EDIT: This is probably the worst idea I've had in my whole lifespan. I originally intended to burn the letter for some stupid emotional closure, but decided not to. I'm starting to think it's best that I DO burn the letter..
Well, it finally happened flood. After almost a year of hiding my feelings from this girl for so long and barely talking to her, last week out of frustration about my feelings for her I wrote her a letter explaining my feelings. To my surprise, it actually turned out way better than I thought.
I wrote about a page and 1/4 long, and I showed my letter to various girls and all said it was very sweet and that I should give it to her. A couple said they'd be surprised if she didn't like me back after that or even be flattered.
It seems to be the season of love around school, and I guess it was about time I manned up.
I'll let you know about what happened after this Friday, I plan on putting it in her locker and waiting for her response.
So for more discussion value, have you ever done something to reveal your feelings for that special someone?
[b]HERE'S THE LETTER[/b]
[i]"Gina,
I know we don't talk much or really know each other well, but I've had these feelings for you for the longest time now. I never really knew exactly what they were or what they mean, but I good a good vibe from you. You seem very sweet and you are really pretty, that's why I still haven't had the guys to talk to you. I'm nervous, always have been. Every time I see you my heart skips a beat and I can't stop thinking about you.
The feelings I have almost always frustrate me because I never know what to do. I've had some terrible experience with girls in the past, that's also why I can't just go up to you and actually have a meaningful conversation and get to know you. I'm afraid. I don't really know what you're like or if you'd even like me. I can't control it. I never knew what kept me from approaching you until now, and it's fear.
These feelings for you started small in May of freshman year and have slowly grown over this year up to now, as I write this in April of sophomore year. All this time I had to hide it from you because I was different then compared to now. I've grown a lot and been through some bad situations, but I still keep coming back to you. for some reason. I may not be as attractive or smart as you, but I have a good heart. Despite what society dictates about the values of love in general, I have a feeling that you have heart too.
Honestly I don't even know why I'm writing this letter or if I'll give it to you. I don't know what you think of m, but I think good of you. I'd love to get to know you better and maybe if I'm lucky be with you.
I'm not asking you out or trying to whatever it is, I'm writing to get this off my chest finally. Like I said before, I have no clue what you think of me at all, but at this point I don't think I'll ever know. Some people tell me I shouldn't even bother with you because I might be going to Palm Bay next year (which I dread) but in my hear I know I need to at least do something
Here goes nothing. -Nick"[/i]

I'm burning the letter. After much re-evaluation of the situation, I've decided to burn it and just move on. I feel crazy and scared of what I'm seeing of myself: Some lonely guy who fell in love with a persona he attached to some pretty girl he barely knew. Thanks for getting some common sense into me flood, I almost made a huge mistake.
-
Creepy. No one wants or starts with that much infatuation or commitment. It also feels like you're putting her in a position where she'd look bad for saying no. That's a big no no. Honestly OP, it seems like you've obsessed over her for so long without actually talking to her (or getting to know her) that you've invented some ideal persona that she can never live up to. My advice; burn the letter and start small on Monday. This won't be fun for anyone otherwise.

Check for spelling/grammar errors. [b]"but I good a good vibe from you"[/b] Say what!?

GINA THATS A WHORE NAME

Oh God...

Edited by mRNA: 4/10/2013 2:38:47 AMjust...no. cut the drama. You want to get to know her; talk to her, act humorous, outgoing, show yourself, make her day brighter. If after a while it doesn't feel like she's returning any good to you, forget it.
-
Should have done the toast/envelope method.
-
Look man just pull her to the side the next time you get the chance and just explain yourself. But upfront and real. No predetermined shit. Just all off the top.
-
S.S.D.D
-
YOLO. Seriously, if you really are leaving that school next year you have nothing to worry about. You won't see her again for the rest of your life.
-
You spent half the letter saying really generic stuff, and the other half putting yourself down. This will go well.
-
Dam son, you shouldve said that to her in real life. It would've been epic.
-
Now that you post the letter, I think you'd be better off scrapping that letter and writing a new one or I don't know, actually talking to her....
-
Amazing how you didn't have the courage to say it in person. What's even more pathetic is that you did nothing for an entire year.
-
Good luck to you.
-
Pizza! Pizza! (You're a stalker OP)
-
Kind of creepy...
-
You waited a year?

Edited by ROFL Wolf1254: 4/10/2013 1:11:33 AMPosted the letter, now that I read it again it sounds really stupid on an internet forum ;__; And from what you guys are saying, it is starting to seem a lot more creepier...
-
Isn't that precious.
-
I just walked up to the girl I liked and started talking to her,it worked out great. It's alot easier than you're making it I think. You should post the letter if you can, I'm sure it's great, maybe some forumers can make some improvements. I know I'd love to see it.
-
You could circumvent that by talking to her.
-
Best of luck to you man, hope it works out.
-
Did you type it up and print it or did you write it out in calligraphy on fine parchment and sealed it with wax drippings?
-
a letter out of left field like that would be... odd? strike up normal conversation with her, love letters are kinda sappy. More of the stuff you do when you know her a bit better.
