Love Letters

Are you coming here looking for love letters? For romantic letters? Well, I am not going to give you any of them. Why? I believe that original romantic letters are far more effective than canned, copied, and sample love letters so I am not going to give you any love letters here, but I will give you some general tips to write them. Trust me, a girl or guy is going to value something that is authentic and from you more than some piece of mushy crap you got off the internet. I want to repeat it for emphasis: don’t get your love notes from the Internet!!

How to Write Love Letters Tip One
Don’t be too romantic. You might be thinking I am crazy here, but you want to keep things cool and even, especially the guys. You want to keep some tension and guessing in relationships. The minute you start writing gushy over-the-top love letters you are essentially saying “I’m yours,” which is a great way to both kill the romance and ensure that you will be taking orders soon. The minute you let another person know you are theirs “no matter what,” they will start to walk all over you. So, keep it smooth, and don’t go over-the-top with your love letters.

How to Write Love Letters Tip Two

Use your own material. The worst love letters I have seen are form letters, and everybody knows they are from somebody else. I even hate getting form letters in business, so why would someone like love letters that are that sterile and written by somebody else? I remember a girl in junior high wrote me a series of romantic letters, and they included a few poems. I thought they were pretty cool, until I found out she took them from a popular teen magazine. At that point they seemed cheap. Man up and Woman up and write your own love letters. Nobody wants a letter that some creepy dude sitting in his parents’ basement wrote and posted online!

How to Write Love Letters Tip Three:

Don’t do it all the time. Nothing is worse than writing someone love letters every day (or even worse, more than that!). People like what they can’t have. It is called the scarcity principle, and is based on the science of persuasion. The more scarce you are, the more mysterious and excellent you seem to others. If you have time to write twenty love letters each day, then that just screams “low value.” Take a break from writing love letters to show that special someone that you have a life.

How to Write Love Letters Tip Four:

Another good idea is to write love letters to different people. Unless you are married or engaged, it makes sense to “cast your nets wide” and date around a little. If you are young, just have fun, meet new people, and don’t get too hung up on long-term commitment. You are young, so just have some fun! I am not saying you should sleep around or anything like that. I am just saying you should hang out and have fun with a variety of people. Nothing is worse than the guy or gal that drops off the face of the earth and only spends time with their boyfriend or girlfriend.

I love writing love letters and romantic notes, but you should know how to write them!
