How to Write a Love Letter to Your Same-Sex Girlfriend or Boyfriend




Revive the art of letter writing by penning a love letter to that woman or man who makes your head spin. Here's how to write a love letter to your same-sex girlfriend or boyfriend.
 
 
Steps:
1.  Decide why you're writing the letter and stick to the point - whether it's to tell your partner that you love him or her after all these years or to apologize to a promising potential mate for a horrible date. No one likes it when you beat around the bush.
 
2.  Keep your letter short.
 
3.  Remind the recipient how lucky you are to be together, since finding people to date is often difficult for gays and lesbians.
 
4.  Use humor if you know how and you think he or she will understand it, but remember that sarcasm doesn't translate well on the written page.
 
5.  Tell the recipient why you love him or her, not just that you do. Putting that sentiment into words will prove that you really are in love.
 
6.  Be creative in choosing paper - or don't use paper at all. A textured paper that you've ripped along the edges would be rustic and unique, as would a freshly starched cloth napkin that you've sprayed with your cologne or perfume.
 
7.  Write the letter in your own handwriting, if possible, even if it's barely legible. That makes the letter even more personal and unique.
 
8.  Date the note for a record of when it was written.
 
9.  Deliver the letter in an unconventional way - the sneakier the better.
 
10.  Include a small gift in the envelope, if you use one. For example, many bookstores sell flat copper or tin bookmarks that slide neatly into envelopes.
 
 
Tips:
You may want to make a draft of your letter on scrap paper before you actually write it out. That way, you'll be less likely to go on too long or make mistakes.
 
Sure, you can e-mail a love letter, but that method isn't as private or as personal as handwriting. If you're both techies, there's nothing wrong with using e-mail, but consider handwriting a letter on another occasion.
