Does anyone still believe in building relationships through letters in modern times?

I do not see why not. Letters are more tangible than a text message. You have to go through all the trouble of getting a piece of paper, think about what you want to write about and sit and carefully write your thoughts on a sheet of paper. Then maybe read it over to make sure it is what you want to say, Then put it in an envelope.

I used to put a few lines of poetry or maybe some song lyrics on the back of the envelope , put a stamp on it and put it in a mailbox.

Nothing says that you care more than a handwritten letter.

[lightbulb27]

sure but that seems online now more than ever, unless you are part of the Amazon tribe recently discvered.

I met my now wife on GAG by connecting in writing, answering questions. Sight unseen for months. I prefer that method. Observing writing can say a lot about a person, but it doesn't say everything of course. It's like an onion that is peeled in layers. But that is way better than the physical "WOW" click and going too fast without having any depth of knowledge of them. We know that leads to pain.

You met your wife here?

Wow! That's really cool! Congratulations!

[lightbulb27]

@RingOfFire correct, several years ago. thank you. you can meet someone... anywhere... just have to be open and have skills to engage.

@RingOfFire lightbulb and his wife are two very nice people.

[RingOfFire]

@exitseven I can believe that!

[lightbulb27]

@RingOfFire @exitseven

Ah, the sweet charm of handwritten letters! 💌 In today completely digitalized world, letters are like that unplanned midnight dance under the stars—refreshingly romantic and beautifully rare. Believe me, there's still a squad of romantics dreaming about mailbox treasures and the thrill of ink on paper. In my line of work, I've seen it all—lovebombing with texts, ghosting after intense DM conversations, but let me tell you, nothing beats the depth and sincerity found in a letter. It's a slow dance of words, a testament to thoughtfulness. So, yes, while we're swiping left and right faster than we can blink, there are souls out there craving the intimacy and authenticity that only letters can convey. It's not old-fashioned, it’s classic—a timeless expression of love and connection. 🌹

I totally agree with what you said. In any case, I think destiny always arranges the right person or thing to appear at the right time. But I don't like to start looking for feelings from appearance. What's inside is more important

[Finchie40]

With technology the way it is today , writing letters is a rare thing , but I would still appreciate if a girl wrote me a nice letter for sure

[Purpleronnie]

I exchange alphabetical letters arranged into words in a message 😆. Writing letters , absolutely not how long and tedious. You can have the same effect by an email but in text that can be easily read and understood. Net you will be asking if it should be sealed with a wax stamp and sent via horseback rider


Only joking … but no , no letters !

[RingOfFire]

When I was a young man, exchanging letters with my girl when I was far away from her was one of the highlights of both of our lives. So I can relate to your question.

Unfortunately I think it's a lost art as I have seen so few younger people who can even write anything meaningful. The internet has dumbed down the art of writing. It's too easy to exchange writings so there's no incentive to put any effort into it to make it count.

I mean... it could be endearing, but when we know there's a way to instantly communicate it sounds like a bit of a hassle. Hand written letters are always nicer to receive. It shows more effort. But practically, they aren't very viable.

[IWILLPLEASEYOU]

I have been trying to get a answer to my question without embarrassing anyone's answer so I will risk you slapping my face honestly do you ladies enjoy laying with your partner naked and please don't worry about the way you are feeling. I have always wanted to pleasure tou and have you ❤️ the whole experience

Writing letters can be a beautiful thing. Obviously in perosn contact is important and you can text and call.

But getting a letter from someone you can see the expression in the way they write and it can be super meaningful.

And to know someone took time to write a letter by hand. Put a stamp on it and send it

[DrPepper12]

No. When i was teaching i actually felt bad for the kids that they text instead of passing notes. Romantic writing is dead. He'll these kids dont even like Shelley or Byron. Those two could write romance!

[DryGermanGuy]

I'm as old-school and sentimental as they come, but actually communicating through handwritten letters is even for me a stretch.

[kwsmith2]

Its a sweet idea and indeed I used to write long emails years ago. But, I haven't heard of anyone doing it more than a decade.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Hi, I like the idea of building relationships through letter writing.

[strangeatcircleK]

It could be fun. But a picture is still worth more than a thousand words

That could be a part of it, but I'd say not the only thing

[Yannae]

ONLY letters, I can't. But it can be one of the many ways to talk.

[nawtee_me]

Writing letters is becoming a lost art…. It is a shame too, but it seems to be going out just like courting did….

[KrakenAttackin]

Send her letters while she is on Tinder getting her guts rearranged by random Chad's? No thanks.

[Iron_Man]

Online not old school letters takes days to get in the US Mail

I don't think I've ever met a woman that would want that, nor compelled to do so.

[Hanna0719]

But there are always some people who believe in the guidance of fate. Text messages and writing can better understand each other's inner feelings. After all, the words spoken by the mouth may not be thought through by the brain

[Opinion Owner]

I agree but for every woman that likes this sort of thing there are 19 more that will laugh at, taunt, and humiliate a man for doing it. Guys learn to bury that side of him pretty quickly.

[noohair]

With stamp prices going up, I think this is a dying form of personal communication.

[dsrice071966]

Yes, I love writing letter or emails to my relationship

[sawno]

Letters no, online messaging yes.

[handsomelad70]

I do, but again, I'm 71.

[ChicoFromThe305]

There's definitely faster ways to communicate lol

[jahaims]

Way more efficient ways to do so now

[Emmytexrex]

We are not in Titanic age anymore lol

[foxsquirrell]

Sounds archaic.

[OhLongJohnsoning]

Letters? Like as in 1865?

[woahhh152]

I would love to do that 😍

[In_Trance]

I don't think it's possible

[Pterodon]

Sure why not?
