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.
