So you're in a long distance relationship, and you need to find ways to keep the romance alive by being creative with ways to express yourself.
Or you may be close, but would like to do something romantic for your significant other.
A love letter is a great creative way to do just that.
Figuring out what to say always seems like the hardest part though.
Here are a few tips to better help you when expressing your feelings to your significant other in the old fashioned way.
1.
Make it personal, but not about yourself.
Try to stay away from what you want, or what you would like from the other person.
It is a love letter so make sure you are as endearing as possible without being selfish.
Use endearing terms such as "dear", "sweetheart", "love", "my love" or "darling".
2.
Date the letter: Put the date that you wrote the letter on the letter.
It shows a time stamp so in a matter of weeks, months, or even years when you go back and reminisce about your young love, you can have a reference.
3.
Let them know how you feel, and be confident.
Don't hold back any feelings.
Remember it is always easier to write your feelings then it is to say it to someone's face.
Let them know how they've changed your life for the better.
Tell them how they make you feel when you're around them.
Let them know how you feel when they touch you, or see you.
Tell them what you like about them including how they dress or how they carry themselves.
4.
Make sure it's in your own hand writing.
A sweet and personal gesture like a love letter can be ruined simply by typing it.
Remember it's not a term paper, so typing it and double spacing will ruin its intimacy.
5.
Avoid being too erotic or "friendly".
It is a Love Letter.
You're participating in one of the oldest romantic gestures known to man.
So don't be afraid to be romantic and express your hearts desires and feelings toward this special person in your life.
When you're done make sure you end it with "love", "sincerely" or anything creative that you can think of that expresses how you view them.
Place it in an envelope so they will have to wait to actually read it.
And for an added luster you can mail it to them, even if they live fairly close.
Also for an added romantic gesture, you can add some love quotes or poems that you find or that you know they would like.
Whatever you decide to do, make sure it comes from the heart and that your feelings are clearly conveyed.
Dare to be romantic
