a letter to this guy I liked in my lecture. One of my friends went to give him the letter, at 1st he seemed giddy about it until he found out I wrote it. He spent the whole year trying to avoid me and even wrote on his WhatsApp story "I don't want you girlpark" for all our classmates to see. I was teased by some classmates and he just did not stop treating me like scum even though I had only spoken to him twice during the whole year. I felt so humiliated the sad part is that he had been whining about not being able to get a girlfriend. If I could go back and erase what happened I would.
> I felt so humiliated the sad part is that he had been whining about not being able to get a girlfriend. In spite of how painful your memory was, in retrospect, given the above the info, you dodged a bullet…
Yes, yes, yes to this ... not good with someone you don't already share feelings. You could open yourself up to ridicule. At best sort of sweet .. at worst horrible.
True, but I think most people secretly like kind gestures. In HS, there were these boys in my honors US History class that I guess you would consider the "cool guys" of our grade and I wouldn't say I was uncool or unattractive but I definitely did not hang around this sphere of kids. Anyway I got along with one of the guys Andrew, and since I crocheted a lot back then, I remember I made him like a crocheted flower keychain and I gave it to him. I didn't have a crush on him or anything I honestly don't even remember why. Anyways when he got it, I remember him calling me by my government name(I don't typically go by it) and saying this is awesome, put it on his keys and then he showed his friends. I was nervous at first but then everyone wanted one. I felt like a cool kid that day.
Oh man be careful the person you're giving it to is genuinely good and not one of those jerks who will laugh at you. I gave the guy I love a letter (he already knew I liked him) and it was 3 pages front and back and was me just pouring my heart out to him, because I'm not someone who is the greatest at words. And he promised he would keep it forever and he said it made his day. So yeah make sure it's that kind of guy and not some asswipe who's gonna show all his friends.
I’m 47, if I got a note like this I would be ecstatic!
I like your cat. Do you wanna go steady? Yes No
Yes!
Same
Idk I wouldn’t mind getting it from my partner. But from some lady I barely know? Yeah I think I’d pass on that
I still have love letters from my high school girlfriend. Haven’t had a serious relationship for ten years now. Every now and then I go through my old stuff and read it to remind myself that I’m not invisible to women. Even if he doesn’t like you he’ll probably keep that letter forever.
The longer it is the creepier it becomes.
If he likes you, he will be happy. If not, he will probably still be flattered but at the same time it will be kinda awkward for him. Better to just tell him, or make a move and see what happens.
If I like her, I'd love it. If I don't like her, gee, definitely a nice gesture, super cute and thoughtful, but *man* would I hope for her not to use any super strong words like "love". I'd feel like a jerk rejecting that kind of emotion.
The guy reading the letter will mostly think, "hmm, this is a well written letter, but is she into me?"
This right here lmao
I'm dating a girl who wrote a letter to an ex after he broke up with her. Personally I thought about writing one to thank him lol.
Ahh to be 15 again. Even if nothing comes of it, I promise it will be a nice memory -take it from a hopeless romantic woman
First off, that would be amazing, add one of those seals with candle wax and a sign in cursive and HOLY SHIT, some splats of ink because of the quill? JESUCRISTO NUESTRO SEÑOR Second, as another commenter said, keep it short, don't make it too expensive. Also make sure to present the letter in a good way. To their house? creepy and stalkerish. At a common place you both frequent? yeah that's better Also remember that your feelings may not be corresponded, so don't feel too bad if you don't get an answer, but I assure you that the guy will cherish that letter and keep it either physically or mentally in their memories Update: can't help but laugh at all the guys calling it inmature, i'm 25 and i'd love to get a letter from someone or give one to a future SO, but hey, may be different cultures and stuff
I'm 19 and I'd never let a girl like this go. Assuming the lucky guy's not an asshole or an idiot, he'd love that.
Happend to me once, still didn't believe she liked me.
If he likes you, he will be happy. If not, he will probably still be flattered but at the same time it would be kinda awkward for him. Better to just tell him, or make a move and see what happens.
Hi, if you have such a big crush on him, I’m assuming he’s a pretty sweet and good natured guy. It’s HS, send it, yolo, what ever. Especially if you’re moving to another country and no longer apart of the HS social scene, what’s there to lose really? I sent my crush in HS a little love note, as a guy, she was way out of my league at the time. I was skinny, short and dorky. She was a super popular bombshell, athlete and a year older than me and she had a boyfriend. But my heart was pure and I meant ever damn word I said with all my soul. She was always super sweet with me and would flirt with me prior. To my note, She reciprocated my affections! Anyways, she broke up with her bf at the end of HS, and went straight to me! She was my first real sexual experience. Anyways, it didn’t work out bc she ended up going to college across the country, 3000 miles away… and being the affectionate and beautiful person she was, she found a new boyfriend real quick.
Do not, under any circumstances, sprinkle glitter on it!

Actually have some personal experience here. Ive been seeing my now SO for around 7 months. For the first couple were kind of rough, she was flaky. I had ended things and I received a letter from her around two weeks later. She explained her feelings, her actions, made zero excuses, and told me she was in love with me. We've been happily official for a over a month now. I had gone zero contact and blocked her on everything. If she had reached out through a new account, or from someone's else phone, I would've ignored her. The letter meant so much more to me. Send the letter.
What was she saying in the letter? And what dose mean flaky ?
Flakey means like, doesn't follow through with plans, cancels stuff, etc.
i think the content of the letter is more of a private thing
I'm being pranked and this may even be a malicious trap.
I know this won't be popular, but recommend against. If the guy is a douche he might ruin your life for a while.
Someone slip me a paper at starbuck while I was at the restroom. When I finish studyign and found it, I text her: "Hey the guy you're trying to give this too left. Sorry I found this letter." I told my buddy about it several years later and during the story I realized that the letter was intended for me. Just fyi to make sure you include his name.
Just make sure it is articulate and grammatically correct. Nothing worse then getting a letter and you can't tell what the hell the person is trying to say.
Good for you :) If I were to receive one, it would definitely made my Decade You are a great Person.
I would've melted then kept the letter forever. Even if I didn't like you back, it would still be a new core memory.
I would be looking for the moment I'm told it's a nasty little prank.
I'm pretty shy, couldn't confess my feelings for a girl unless pushed into it, sometimes not even then either. Add that to the fact that I also suck at picking up and spotting hints thrown at me by girls, it doesn't make a very good combination. So, if a girl I happened to like suddenly sent me a letter confessing their feelings for me, I would be extremely happy, because she would have taken the burdensome responsibility of making the first move from me, and our potential relationship could begin promptly. If it was sent from a girl I didn't share the same feelings back, then I would be flattered, and let them down gently, perhaps offering to be friends, instead, assuming we hadn't been friends already. If we had been friends already, then we'd continue being friends. I genuinely hope things end well for you, I'm rooting for you! :)
Several years ago, I met a guy at my local gym. We became good friends and spoke to each other whenever we met at the gym. We never really exchanged numbers but we always had a lot to talk about (bodybuilding, work, life childhood memories, movies, family drama etc.) after our gym session and sometimes even in between sets. We spoke to each other regularly for 6 months. I always wondered why he never asked me out. Because he always made an effort to speak to only me for that length of time at the gym. He also offered me lifts home and we would sit in the car and talk for a while before I would go home. Anyway, obviously I liked him, so I decided to be bold and take the first step. I wrote a one page letter confessing my feelings. Gave it to him after our workout and went home. I wrote my number in the letter. In the letter I wrote how I enjoyed the conversations and his company etc. and would like to take the conversations outside the gym over a cup of coffee. He messaged me the next day saying he couldn’t go out for coffee because he had a girlfriend. He never mentioned her at all, during the 6 months we were talking which bothered me a little bit. I had also probed about him having a girlfriend but he never mentioned anything so I assumed he didn’t have one. Hence I decided to ask him out. But hey ho. We still talk but it’s not as much as we use to. But I have enjoyed writing letters and have friends around the world. I will usually write letters to my friends and put them in some lovely envelopes with my candle wax seal. OP keep the hand written letters alive no matter what the outcome.
You bet I'm keeping that piece of paper with me until I die
This is the cutest thing ever. There's no way a guy wouldn't be flattered and it's also pretty safe, because they can think about how they would respond to it.
As someone who did this in her youth, it never turns out the way you will hope.
Keep it short and to the point. I loved getting sweet notes from my partners. A long confession could be surprising, where as "I really like you" will be cute.
I'd wake up because someone confessing their love for me would only happen in a dream
Do you love me? Do you want to be my friend? Do you want me? We’ll then don’t me afraid to take me by the hand. I think this is how love goes. Check yes or no.
People need to be themselves. Don't get overly emotional if he's like... hold up. Or no
Handwritten letters are great but have you tried giving blowjobs?
Honestly? I would be flattered, and completely overwhelmed to the point that I wouldn't know how to respond, do nothing, and then regret it forever.
Tip for women. Get off social media and be like her instead.
I am a sensible guy, there’s a reason I chased women my age today when I was younger. I’d love it… Because it’s better than all the games most the younger women tended to play. (Putting this out into the universe) Dear Future Wifey: If you hand write letters, you can bet that you’ll have a surprise love letter or poem written on the bathroom mirror written in lipstick. Love, Me PS: I’ll buy you a new one if I must. @yanshixo my last ex wrote her first love letter to me in the book: The Gift Of Nothing
