Love letter received... what should I do?

Post Reply New Topic

I received a love letter from one of my friends. It's 4 pages long, and very extensive (though I won't go into detail).

I literally have no idea how to respond to it. And I'm not sure how to explain it in an understandable way. I guess I'll just say that it's a little awkward and new.

What should I do?

Hey Makayla

I think what you do about this letter all depends on how you feel about what is written and the nature of it.
Was it delivered to you by the person that wrote it or did you not see them hand it / post it to you? Do you like what is written? More importantly do you like who wrote it and did you know about how they felt before the letter?

Eh four pages. . . There's alot easier ways to escape the Friend zone than write a book.

Tell him it's not long enough.

That depends on whether you like him as more than friend or not. The main reason why he wrote those 4 pages was to know the answer to that.

At that age I wouldn't know how to respond either. Especially four pages . Just be flattered if you have no strong feelings for this person. I had a friend give me a bouquet when my boyfriend was away and i thanked them and gave them a kiss on the cheek. They got the message and we remained friends.

Four pages? Sounds like he has the potential to be kinda needy and very, very wordy. If that's not what you want, tell him you are flattered but would rather remain friends. If you do like him, tell him that you appreciate the letter and would like to go out with him sometimes.

Good luck.

Is it double spaced? In Times New Roman font size 12? just joking.

Just Read it and write back to him
Four pages does sound a bit too overwhelming but just because he wrote 4 pages
doesn't mean you should write back 4 pages equivalent of how you feel about him.

Don't feel compelled to write back.

If you feel like you "like" him or have feelings of wanting a relationship, sure, write back.

If not, maybe text him or call him and say, "Thank you for the letter, it was really sweet, but I'm not looking for a relationship at the moment. I'm sorry." or something along those lines

First thing I would do is make sure I'm not the butt of a very cruel joke.

Had the same crap pulled on me in school. I knew beforehand though that it was a tarp. They actually got a girl to do the writing so the handwriting looked like it came from a girl.

Well played, bastards, well played.

I'm...really not sure.

If it's 4 pages, chances are he's serious.

All my current relationship advice is currently under severe scrutiny due to IRL circumstances; so I don't have any advice. I'm not entirely sure what relationship mechanics get changed between genders anyway.

4 pages

Thanks for the advice, everyone.

I don't know what I'll do. Maybe I'll just write a reply saying I'll think about it?
