Love letters - still used?

[Gan]

I was just curious - do most girls out there enjoy receiving love / appreciation letters or is that considered a little childish?

Daisy gives them two BIG thumbs up!!

No seriously, I absolutely love recieving letters from my boyfriend. Sometimes they're love letters and sometimes he writes me poems. Sometimes they're cute and funny and sometimes they are incredibly sweet and romantic. Guys: write them and you will most likely recieve some yourself! :D

Thanks for the reply Daisy814!

What about if you know the person fairly well but aren't actually "going out" with them? Is that ok too? More specificially, there's this girl I like (previous post somewhere) and I want to tell her how I feel about her, but I don't want to mess it up (that's males for you :)) so I thought being in writing would be the way to go. I know she likes me too. Is that ok?

My current boyfriend doesn't like the gooey stuff so we don't really write eachother love letters. We had a really boring class together and we used to pass notes to eachother- yes it sounds somewhat juvenile, he's 27 and I'm 22- we did it anyway and it was fun.
Since he's not into the gooey stuff it was a way for us to have fun while writing cute stuff to eachother.
Anyway, I was suggesting that b/c it's a less confrontative. A love letter could scare some girls off, but if you keep it more playful it might be easier. Plus if you're passing notes back and forth, you can see her reaction before spilling your guts.

I knew my guy a long time before we actually started dating. He actually sent me a package in the mail with the book that one of my all-time favorite movies was based on, my favorite candy, and a few other things that eluded to conversations we had previously had... and of course a letter.

Now, keep in mind that the letter in itself didn't start our romantic relationship - but it did greatly water the seeds... I think deep down inside, both of us knew the potiential our relationship could have a long time before this even happened. But we were both too scared to do anything about it - too scared to loose what little we already had.

I say, go ahead and do it. I wouldn't want you to look back one day and always wonder what would have happened if.......

I would absolutely love getting a love letter from someone as long as it FELT like they were being sincere. Don't even bother with the cliche stuff, just let it come from your heart. Even if I didn't like the guy-- if he had enough sense to do something so sweet, I would feel more likely to politely explain why I don't feel the same... because let me tell you... love letters make one feel good...

That is, as long as they aren't like... obsessive and stalkerish. Those are just freaky, and cause women--men--to just RUN...
