Write A Love Letter

We feel good when we make the people we love feel happy. The person you love, who loves you in return, wants to know what he or she does that makes you happy and wants you to describe those things in your own words.

Steps

1. Think of a time when you felt particularly moved by seeing your loved one. Recall the emotional and physical feelings you experienced in that moment.
   
2. Write a description of that moment including details about your feelings at the time, starting with a phrase such as, "I remember when…"
   
3. Recall two or three other experiences when you were moved by your loved one's words or actions. Add recollections of these experiences to your letter in the same way you wrote about the first one.
   

Tips

• Describe your experiences using your own words, without forcing yourself to be fancy.
  
• Exclude clichés from your letter.
  
• Exclude rhyming poetry
  
• Write two or three drafts until the letter sounds pleasing.
  
• Write your own, original words, not something you've read or heard. The most important thing of all.
  
• If you do quote something make sure to give credit for it.
  
• Read it out loud! Just because it makes sense on paper doesn't mean it will make sense when spoken.
  
• Try to Learn Calligraphy. If you think that's hard, it's not. Go to an art supply store, and get a pen, a fine nib, a thicker nib if you like, and a bottle of ink, then go slow and carefully when you write. This not only lets you think more about what you say, it also looks far more impressive.
  
• Do not use a sentence like "you are hot" or "I like you a lot" or something like that, it might make them a little uneasy.
  
• Do not explicitly refer to parts of the anatomy. This could be a turn-off. Don't use flippant language either. (Example: badunkadunks.)
  
• Cheesy can be okay, but be sure not to overdue it. Make it sweet, heartfelt, and true.
  
• Don't lie to impress. Example: Don't say "I love the way you flip your hair" to impress her/him, when thats not true. Honesty is the best policy.
  

Warnings

• Be prepared to receive a hug and a kiss after your loved one reads your letter.
  
• But hey, face it, not everyone is in to you. Don't write a love letter unless you're sure the guy/girl is into you. Writing something as heartfelt as a love letter may be too much for some people. Be prepared for a letdown, but don't absolutely expect it.
  
• Keep it simple, but hearfelt.
  
• Don't focus on yourself. This can be a major turnoff.
