Ask Rob! The
Advice General
Dear Reader, Every romance needs love letters. For your love letter to be truly appreciated it has to come from the heart; be well thought out; contain words that evoke strong, passionate imagery in the recipient's heart. A great love letter not only has words from the heart it has a feel to it, a smell, a presentation that goes beyond the words that the letter contains to an emotion that the words inspire. Your romantic love letter, to be well received, should involve the following properties of romantic letter writing: Tone and Texture of Words The opening salutation (Dear -- ), should be the beginning of the embrace of the letter. "My Dearest", "My Love", "My Soulmate", "My Special (nickname of lover if you share nicknames)", are well thought-out beginnings to the letter that will show your romantic emotions and the beginning of the love message you are writing. Moving into your love letter's message body the first paragraph should invoke a sense of heart-felt longing of being together again soon. Exploring the emotion of being forced to be apart, of loss because of the time you are apart (My heart aches at our every separation), sets the response that will lead you into your second and succeeding paragraphs where you can describe the emotions of being reunited again and exploring your closeness, your intimacy, your love. The imagery of the time you'll soon be spending together can rarely be too strong. "Time stops when we are together, our love passes through the eternities of time" is a good comparison to the "farthest reaches and depths of loneliness of the moments we are apart". Needless to say, punctuation, spelling and grammar are of paramount importance. There should be no misunderstanding possible in your letter. The imagery you are writing and hopefully creating within your reader should be direct and inspirational. Presentation Love letters are written to bring strong emotional responses out of the receiver. The presentation of the letter is how you can immediately begin the emotional response to the letter that you want, before the letter is opened. You should use a colored (pink, red, yellow) oversized envelope with the recipient's name hand-written on the front. If necessary, you can put your return address information on the back of the envelope (if, for instance, the letter is being delivered by someone other than yourself). You can go beyond the traditional envelope to also have the letter inside a gift or token of affection. Included within a box of candy, inside a bouquet of roses, even inside a bottle, will make the finding and opening of the letter a memorable event on it's own. The letter should be handwritten on a heavy bond (24 lb or heavier) colored paper. Possibly with a romantic design bordering the page. Even if your handwriting is quite messy usually, you should take some time and practice good handwriting techniques to maintain the personal, romantic intentions of your letter. Handwritten has a much better personal statement than a computer printed letter. Delivery Person-to-person delivery is one acceptable delivery method but oftentimes it's not possible. Special delivery services, taxi delivery, registered mail, FedEx, etc., are inspired methods of delivery and presentation that allow the person receiving the love letter to have a moments wonder about the importance of what they are receiving. Including the letter with a flower or candy delivery will enhance the presentation of the love letter and can not be understated. Making the delivery as memorable as the actual letter itself can only add to the emotions that will be felt as the letter is read and accepted. Samples to get you started:
Whenever I think of you I
thought I saw you earlier today
My heart has won the race against all others that have wanted to
love you,
Just as a bird tumbles from the nest to make it's first flight,
to be caught by the wind and soar to new heights,
