I want to write my boyfriend a love letter, but I'm not sure how he will react to it.

If that's you in the picture then your boyfriend is a lucky guy

doesn't matter how he reacts. I've learned if you can't find the strength to say it person to person, explain its importance and make him read your thoughts. I wouldn't get offended in fact its really nice, if its alll good that you are writing.

It really depends on your guy. Personally though I love receiving a letter of love from a partner. It validate things (not that they need to be, but it feels good when thay are).

I would write it, but include it with some other normal present to see how he reacts to it. Let him know that you wrote something special to go with the present.

If he's the "aloof" type he might read it and just say "thats cool" or "thanks". If he's a deeper soul you will touch him (emotionally speaking). Personally, the only girl for me is a very deep soul and I feel her with me always. Her poems and stories are alive to me and so special (so, if she ever did write me a love letter it would be so beyond ammazing there would be no words to describe).

I think it's a great idea. A lot of guys secretly love that stuff, unless they are players in which case they will run for the hills. If you know your boyfriend loves you he will love it.

I dated a girl who wrote me love notes, and (so long as they weren't on my FB wall) I was all about it. Sometimes it was just a short email to say something nice during the day, or other times it was a hand written letter left on my pillow. Try and make it eloquent and classy (and not overly cheesy), but whatever you do, make it truly personal, and he'll find it adorable. If he doesn't he has ice in his veins...

i find it cute if a girl was to do that =3

I think that's a great idea, I wish my past gfs have wrote me one!

it all depends on the type of guy he is. is he romantic? loving? caring? if so I think he would probably love one, but I think that you would probably be the best judge of whether he'd like it or not. don't think of it as whether it will scare him or no but if he'll like it or not. its an incredibly romantic thing to do and I've loved the ones I've gotten but that's me

Uh yeah, like you said, it's all part of the fun. There's certainly no harm in writing a letter... that's my only advice.

write one, give it to him with lots of love, be right there till he reads it completely and finally have a great hug from him.

He's your boyfriend, isn't he...? How negatively could he possibly respond to a love letter if you've already been going out for a year? 'Ew, my girlfriend loves me!? WTF is this!?'

I'm sure you'll be fine.

Most persons can express their feelings way better if they are able to think about what they're actually going to say or write. So a letter usually contains way better words to express your own feelings than any sentence you'd say to your partner in person.

A love letter is one of the dearest things to do and everyone who would not like to receive a love letter is simply put not in love. I would love to receive one as I like telling my feelings and listening to other persons how they feel about me. A love letter from the person you're in love with would be the thing I keep with me all times!

If he really loves you and you know he wants to be with you, this can be one of the greatest gestures a girl can do for a guy.

Letters are great because you have time to say exactly what you what you want to say perfectly.

A guy won't feel bad at a girl writing about how much she loves him, its a great feeling, to know that some one cares this much about you.
Especially since guys are the ones who normally have to do these things to win a girls heart while she can just kick back and accept gestures of admiration from the men who want to be with her without batting an eye.


I would say that you should be sure that he's really into you. If you give him a love letter and he's not, he will be like OMG.

I think a love letter is romantic and sweet. I know I have written many in the past to ex's.

Like you - I am a pensive person and find it difficult to do mushy emotional stuff person-to-person. I find that level of vulnerability difficult to deal with. So tell him that in the letter as your reason for writing it.

However, be prepared for the fact that your sentiments may not be reciprocated. The two of you have been together for a year... so I can't imagine he doesn't feel the same way. But be careful and guarded in that respect. But I am sure you can judge for yourself where his mind is given the length of your relationship.

Love letters are very romantic! I wish you much luck.

At present, I am dating someone with whom I have been writing for 4 years (we dated a decade previously). I too wrote a love letter with many sentimental declarations... one he was flattered to receive. Ultimately, he wasn't in a position to reciprocate at the time and that devestated me. Flash forward 6 months... he dropped his g/f; moved across the country... and we are now seeing each other. He realized on his own time that he felt the same of me.

Good luck!

He would probably think it mushy and cute aww. you've been with him a year, I think that entitles you to written love letters. :) put down all your feelings and thoughts about him think about it and then write it down. then organize into a letter that way it's easy to read and not
a whole bunch of scrambled thoughts.

poems are good to if you can find words to rhyme with your heartfelt love. :)

nothing beats a love letter. Just make sure that you don't get carried away in your emotions and make sure that you're writing the right thing to the right guy.

If you look back on classic authors, letters were the main form of communication. Even today people love getting letters in the mail. It makes someone feel incredibly special. Men especially need to feel wanted, and a love letter is just the ticket.

Sometimes it's easy for our minds to become overcrowded with ideas and worries. So break it down. If you're into music, treat this letter like a song. What's the theme- love. How does it make you feel. Go verse by verse, and let it build. It sounds silly, but it'll work

If you're into art, pretend like you're reading him the descriptions from your love paiting. The size of the piece, the color, textures, etc. Once again, finding beauty in the small details of what your relationship sparkle.

Or lastly, if you're into cooking, make it like a recipe. List the ingredients that made your bond tantalizing and irresistable. How long it took for things to develop, when you knew it was ready, etc.

You may think this sounds cheesy, but something is bound to stick. And no matter what, you guys will love that you put forth the time and effort... all for him. Best of luck!

Speaking as a person who generally likes to express herself in words, I think it's a wonderful idea.

Be sure to use tantalizing words such as euphoria and rapturous.

Throw in voluptuous too. That's always a crowd pleaser. = )

Honestly, I would tell him in person. And if you cry, it means you really do care. And emotion can't be expressed in a love letter as much as physical presence can.
