I wrote my crush (coworker).a letter 5 days ago. I had to. my heart forced me to. All this time I was crushing on him, going out with him in my mind he was dating my friend.they must be laughing at me now. he probably let her read it, of course why not. I swear I felt the connection.the attraction. So I wrote him told him how I felt alnd handed to him personnaly then quit the job. Was gonna leave anyway but I didn,t want to regret not telling him. It was for me more than for him. I really wanted him though. Oh well.

I have usually fought off that urge, to write a letter like that. I never regret when I do as it is one of those things best left unsaid. I have regretted doing it when I did write the letter. Its a useless sort of gesture and perhaps too abstract.

Before I say anything else, I love that you quoted "Youth" by Daughter. I love that song. Anyway, my old roommate did a similar thing with a coworker last year. She said it felt better to get it over with and tell him how she felt, even though she knew the guy was taken. I think it's always best to have closure in any situation.

Oh I've been there. I did the letter writing thing twice when I was younger. It is so much better to do it face to face because you get closure straight away rather than spending days waiting for a response.

But I know what you mean. It's something that I felt I had to do.

Hopefully he's not laughing at you. In my experiences both guys I wrote letters for were flattered and surprised, but didn't feel the same way and felt bad about telling me because they thought I'd been brave and gone to a lot of effort, wheras in reality it was easier for me to write things down than it was for me to put things into words verbally. Looking back it was a bit of a cop out for me.

I don't regret it because it was part of my growth as a person. If I hadn't done it I wouldn't have learned that it's too stressful and I won't do it again.
