"I wrote a letter to my love and on the way I dropped it"

Here is a question that guys have all the time. Is writing letters to get your ex back really a good idea? It is indeed, provided you don't "drop the ball" in your letter writing! Take heed gentlemen! There are many people that write letters, text messages, e-mails and just about every other form of text-based correspondence that you can think of on a daily basis. Many of these people will resort to that form of communication when trying to get an ex-lover to fall in love with them again but does it work?

There is something to be said about writing a letter, particularly one written in your own hand. In this day and age, many people break up over the phone, over an instant messaging program, through mail or even by text-message and as a result, there is no closure so people tend to hold grudges. They say that the most honest way to break up with someone is in person, so surely this should work the opposite way, that is, if you want to get your ex back?

Absolutely, however it is all in what you say, how you say it and when you send it and how you offer it to her. Some of the simple guidelines you can follow range from using neutral, soft colored stationery, a flair pen that compliments your own hand writing, and the time and place you choose to sit down and write it. Remember that this is probably going to be a keepsake of hers, so make sure that you write from your heart, addressing her in a manner befitting, i.e. "to my darling Jacqueline", call her "the love of your life" and start the letter off by telling her why you are writing to her. Remind her of the reasons you fell in love with her, how much she changed your life for the better and how you cannot imagine living without her. Recall some of the special memories you shared, and all the qualities of hers that you adore.

You need to make a concerted effort in making an impression and you need to sound sincere and genuine at the same time. If you are not sure of how or what to write, do some research on the Internet or visit a library. There are many ways to find inspiration. If she has a favorite author or poet, find a quote of his/hers that suits the message you are trying to convey, or better yet, visit www.TheRomantic.com and see what ideas Michael Webb has for writing a romantic letter.

When closing up on completion of your letter make sure it is neatly folded and put it into a matching envelope with her address on the outside, if you are intending to mail it and even if you do hand deliver it to her doorstop and slip it under the door. Then you need to be patient and wait. If you have heeded my advice above, I can assure you, you will get the response you desire so make sure you are ready for the reunion.
