How to Write the Perfect Love Letter and you know you really want to................Love letters by numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Maybe your heart is beating wildly or maybe it is broken.

Either way, you wish you could say what you feel, but every time you try you come up short.

Welcome to the complicated world of love. But you can take comfort in knowing that poets and statesmen have struggled with the same question--

How do I write the perfect love letter? Here are some simple guidelines that might help.


1. Presentation. Use some beautiful stationery-- a neutral, soft color, such as cream or white--and a flair pen with black or brown ink--no blues, greens or reds! Remember, your love letter is being written to someone special. Hand written letters are the best. This is personal; you are not writing a business letter.
2. Ambiance. Go to a secluded place and put on some soft, romantic music. A quiet room would be nice. Dim the lights. Get in a romantic mood.
3. Keepsake. Date your love letter (month, day, year). This is a letter that will be treasured and remembered. You can bet that it will be read over and over and safeguarded in a special place.
4. Greeting. Choose an endearing salutation. Don’t be formal. Use you love’s first name. For example: “My dearest Jennifer…”
5. Beginning. Start your love letter by telling your beloved your reasons for writing. For instance: “I have lain awake many sleepless nights trying to compose words that might adequately describe the feelings of my heart. But every time I have made the attempt I have failed miserably. Please forgive my poor effort and accept a trite and simple phrase: I love you. I think I can say it no better than this…” Never insult your beloved’s feelings or belittle yourself by saying something like: "I know you probably don't feel this way," or "You must think I'm crazy." If you are timid in your love letter, your attempt at conveying heartfelt words will fall flat and might be misunderstood.
6. Body. The body of the love letter contains reasons for your love. Here are some ideas:
recall when you fell for him/her
tell how your life changed for the better
say how you miss your beloved when you are apart
say that you can’t imagine life without him/her
list things you have in common
tell how he/she makes you feel
recall special moments you've shared together
mention times you've noticed him/her from afar
list qualities that set him/her apart from everyone else.
Avoid being erotic, casual or too light-hearted. A love letter is a letter of respect that coveys deep, difficult-to-express feelings. Don’t discount the impact of poetry in place of or in addition to your words. You can use borrowed lines or do your best. Maybe your beloved has a favorite author or poet. It’s a compliment to your beloved that you took the time to quote someone he/she admires. Be sure to give proper credit where it's due.
Be real. Your love letter should be a carefully crafted work of art, but it also needs to come across as sincere. You want your love letter to make your beloved fall in love not fall into laughter. Be sure it's the first--sincerity will ensure that. Be confident as you express your emotions, dreams and vulnerability.
NOTE: Don’t expect that your first attempt to be the letter you send. REVISE, then leave it for a few hours, then return and revise again. You’ll improve on it, guaranteed!
7. Closing. End your love letter with carefully crafted prose: “There, I have said it. I can rest now. And as I dream, I will dream of you.” Make your closing upbeat and positive.
8. Valediction (to say farewell). Don’t just end with: “Love, Eric.” Even if you said, “All my love,” it would be better. Or you become even more romantic with something like: “Dream of me my love….” What you want is a simple and tender goodbye: “ With undying love,” or “Forever yours.” Remember, you may think this is too sappy, but your loved one will treasure each word. Be prepared to have it quoted to you in years to come.
9. Insert. Include a special extra: petals from a flower, sprinkles of stars, a teabag of your favorite tea…. You get the idea. That little extra effort means you really put some thought into this.
10. Neatness counts. Gently fold the love letter and place it in a neatly addressed envelope--the same high quality as your stationary. The correct way is to fold the letter in half with the text on the inside. Place it in the envelope with the crease at the bottom and the salutation facing the back. Hand-address the envelope. Remember what your elementary teacher taught you about penmanship! Add a stamp-- affix it upside down. It is a custom that means, “I love you.” Drop the letter in the mail. That’s it! Expect an emotional response. And here’s the last tip: buy some breath mints--you’ll need them!
Popular words to use in your love letter: angel, lover, giving, alluring, sensuality, seeing, tasting, touching, holding, caressing, memories, darling, gorgeous, absence, velvet, voyage, beautiful, vision, elation, blossoms, happy, kisses, innocent, passion, dreaming, delirious, temptation, complete, desire, content, embracing, rainbow, rose, adoring, stars, privileged, heart
