Writing a Love Letter
by Sam Alex
Love letters are so heart warming and such a romantic gesture that they can help bring back the spark in any relationship and yet, in today’s fast paced world, they often remain an after thought for many couples. They allow couples to express sentiments that are sometimes difficult to enunciate in conversation and so can unlock barriers that might otherwise be difficult to overcome.
If you are thinking of writing a love letter to a loved one perhaps the following steps will help you get started.
How to start your love letter
Do not start the letter by saying something like ‘Dear Honeypie’ if you’ve never called him that before as that will just confuse him and he may lose interest in the letter.
You need to find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed so that you can concentrate. Men are visual creatures so you need to develop ideas that will make him take notice. Think of words or phrases you could use to grab his attention, to entice him, to keep him reading. You could start the letter by calling him by a pet name which is familiar to you both, it could be cute or just damn sexy but as long as he recognises it, he will read on. Starting off the letter by saying that you love him will bring a wide smile to his face.

What to include in your love letter
You should use familiar phrases when you start the letter off such as ‘I love it when you are touching, hugging, caressing me’. By using words which end in ‘ing’ you are already painting a picture. Tell him how he makes you feel when he does certain things like looking into your eyes, or touching your hair. Make sure that you reflect on past happy memories you have shared like the time you actually met, a trip away, a romantic meal or even something as simple as what he was wearing and why you loved it. How did these experiences make you feel at the time? Tell him in the letter if you had butterflies in your stomach the first time you managed to catch his eye. As well as pouring all of your heartfelt emotions into the content of the letter you should also add a teasing element to keep areas of the letter fun and whimsical.
What not to include in your love letter
It is best not to let any negativity creep into the letter so do not mention any bad memories or arguments (even if you did make up afterwards). You should ensure that you keep your paragraphs nice and short, with just four or five sentences in each one. Men are easily distracted so they will not appreciate an overly long love letter. So keep it short, say two or three pages at the most is about the right length.
Don’t include jokes or try to be funny because you want to keep the subject firmly focused on romance and not humour. Also, it’s best not to talk about the children you want to have with him, especially if you are still in the going out phase as this could scare him off. Don’t type your love letter, or print it out because this lacks the personal touch. Always hand write your love letters and this allows you to add those extra special little marks or kisses here and there that will mean something to him.
How to end your love letter
In the last couple of paragraphs you should turn the nature of the letter sexy. Reassure him that you love it when he does certain things to you that make your toes curl! Tempt him by saying that you cannot wait to see him in the bedroom where you will undress him, cover his chest in butterfly kisses etc. What is it you like most about your man? Let him know if you love his tight muscles or his butt. He will love it!
You could spray some of your perfume onto the letter and also the envelope, or maybe make a lips kissing mark with red lipstick as red signifies love. Another good idea is to enclose something which means something to you both and will make him feel nostalgic. Perhaps you could enclose the cinema ticket stub to the first ever movie you went to see together or the cork from the first bottle of wine you both shared, maybe even a pretty autumn leaf or a pebble off the beach which remind you both of times spent happily together.
