Sometimes, expressing feelings through words is not an easy matter. Not everyone can do it. However, you can always rely on a well-written message or letter to solve this problem. If you're after a guy but don't have the courage to tell him, don't worry! Put your feelings down on paper and move on from there.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Writing Letters
Step 1. Be honest with your wishes
If you really like the guy, tell him. Think about what you want to achieve with the letter. Do you want to ask for his phone number so you can send a text message? If so, ask for his phone number in your letter. Do you want to spend time with him after school? Invite him over to your house to watch a movie. If you know the goal you want to achieve with the letter, it will be much easier to write it down.
- Be honest with yourself. Don't tell him that you don't mind if he doesn't like you, or that it's okay if he wants to just be friends with you if it's not true. Make sure what you write is completely honest, otherwise you start off the wrong way.
- It doesn't matter if you honestly admit you don't know what to say. Telling him "I don't know how to put it but I really like you" is a very sympathetic line and he'll be flattered to see you're brave enough to give it a try.
Step 2. Arrange your letter like a poem
There is no truest way to tell someone that you like them. So, you can express your creativity freely. Write a poem to tell him how you feel.
- There's no need to write poetry that rhymes if you don't want to. There are many different types of poetry of different lengths to choose from. So, experiment and see which one works best for your goals.
- If you can't find the type of poetry that suits you, go back to classical poetry. You can never go wrong with "Red roses, smell good, I want to say, I like you".
Step 3. Use quotes
If you're having trouble putting your feelings into your own words, there's nothing wrong with quoting other people's words. Write a quote from your favorite movie or book or add lyrics to a song that reminds you of it. It doesn't matter what you say, as long as he knows you like him.
Step 4. Compliment him
Use letters to express things you'd be embarrassed to say in person. Compliment her hair, clothes or personality, whatever makes her look attractive to you, tell her. Even if he decides he's not interested in you, he'll still appreciate the compliment.
Step 5. Add a personal joke
If you and your crush already know each other, there's a good chance you both have a personal joke, at least one. Write the joke in the letter. These details are unique and specific only to the relationship between the two of you and he will appreciate it if you thought about including them.
Step 6. Add a personal gift
Your love letter doesn't need to be just a letter. If you find it awkward to put your feelings into words, try conveying it through songs. Make a playlist or CD of selected songs that remind you of him. If you are good at drawing, draw a picture of the two of you.
- Whatever you decide to give him, be sure to include a letter with your name on it. Of course you don't want to send a gift and have him guessing who sent it.
- The letter accompanying your gift does not need to be written in detail. Just write: For Gilang, From Gita. The gift that will express your feelings. So, the accompanying letter need not be superfluous.
Part 2 of 3: Decorating Letters
Step 1. Choose stationery
Before writing a letter, you must decide which stationery to use. Notebook pages are a safe option, but not the only option. If you recently went on vacation with your family, use a postcard from that location. Or, if you have a special stationery that you like, just use it.
Step 2. Fold the letter into a heart shape
To do this, choose a 15x15 cm letter paper (or square-shaped paper). Fold the paper twice in different directions so that the paper is divided into four equal squares. Fold the top two ends down so they meet at the center crease. Fold the bottom corners up to meet the top ends. Fold the right side until it touches the crease in the middle and do the same with the left side. Flip this heart shape over and fold the top edges down.
Step 3. Decorate the envelope with stickers or graphic art
If you are going to give the letter in an envelope, feel free to decorate it too. You can add stickers or graphic art to write the name of the guy you want. If you want to give it a touch of humor, try cutting out the name of the guy you have a crush on using letters cut out from magazines and sticking it in an envelope so that it looks like an anonymous letter.
- Know that he may not be as crazy about stickers as you are. A little embellishment is better if you want to decorate the letter, unless you really want to go to extremes.
- If the letter is serious, it's best to keep it simple: just write the name in plain letters on the envelope.
Step 4. Paint the envelope with watercolors
To make the envelopes look more colorful and fun, try painting them. To do so, you just need an envelope, some paint and a brush. Try painting wavy lines in different colors.
- When painting a line, make sure the brush is level and drag it across the paper.
- Let the envelope dry before loading the letter.
Part 3 of 3: Delivering the Letter
Step 1. Give him a letter in the school corridor
If you often run into your crush in the corridor, make a plan to write a letter on that occasion. You won't have much time before the next lesson starts. So, you don't have to worry about having to linger and talk awkwardly.
- If you're too nervous or anxious to deliver the letter yourself, ask a friend for help. Make sure you choose a trusted friend to avoid in case he decides to read the letter himself and tell others what is written there.
- You can also give the letter in class. He'll probably feel good about having something to work on (besides paying attention to lessons and studying, of course). However, you have to make sure the letter doesn't fall into the wrong hands. You don't want the teacher to find it and confiscate it, or worse, read the letter aloud.
Step 2. Tuck the letter in his locker
If you don't want to give the letter directly to your crush or feel awkward asking someone else for help, slip the letter through the gap in his locker. Just make sure you slip it in the correct locker.
Step 3. Send the letter over the internet
If you don't think you can give the letter at school, try emailing it. Some people find email unromantic, but it really isn't. As long as you are honest and express how you feel, your crush won't care how you send it.
You can also send a letter as a text or a Facebook message. Whatever medium you feel comfortable with, use it
Step 4. Send the letter anonymously
If you're absolutely sure you can't send a letter with your name to the guy you have a crush on, there's no need to write it down. The guy wouldn't know who his secret admirer was, but some people liked mysteries. However, it must be remembered that if you really want to be in a relationship with the guy you are looking for, sooner or later you have to admit it.
Tips
- Don't give out your letter when the guy is with his friends. His behavior may be different around them and he may try to impress them by ignoring you. It's a good idea to give the letter personally, if possible.
- Show courage! Opening up can be very scary. Believe that you are doing the right thing and try to make it happen.
- Do not be afraid. Give him the letter when he is alone and calm down. Believe in yourself!!!
