Love Letters to Write to a Boyfriend

Nothing quite says "I love you" like love letters. Write to a boyfriend a beautiful love letter - and you just might make him fall more deeply in love with you than he already is! Think love letters are too mushy (and therefore unappreciated) by most men? Think again: in my experience, even some of the toughest-acting guys I have known melted like butter after receiving love letters that follow my simple recipe.
If you are interested in writing love letters to your boyfriend, you might be feeling a bit intimidated by the whole thing. After all, writing is hard, right? Well, not necessarily. If you follow these 5 simple steps you can't go wrong, and your boyfriend will like putty in your hands:



1. Get into the right mood:
As any writer will tell you, what we write is greatly affected by our mood and our surroundings. To write a successful love letter to your boyfriend, start by getting your head and heart in the right place. Do whatever it takes to get yourself into a mellow, giving mood. Some of the things I do to get into the romantic writing mood include: putting on soft music, lighting incense, taking a warm bath, or even dressing in my favorite lingerie or negligee before sitting down to write. By doing these things, a subtle transformation comes over me and I am in the right place, mentally and physically, to write a love letter to my boyfriend.
2. Use beautiful stationery:
A few words about the writing medium you choose. First -and hopefully this goes without saying - be sure to refrain from e-mailing or texting your love letter to your boyfriend! For some things in life, the formal path is the better option - and writing love letters is one of those things. Nothing says "I didn't care enough to send the very best" than does an e-mailed love letter!
Second, make sure you choose beautiful stationery for your romantic literary creation. Soft whites are my favorite. Be sure to avoid flashy or gaudy colors. And, I suggest using black ink (brown ink is a close second). Since good stationery can be pricey, be sure to practice writing out your letter on scrap paper until you are satisfied with the words you have chosen. Then, write it out onto your good stationery when you think you are ready to create the final draft.
3. Make it substantive with good content:
Okay, now the tough part - the content. What should you write about? I suggest choosing a specific, simple theme and then sticking to it throughout your letter. Example themes include: recalling how you felt when the two of you first met, and, colorfully recounting a special dinner you had together.
Unless you truly excel at poetry, I suggest avoiding writing your own poems. Feel free to include part of a favorite love poem, but don't make that the main substance of your love letter to your boyfriend. Rather, stick to your main theme (see above) and write just a few paragraphs. Focus primarily on how you feel and how he makes you feel. Tell him how romantic he makes you feel, and relate those feelings back to your theme.
4. Use flowery language:
Even you are likely not a poet or a professional romance writer, this doesn't mean you should avoid poetic-sounding language. Have a little fun with your letter. Sprinkle flowery-sounding phrases like "our love," "your scent," "deep feelings," and "true to you" here and there in your letter. He will be impressed, and these words will add to the overall ambience of your letter.
5. Re-write your letter a few times before sending:
Your love letter will not be perfect on the first try. In fact, you may end up writing your letter five or more times before it sounds right (see my suggestion above about using scrap paper). Hint: between each version, let your letter sit for a few hours or days and then re-read it. When you do, any particularly awkward phrases will jump out at you - those phrases should be the first to go. After a few re-writes, your letter should improve significantly.
Once you have completed your love letter to your boyfriend, it is time to send it off. If he already loves you, he will love you even more for the gesture. If he had been doubting the depth of your feelings for him, your letter should help remove that doubt. A well-written, thoughtful love letter can help strengthen any relationship, and it can bring the two of you closer than ever.

Romantic Love- What are the Signs?



All of us talk of love. Most of us have heard of romantic love. Few of us have felt romantic love. I say few because everyone does not fall in deep romantic love. For many of us it is simple relationship that goes little beyond friendship. But in romantic love the relationship is totally different. Such love gives great pleasure and immense pain after break-up. The pain may at times be so much that one may regret ever falling in romantic love. How it feels when we are in deep romantic love? We find everything about our partner romantic. Their talk, their walk, their smile and their laugh everything sounds good to us.We try of various ways to please our partner. We go to a great extent to fulfill their desires and make them happy. This is a big motivator. Many people have achieved great heights in their life because they wanted to do something for their partner. That is why it said that behind every successful man there is a woman.We feel highly confident and self-assured when we are in romantic love. It is considered an achievement. We feel that we have done something great.We lose sense of reality. We live in a dream world most of the times. Our thoughts are always centered on our partner. This can be very dangerous in some cases. After the love disappears, it becomes very difficult to adjust with life again.We become adventurous. Our mind finds way to be with our partner despite major obstacles. Our moral values may also change at times.Our body undergoes hormonal changes. Our reproductive hormones increase and we are most of the times in a state of excitement.We feel that we are one with our partner in all the ways. We become dependent upon them for getting pleasure and our earlier hobbies undergo change. This causes great ache after break- up.

Love Letters a New Trend - Sex and the City


Napoleon wrote, 'I awake all filled with you. Your image and the intoxicating pleasures of last night, allow my senses no rest.' Written decades ago yet, still incredibly passionate.
We may not write 75,000 letters in our lifetime, as Napoleon did. Many of which were to Josephine, both before and during their marriage. Yet we cannot deny the pleasure that one heartfelt letter can bring.
With the release of the new film, 'Sex and the City,' we are seeing a possible new trend. The rebirth of the love letter. To have one pour their emotions onto a piece of paper. Laying the heart exposed, anticipating a favorable response.
So what then has played a pivotal role in the revival of this lost art?
Was it the scene where Carrie read to Mr. Big? Absolutely! Thus, creating a wide spread epidemic, to say the least. Millions of women set out on what should have been a simple journey. To have, to hold, their own copy of 'Love Letters of Great Men.' All for naught, their search was in vain. 'We've been had,' came the outcry. It doesn't exist.
All was not lost. In order to satisfy the requests of these hungry women, their focus was directed away from the big screen, to a book called, "Love Letters of Great Men and Women: From the Eighteenth Century to the Present Day." I love happy endings!
Through my own personal research, I was able to stumble upon some very enticing tidbits. The oldest love letter was said to have been written on a brick. We can only hope the recipient, never got angry.
And Beethoven, a man with a secret? It is reported that at the time of his death a single love letter was found among his possessions. Written to his Immortal Beloved. Were there more? Had she returned it? He tells her, "can our love endure except through sacrifices, except through not demanding everything."
In closing, I have a question for you, "Has a love letter ever changed your life?" I would love hearing your story. Or if you would like to share your opinions, thoughts, regarding the book, "Love Letters of Great Men and Women: From the Eighteenth Century to the Present Day," visit me at Romantic Love Letters
