Is it corny to write a girl you like a love letter?

[BonsaiK]

Hey guys there's this girl I really like but I'm not sure if she likes me or if she's just being really friendly, it can be hard to tell sometimes. So would it be corny to write her a letter explaining how I feel or is that creepy and pathetic? or will she think it's sweet. She keeps telling me " I am heaps funny" and she always mentions that she is single and we had a great chat and I think I was quite charming and funny but once again I really can't tell if she actually likes me or if shes just one of those outgoing super friendly girls. Please Help

Writing a love letter is the wrong way to get the girl. Girls sometimes like love letters if they're already in a relationship with that person, but it's not how you want to approach this situation.

She's already dropped some hints. She says you're funny and that she's single. So instead of getting all lovey-dovey on her, why not just ask her on a fun date instead? Not as in "I really like you and will you go out with me please or I'll be sad", which will make her run a million miles, but more along the lines of "hey, I'm planning on doing [insert social activity x here] this weekend, how would you like to do it with me?". Make it something where you can have a good time together, that you can both enjoy.

She likes you because you're fun so prove you're that fun guy and don't blow it by getting all deep and meaningful. Just go out with her, have a good time, and show her that you're the person who is a great time to hang out with that she thinks you are. At the end of it, tell her you had a good time and you'd like to do this again sometime, or something like it. Keep it up and there's a good chance you'll have a girlfriend and you'll have barely even had to do anything...

Well, I'd say that it all depends, once you have found out that she likes you, (If she does) maybe then would be a good time to write a love letter. If you really want to send it now though it is just like walking in the dark, not sure what you're even doing there. It'd be best to leave it until later, but now on my note and most of my friend's ideas about this. Nearly ALL of us girls love getting love notes, ESPECIALLY from those whom we like/vise versa. Although one of my friends got a note from 'anonymous' and it turned out it was my nephew. Even before she knew who it was, she was put off. So, it all depends on the type of girl she is. Hope this helps

you can either read the letter at your future wedding or etch it onto your gravestone either way it will make a good story

i've actually written a few love letters in my time and although all occasions went well i'm pretty confident in saying the letters themselves weren't what changed the girls mind. i imagine had the girls not been interested in the first place it would have resulted in more awkwardness and embarrassment than necessary

feel free to write your feelings down to help solidify what you want to say, hell even use them as cue cards but do not give a girl a piece of paper poring out your heart unless you are Shakespeare

A letter shows a lack of confidence. If you want to tell her how you feel then you need to ask her out. If you think she's dropping hints then act. Ask her out. Worst case scenario, she says no. The world goes on and you'll get over it.

Yes girls love love letters It's nice to know there still romantic guys out there.
And yes it corny but corny's good

I dont think it is cheesy or corny. I think it is sweet.
But if it gets into the wrong hands, it can be shared around with other people etc.

I dont think it takes a love letter to ask her out.

I am currently doing a Bachelor of Writing at Uni so I think I can write a pretty good note. So thank you for your advice on this, I wasn't really expecting such mixed results but I think my mind was already made up before I made this post.

Now this is corny but i feel like Scott Pilgrim and she is my Ramona Flowers.
P.S I am not going to write that in my note.
Thanks for all the posts.

Attaboy. Of course it's corny. Doesn't mean it can't or won't work if you do a good job of it. My first ever girlfriend, we got together because I wrote her a "love letter". And believe you me, nothing will ever be as cornball as that fucking letter was. I must have been out of my mind. But, it worked, and we had a three year relationship that did wonders for my confidence. You letter her good.

Corny? Probablly. But it doesn't matter, cause she'll love it.

Uh... unless that happens.

Ummm....guys? Perhaps..you haven't realized it ,but....

...I think the issue is resolved by now

OT: Love letters per se aren't bad, but it really depends on who you are giving it to and how your standing with said person is. In the case of the OP it certainly sounds reasonable if he made a decent effort. Sadly we will probably never know if it worked or not >_>
