Can't you express on paper what you could say aloud? Having trouble figuring out how to start writing a letter that reveals your true feelings? Read on - the tips in this article will help you find inspiration.
Steps
Method 1 of 1: Write the Letter
Step 1. Determine the recipient
Of course it's best to write the love letter to a person you already have a relationship with (such as a boyfriend, girlfriend, friend you have a crush on, etc.), but you can also use it to tell someone you love them in the in case you still don't know how you feel. While it is preferable to express your feelings in person to the recipient, sometimes a letter can be more than enough alternative. Evaluate the relationship you currently have. Is the time come when you want to tell him you love him? What is the purpose behind the letter? What do you want this person to recognize? Answering these questions precisely is the best way to write in a targeted manner.
Step 2. Get the necessary materials
If you intend to send the letter by post, you need paper, an envelope, a pen (or pencil), stamps and the recipient's address. Don't want to send it this way? Then obviously you won't need the stamps or the address. Remember that paper and ink will communicate your feelings, so the outward appearance of the letter reflects you. If you write in legible handwriting and on a clean sheet of paper, you show that you really care a lot about expressing the words that make it up. On the other hand, writing illegally on crumpled paper and at least torn from a notebook sends a message of neglect.
Step 3. Write
Follow the heart when the words are addressed to someone you love. It's best to express your feelings in your own way; maybe you will use clumsy or not very poetic words, but do not use forced terms, which you think will be appreciated by the recipient. The best way to start this process is to write on a separate sheet following your thoughts freewheeling; write down everything you would like to explain to the person who will receive the letter. Just a couple of sentences: you can confess that talking to her cheers up your days more than anything else; this is much more convincing than the usual clichés, like telling her your heart sank every time you meet her or your breath fails in her presence. Anyway, if you describe how you feel and these words still seem a little too cheesy, go ahead! You will never be able to form a deep relationship if you don't really express what you feel.
Advice
- Take your time. Over the course of the day, take 10 minutes to reflect on what you want to write and actually focus on the task. Having some drafts can only help you.
- be patient. If you can't come up with the right words, don't worry! Over time, your feelings will emerge through writing, provided you keep trying.
- be yourself. Make what you write as personal and original as possible.
Warnings
- Don't be pushy or upset this person. If the recipient of the letter has told you that they are not interested in you, don't insist! Sometimes writing what you feel in a well thought-out way can help, but overdoing it and obsessively sending letters can make it move away from you for good.
- It doesn't necessarily work! As much as you have put all your heart into the letter, sometimes it can happen that you don't get reciprocated. Try to understand that everything happens for a reason. Your soul mate exists out there and will appreciate you for who you are! Try not to think and rethink what you could have expressed better, because it is absolutely probable that not even the most beautiful words in the world could have conquered this person: it was not destiny.
