VeveCakes Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I love to write. I have an easier time expressing myself through writing. I've been seeing someone for 5 weeks now (we dated in highschool and briefly again in our mid 20s before I moved overseas). Anyways, I'm crazy about this guy. I've taken to writing him little love letters, he seems to enjoy them. I don't want to come on too intense though, although our relationship has been very intense from day one. What are your thoughts on receiving something like this? Cute? Nice? Too cheesy? Lame?
Redfisher Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 It's a lost art for sure...I for one would love it, Stuff like that makes you tingly. 2
ravfour4 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 If I really liked you, I'd love it. If I was unsure of you and already thought you were clingy, it'd be the final straw. If he seems to like it, he probably does, just go with it.

My fiance and I often leave each other little love notes..... sometimes he will even leave one of those "mushy" Hallmark cards ... with a hand-written inscription inside. Makes me smile every time!

FeelingFireworks Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I've only had one boyfriend who used to pen me love letters (Much like you, this was still during the electronic age of texting, emails, etc). I found them a bit corny at times but enjoyed them. Still, it wasn't until years later that I came to appreciate how sweet and thoughtful the gesture was. It may have something to do with maturity and also my increasing dislike for 'courtship texting'. I still have the letters in a box somewhere. I think the way it's received depends on the individual's love language and their bond to the sender. So if he likes them (and better yet, reciprocates) then by all means, have fun with it
d0nnivain Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 It's a delightful idea but don't go overboard. This early on it could be overwhelming.
Author VeveCakes Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 After the first one he messaged me; "You're so sexy and beautiful, thanks for the letter love you babe" So I'm assuming he liked he gesture. He left me a little note a few days later in the morning for me that was really sweet. I think he is receptive to them. We have a long history and are pretty crazy for each other as far as I can see. Just curious what others thought, so thanks so much for the replies
thecrucible Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I like love letters, as long as the thoughts expressed within them are genuine. It's definitely a lost art. I volunteer with a youth group and I can tell that the younger generation aren't as clued up in the art of letter writing. It certainly needs a revival! 1
ravfour4 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Cmon now haha it's obviously going well if that's how he responded! 1
ZA Dater Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 It's a lost art for sure...I for one would love it, Stuff like that makes you tingly. Agree 100% with you, thing though when put something down on paper one must really mean it and every time I wrote and told someone how much I like them its not really worked out well. Glad he seems to enjoy them though. 1
Michelle ma Belle Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I'm with the camp who says it's a lost art so enjoy the process while you can but as already mentioned, just be careful not to go too overboard too soon. A lifetime together is a long time after all 1

MovingOnIsHard Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Yay all the way! I also love to write. Im an avid fountain pen and paper lover. My bf lives 30 min away from each other but ive sent him the odd 2 letters via snail mail.. He loves them! He says they are extra special and it gives him a warm feeling. Although he isnt a fan of writing, It's made him think of writing back to me. We will be going to a letter writing club next month together 1
Author VeveCakes Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 As long as your bf loves them what difference does it make what people on some forum think about them? It was more a question of general thoughts, not just whether or not mine will like them He really loved the one I left him last night
