What do you think of writing love letters and sending them snail mail for long distance relationships to add to the romance?

Hell yes I write them to my man even tho we in the same house. Gets home before me gets a letter

To the man I love

I made dinner its in the fridge right next to the 6 pack ( vary specifically great northern originals. Coz he drinks nothing else)

Hope you had a nice day and that work was not too crazy


( some days I then Wright all the sweet nothings I want him to hear that could be pages long 🤣) and other days its just that little bit.

First thing he said when he got his first love letter. Is that he has never been given one before and that it means the world to him. I know he has been secretly saving them in a box in the back shed where he thinks I would never go. Each and every one of them... been doing it for 6 months 🤫

I love them. Seeing that one took time to write and seeing their thoughts and emotions in their writing is meaningful to me! Care packages, snail mail were sent back and forth to keep the flame alive with my 2nd SO. I had even made a box of open when letters before he left abroad for his masters. The relationship seemed to be still going strong 3 months of him abroad for school. It was after I came to visit him for 2 weeks and returned back home that through a Skype call he ended things off.

When I was in my teens/20s that was our only option for written communication and I think that even today it could be nice. A handwritten letter could seem more special than electronic communication.

I still have some of those letters from a few exes from decades ago. I'm pretty sure my girlfriend has some from some of her exes also. We rarely look at them and neither of us has any interest in getting back together with those exes, but on rare occasions it's kind of nice to look at them and remember the past.

I think especially if you end up together, it could be fun to look back at those 20 or 30 or 40 years from now.

Shows a lot more class than sending a Dear Jane or Dear John letter the same way.

[1stranger]

Yes, I wrote years ago.

I think it's very romantic.
If I write its first sentence would be,
"When I think of you I feel like a hand is pressing on my heart.
What do you think this is?"

[Jjpayne]

It's very poetic, but they take your breath away or make your heart feel more alive? 🤔

That sounds really cute and adorable snail mail is cool old-fashioned writing is cool hey I believe we should keep certain aspects of romance alive and there's no reason why we should give up on what we call old School
Sometimes old school can become new school again

[KeziL]

I think it's cute. I wouldn't want that to be our only form of communication, but it's really nice to have something physical you can hold onto and look back at and read. I keep little notes my friends leave me and it's sweet.

I love that idea... But I would do random emails.. Sorry but my penmanship sucks

I would draft emails and work on them for a while and send them randomly as a surprise.

[Broken_doll]

Well I'm pretty old lol and we used to do that. I can't explain how exciting it is to open the envelope from the mail. Such a thrill

[CallMeDave]

Lol. I think 38 seems pretty young! It's all relative.

I agree that it was exciting to open the mail box and see a letter from my girlfriend and then to open and read it.

I still have some of them and even decades later I will occasionally (every few years when I need to move the box they're in for some reason) read one or more of them and it's still kind of fun.

Those relationships are over and I have no desire to restart them, but even though I'm in a good long term relationship now it's still nice to occasionally think back and remember those days.

Did you save any of yours?

[Broken_doll]

@CallMeDave it's nice to have those memories. I did save them, but I have no idea where they are lol. Most of them were penpals from around the world

[CallMeDave]

I had no idea where mine were for years (and didn't even really remember that I had them), but then discovered them when moving. Perhaps you'll find yours some day like that too.

[Broken_doll]

@CallMeDave yes, I remember I wrote an indi rock singer that I was heartbroken lol she wrote me back on the back of a beer carton that heartbreak is a horrible feeling and I would heal... lol priceless

[Wild_princess]

I am a amateur Piet and writer.. I love love letters... even my some poems are like love letter to my crush or lover...

So adorable!!! I would do this if I talked to a guy LD.

[beachloverr]

I love this idea. It’s how things were once before.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I like the ideas of Snail Mail and sending Woman romance letters.

[Secret6620]
