What's the acceptable age limit for writing love letters?
I've always done it, every relationship I had. I think it's nice to do it when you aint living with someone, because I always forget things I was meaning to say and it's nice to get them to put under your pillow and stuff.
Suppose it's not really necessary when you live together, but I just think it's nice to do stuff like that :yes:

But never really sent them. Too worried someone would get hold of it and i'd be forever humiliated.
I don't think there is an age limit but it is more something you do when you are away from the person so if you live together there it is less done.
I love getting them and re-reading them. And I send really gross ones too. Plus my bf has a shared letter box so I make the envelopes covered in hearts and stuff to embarass him so all the neighbours see it!
When my bf was in the army I once wrote and put lots of little pink love hearts in the envelope and opened it sat on his bunk bed and they all fell out everywhere.
so there good, just adds that little extra to the relationship i think because shes wrote back and what have ya so it's good, like the old leaving notes in pockets and stuff.
I have never written one either, i wouldnt know what to put in it and would feel stupid
I wrote and received a lot of love letters when I was younger that just make me cringe now; but I was given a leaving "love" letter the other day by someone who can really write and had so much to say that it was just spectacular. I'm only a tiny bit ashamed to say it made me cry. I like to think I write pretty good love letters, too, when I'm inclined to do so
Ooo this has reminded me of something. My ex was sitting on the bed one time and had an letter poking out his back pocket so I laughed and asked what it was and he looked slightly embarassed so I was like 'ooooooooo izzit a love letter?' and snatched it from his jeans and err it was a breakup letter... NICE
I have written my boyfriend a few, and sent him me to you cards saying that I was missing him etc when he has gone home but too often the letters I have written him have been explaining how unhappy I have felt or mentioning negative things that we have needed to sort out. However, things are much better nowadays so haven't written anything like that for a while. On friday he goes back down to Cornwall and I won't see him properly for a few months so I shall have to send him quite a few letters as I will miss him like mad, especially as we normally live together so a day without seeing him is bad enough. I think the letters will help a lot, as well as phone calls, emails and texts of course.
Got loads in my first relationship. One was actually a whole note book long. Then I got a fuck off massive one when he tried to make me take him back.
I'd really like one though. And I'm almost 19.
I sent my ex one when I was at uni. We'd been talking on the phone and he was late for work, so he's all 'look I'm really gonna have to go, I'll text you later.' Five minutes later he phoned me again - he'd just got it in the post and he was so touched by it that he made himself even later to work by ringing me to say thanks and he loved me.
Unfortunately, he wasn't the brightest of people, and because he was already late he just left it on the mantelpiece in the living room rather than putting it in his room. We both forgot about it til his mum made some comment when I was visiting about two weeks later. The letter was still on the mantelpiece and his little sister jumped up and read the whole thing to his entire family. :grump:
we haven't done it this time round - grown out of it i guess? I've become a lot less expressive so i'd like to be able to pour my heart out again, it would probably do me some good.
I got something along those lines this morning, and promptly burst into tears. It is just indescribably lovely, but definitely doesn't make up for said person not being around.. and almost makes it worse...I think? :grump:
I think I need to get my non-corny writing hat on.. :chin:
Yeah, I thought it was really nice that someone could think of so many ways to express how they felt and how much they missed me.
He drew pictures in it too. Was cute!
I've always wanted to make a guy a scrapbook. Unfortunately, I've never really had a chance.
Same.
The last 'love letter' I sent was a mini soft-porn mag featuring myself- when words don't express what you're feeling...
WOW! What an awesome idea!!
:angel:
My poses were the sexy secretary, starting with: glasses, a big folder, an austere hair do, smart shirt, slightly innapropriately short skirt, my sexiest boots (which were a present from him). then a 'shocked' I've dropped my folder pose, then bending over to pick up folder etc... like a mini-story.
Wow! That's uber inventive!
I take it the gift was very well received?
What a great pressie though... putting ideas in my head now
