Want to date a girl you've been in love with for a long time? In this modern era, why not try a way that is somewhat ancient but is actually very romantic, such as expressing love through letters?

In particular, this article summarizes the appropriate words to say in a letter, along with how to pronounce them so that your intentions are clearly known to him. Apart from that, you will also find various tips to make the letter feel very special when received by him.
Step
Method 1 of 13: Begin the letter with a sweet and romantic greeting
Step 1. Begin the letter with a sweet greeting, such as, “Hi my favorite girl” or “To my darling” to define the feel of the letter
If you feel the two phrases are too old-fashioned or clunky, try saying the special nickname you gave them. Don't be afraid to sound cliche or ridiculous! Remember, the purpose of your letter is to make her feel special and loved.
If you are not sure which greeting is suitable to use, don't leave this section blank! Instead, simply write, “Hi Penelope,” to begin your letter
Method 2 of 13: Use a natural language style, but not too casual
Step 1. If your style is too casual, the letter won't feel special or meaningful
Therefore, always remind yourself that the letter is not only important to him, but also important to you. To reflect on how important and meaningful the contents of the letter are, make sure you choose the right diction, even if it doesn't have to be perfect.
- Try to avoid using slang, abbreviations, and special jargon in letters. Also, make sure that your grammar, spelling, and punctuation are correct!
- For example, instead of, "Hey babe, how are you? I'm just taking it easy here," try writing, "Have a nice day, y'all! I'm fine, but I also miss you so much."
- Instead of "OMG I don't really care about you. It's really sad that we have to be apart like this," try writing, "I hope you're doing well! I miss you so much and can't stop thinking about you."
Method 3 of 13: Inform him that there is something special you want to tell him
Step 1. Today, letters are no longer the usual means of communication
Therefore, don't forget to explain the reason behind writing your letter. Instead of expressing your feelings right away at the beginning of the letter, explain beforehand that the letter was written because you find it difficult to express your feelings directly, or because the distance between the two of you makes you want to give her a memory she can touch.
If you're writing a letter because you're too shy to express your feelings, admit it honestly and openly
Method 4 of 13: State your feelings specifically and in detail
Step 1. This is your chance to make her feel special and admired
In your own words, try to explain how amazing he is, no matter how much he means to you. What do you like about his personality? Are there any special memories you can bring up? Write from the heart, and do not need to demand perfection.
- If you feel the need to concentrate fully while writing a letter, try putting together a list of things you want to say on a piece of paper. That way, as you write, you can glance at the list to make sure you haven't forgotten anything.
- You could say, “I think you are the most beautiful woman in the world” or “I love your sense of humor. You can make me laugh every day.”
- Do you both have a memorable song? If you have trouble finding the right words, feel free to quote a sentence that conveys your heart from a song lyric or even a poem.
Method 5 of 13: Make your request clear and concise
Step 1. An ambiguous statement or question will only make it difficult for him to understand what you mean
Therefore, make sure you choose clear and straightforward transitional sentences, such as, “Those are just a few reasons that make you very special to me. If you feel the same way, will you be my girlfriend?” Most importantly, your interrogative sentence should be clear so that he doesn't feel confused. Some other options that are also suitable for you to use:
- "You are the only girl I want. Want to be my girlfriend?"
- "I have a feeling we'd make an absolutely amazing couple. Would you like to be my girlfriend?"
- "I know we've liked each other for a long time. That's why, I want to make our relationship official now. Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
Method 6 of 13: Affirm your desire to get a response from him
Step 1. By sending the letter, it means that you need to hear a specific answer, namely “yes” or “no
So, let him know that he can spend as much time as possible thinking, but emphasize that you still need to hear the answer. Also let him know that he can send his answer through whatever medium is convenient for him, be it phone, text message, or email. If you want, you can even recommend a specific time and date. Try something like:
"I know you need some time to think. I'll call you Monday. I hope you have an answer by that day."
Method 7 of 13: Add a closing statement to make it quieter
Step 1. Make it clear that she doesn't need to feel overwhelmed
If you want to remain good friends with him, no matter what the decision is, make it clear that he shouldn't be afraid to tell the truth, because you can understand and accept his honesty.
Method 8 of 13: Put your name at the end of the letter
Step 1. If the two of you don't know each other well, it's a good idea to include your full name to sharpen his memory of your existence
However, if the two of you are already fairly close, just include your nicknames, unless there are a fair number of people with the same name in their social circle. Some closing greeting options you can use:
- "Greetings dear, Derek Cherkashin"
- "Lovely greetings, Gabrielle"
- "Yours forever, Taylor"
Method 9 of 13: Reread the body of the letter and correct any errors you find
Step 1. Set the letter aside and reread its contents with fresh eyes the next day
Surely you don't want to send a letter full of spelling and/or grammatical errors, do you? Therefore, after writing the letter, try to set it aside for a while. Once your eyes and mind are clear, read the contents of the letter one last time. Do all the words you list sound clear and make sense?
If necessary, read the contents of the letter aloud to more easily identify errors and/or awkward-sounding sentences
Method 10 of 13: Write the letter manually to make it feel even more special
Step 1. Unlike an email, a manually written letter will seem more romantic because it can be touched and preserved by him
Therefore, to make the letter you send feel more special to him, try writing it using a good quality ballpoint pen on a piece of paper or cardboard. Even though it seemed insignificant, such simple details would surely be noticed by him.
It's best not to type and print letters, unless your handwriting is really hard to read. Trust me, a letter written manually will feel much more emotional than a letter typed using a laptop or computer
Method 11 of 13: Send an email, if both of you are surfing the internet a lot
Step 1. This method is more effective if the two of you meet online and/or exchange messages frequently via email
In fact, even a well-packaged email can be a very meaningful communication tool, lo! Although it can't be handled like a regular letter, your email can still be saved and read over and over again by it. In addition, your message can be delivered faster if it is sent via email.
Method 12 of 13: Send a letter through the post office to bring back the romance of the past
Step 1. Enter the correct address, then put the stamp on the front of the letter before sending it
Don't forget to check all the information listed to make sure the letter arrives at the correct destination! If he lives in another city, province, or even country, use the post office to deliver the letter and calculate the weight of the letter to identify the postage rate you will need to pay.
To the officer on duty, ask whether or not there are forms or similar documents that you need to fill out before submitting the letter to be sent
Method 13 of 13: Send the mail directly, if you want to receive a faster response
Step 1. By doing so, you know that the letter has actually been received by him, and has the potential to receive a faster response afterwards
However, since the letter is only addressed to him, do not give it in class or in any other public place. Of course you don't want to embarrass him or have the letter confiscated by someone else, like a class teacher, do you? Instead, tuck the letter under his door or put it in his locker.
