Love Notes: Why
We Love Them...
Few people can converse verbally as well as
they can write their thoughts down on a piece of paper. Certainly,
that is not true in every case but, generally speaking, it is. That
being said, the point must be made that there is something very special
that takes place when we are presented with an originally composed note
or letter representing someone's best effort to convey their feelings of
love toward us.
It becomes obvious rather quickly as to whether
or not they are truly sincere as we consider the specialness of the effort,
the depth of thought put into it, and the tone in which it is written.
When those elements seem to be the basic ingredients that make up the sentiments
written on the paper in front of us, we find ourselves feeling very touched
and even a little warm and fuzzy inside.
Cupid's arrow hits it's mark and it feels
really good.
Doing that for someone else is equally fulfilling.
If it touches our heart, it probably will speak to the soul of that special
someone upon whom we have focused our attentions. In fact, this is
definitely one of those wonderful things in life where it is better to
give than to receive.
What woman has not experienced the skipped
beats of her heart as she reads tender words of love from the man she cares
most about in this world?
What man has not smiled with anticipation
upon reading a handwritten note signed with a lipstick kiss and smelling
of flowers and all things sweet and inviting?
Everyone loves a good love note.
Now, let's take a few moments and learn how
to write the kind that are sure to get a good response.

Love Notes from
the Heart...
Interestingly enough, professional writers work very hard
at sounding unprofessional when writing their special someones a love letter.
The point here is to let it flow from your heart. Be yourself.
The person who loves and knows you best will appreciate it so much more
when they sense that you are sincere with what you have written.
Avoid being flamboyant or too unlike the way
you talk in normal conversation. For a good love letter to truly
convey the essence of one's love for another, it must be a genuine representation
of the person who wrote it.
Bovee said it all when he wrote, "A
profusion of fancies and quotations is out of place in a love letter.
True feeling is always direct, and never deviates into by-ways to cull
flowers of rhetoric." I couldn't have said it any better.
In short order, let it be your words from your heart.
It will be appreciated even more.

Love Notes with
a Theme...
Believe it or not, love
is not always the best theme for a love letter. A well composed
note to the one you love should have a specific theme.
For example, what is happening in your loved
one's life at this time. Is he under a great deal of pressure at
work? Is she struggling with some health issues--perhaps even a little
depressed about it? Maybe you had an argument recently and things
have been a little tense between the two of you. Even if nothing
is happening lately that would suggest a theme, how about your appreciation
for his years of faithfully providing or how beautiful she is--both outside
and inside? Once you put your mind to it, you will find that there
may be many themes. The point is, be sure to have one.
Then express your love based on the theme of the letter.
(Note: Be sure to check out the Love Quotes
Encyclopedia located near the bottom of this page to find an appropriate
quote to add to your note once you have decided on a theme.)
Well, are you starting to catch on little
better? If so, stay with me here. You'll be glad you did.
I promise.

Love Notes with
a Purpose...
Not all love letters need to have
a purpose. Sometimes the most well received ones are those who
were written and given for no other purpose than to say "I love you" one
more time. Yes, it's true. Those written for no special reason
can touch the heart and convey our love as well as those which are written
with a purpose in mind.
Yet, the reverse is just as true.
Perhaps there has been some stress between
the two of you and a sweet note from you restating your love would be most
welcomed.
Could it be that she is worn out from working
all day and then keeping house in the evenings as well as tending to the
needs of the children? Why not compose a tender note for her with
a P.S. stating that you'll be taking care of dinner tonight, even if all
you can do is go out and bring back a pizza. Believe me, it will
be much appreciated.
Then there is always the love letter that
suggests a
more subtle reason for having been composed; you know, the one that
is intended to spark a little passion for
later on that evening. Well, what's wrong with that?
It's a purpose, isn't it? Just remember to be romantic as opposed
to crass and vulgar. There is a difference between a love note and
a 'lust' note. They both might have their place, but the romantic
kind
of love notes usually get us to the place we want to go a lot faster.
A wise romantic letter writer would know that.

Love Notes for
Fun & Pleasure...
Another great love letter
writer, Joubert, wrote this, "The true character of epistolary (letter
writing) style is playfulness and urbanity."
Notes from the heart ought to
be fun, too.
For example, do you and your love have pet
names for each other? Well. use them when you write your letter.
No one else in the whole world may know (nor would you want them to know)
that you are her Pooh Bear but, what the heck--between the two of
you it's fun and endearing. Enjoy having some fun with your love
notes. Use the names.
Play with each other in your notes.
For example, leave a note for her to find somewhere in the house letting
her know that when you get home tonight you are going to give her the biggest
hug and kiss she has ever gotten in her life. Do exactly that as
soon as you get home and make it dramatic. She'll be looking forward
to it all day long and if the whole silly thing gets both of you laughing
together, better still.
Another fun thing to do is to hide the letters
you write in places where they can be found easily and yet still be an
unexpected surprise. Places like purses, wallets, lunch boxes, coat pockets,
and taped to bathroom mirrors can make the whole thing all the more enjoyable.
In fact, one fellow I know told me that his lady left the words "I love
you!" written in lipstick in large cursive writing across the full
length of their bathroom mirror one day. It may not have qualified
as a letter, but as a note it certainly said it all in a very fun and whimsical
way.
Furthermore, once you
get into it, you might find yourself coming up with all kinds of wonderfully
outlandish ways to convey your love in written words. Take for example
the guy who led his lady to the window of their two-story home for that
overlooked their back yard. There, in the snow, he had written out
these words from an old familiar song, "As long as you love me so, let
it snow, let it snow." He went on to tell me that she decided
to keep him in the bedroom for a while longer. It worked (at least,
from his male point of view).
Once more, the computer is a great way to leave love notes
where they can be found as long as both of you use them. Send an
e-mail from the office computer to your home pc address. Or, write
one out and leave it under the screensaver for him or her to find when
they go to use it. Also, such things as free electric or virtual
greeting cards are available at numerous web sites (see the 'e-greeting
cards' button to the left) as most allow you to compose and include a short
note on them.
The point is, have a few laughs with your
notes and letters. Don't feel like they have to always be serious.
It's good to have some plain old fun with your love note writing, too.
Enjoy it. Bringing a smile is just as good as drawing a tear.

Love Notes Worth
Saving...
Why is it that those who get love
letters save them? The answer is obvious. Such a letter holds
much more significance than most all other kinds of communication.
It is not uncommon for a young woman to save such notes wrapped in a bundle
for the course of a lifetime. That being true, it becomes apparent
to us that a simple piece of paper filled with handwriting or nicely printed
out sentiments from the heart becomes a great gift to the one receiving
it.
When was the last time you sat down, pen or
keyboard in hand, and composed a sweet love letter for that special person?
If you still need help, take a look at the
links back in the left-hand column on this page. Perhaps they will
help you all the more.
In the meantime, don't be afraid to give it
a shot. Even the most meager attempt will be much appreciated if
it's from the heart.
Sometimes it will be rewarded, too.
Whatever the 'reward' might be is something
I am sure that the two of you can figure out together.

Love Notes: A
Sample...
Dear Kira,
Last Friday evening was wonderful.
Dancing with you is more than fun. It is an event.
When we walked into the club, I felt like the luckiest
guy in the world. I always get a kick out of how it is that you never
seem to be aware of all the guys who eye you whenever we go out somewhere.
You may not have noticed their gazes but I did. I kept thinking to
myself, "Eat your hearts out guys. She's all mine."
Then there was the new outfit that you wore.
It was made for dancing. In fact, it was made for you. You
were absolutely beautiful in it. I was so proud of you. You
made me feel so good just to be with you.
One more thing.....
As much as I enjoy fast dancing with you, those moments
when I hold you in my arms as we slow dance together are very special to
me. It's hard to explain, but it's sort of like there is no one else
there. We are the only two people in the universe. I could
dance that way with you forever. I really could.
Baby, I love you so much.
Thank you for loving me, too.
You are my lady.
Love,
Vince
