Secret admirer letter, pour heart out, or short and sweet?

[Anjuu]

Okay guys, I'm in college and the guy I like is graduating next spring. I want to express my gratitude for his kindness and how he has made a positive impact on my life (without giving too much clues away). The fact that he is leaving makes me sad, but I know that we will be friends forever.

I thought about doing this during Valentine's Day. I will not tell him who I am. There is a lot of girls who like him anyways, so he'll have fun guessing. Haha.

I know that he likes letters because he used to write to his ex-gf all the time before. I never wrote a secret admirer letter before. I know he won't think it is childish or anything.

Should I pour my feelings out or keep it short and sweet? I tend to be highly detailed.. Thank you



P.S It has nothing to do with confidence issue. He does not like girls physically confessing it to him. I thought it will be sweet to write a letter on Valentine's day.

Well, if you think sending a letter to him is a good aproach, just pour your heart out. If you pretend not to reveal the author (wich I think is wrong, since you will never know if you two could be together if you never try or say it), just leave it blank. But my sincere and honest opinion, just reveal who you are, or make a surprise, or just say it at the end of the letter.

Good luck

Question... How would you get it to him without revealing yourself?

I will slip it under his dorm room and hope his roommate won't see it...

I wouldn't pour your heart out, unless you absolutely don't want any chance with him and you just want to get it out of your system.

Assuming you want to reassure him that he's appreciated, I'd say short and sweet, no the point, nothing over the top. You should consider signing it... or a direct clue for fun.

Then again, I have no clue. I'd be happy to receive the latter.

I would go for the moderate approach...suggest a nice amount of feelings but not full-out pouring yourself into it...

Good luck, by the way.

If you care that much about him why would you risk him thinking it is another girl and off that he makes a deeper connection with another would didn't write the letter? If it was me I would tell him so he knows who wrote it, I'd rather feel a bit embarrassed that he knows how I feel then hide that I feel that way to him. Good luck regardless.

Why not try suggesting to him that he should take you for a drink?

If this guy liked you I would imagine he would ask you out on date. That's what I'd do. But maybe he needs a little help. I think if you mention what I first said maybe it'd click that he should ask you out and there ya go... if it goes according to plan.
