I am working on one right now.

It was such a cheesy nonsensical piece of jibberish that I forgot trying to write another one again.

well, I am giving my note in Japanese.
This is my 7th try to translate a good note.

Love notes are pathetic and corny bits of nonsense made by lonely pre-teens who don't have the balls to talk to women face-to-face.

Or, couples who want to spice things up

Most couples I know would just hug and smooch instead. Why write a silly little note to your partner when you can have direct physical and verbal contact with them?

Ah,but a note between a couple concerning "what I'd like to do tonight" is hardly the same thing as "Hi, I've been staring at the back of your head in history class for the past two months and...gee your cool."
I have to agree with Cheese on this one,man up and step up,talk to the lady face to face.
However,if you can't do that...make her a CD with lots of songs expressing how you feel...might I suggest Rick Astley to start.

Most couples I know would just hug and smooch instead. It's tangible.

It's possible to do all of them

What if you're in a longer-distance relationship? Sending a love letter could really make someone's day, and it'd mean far more. How easy is it to send an e-mail saying "i love you <333" to a person? Writing a love note or letter means that you actually took the time to think about what you wrote, physically put it onto a piece of paper, and mailed it to the person. That means hell of a lot more then just a 2 second e-message to someone.

Alright.

Good luck anyway, I found doing this doesn't work for me, but it should for someone.

I found that if it's meant to be, it'll just happen.

You'll know.

"Love" is no more than the desire to make babies.

If I were to write a Love Note, it would end up just being a video of Cats mating or something.

I agree with Gwar.

I may have once liked women for personalities, but at 15, I've fallen to the Dark side...

Damn cookies...

So you got fat?

We play 40k, if you are not fat already you are failure to the Nekbeards!

I disagree, Gwar. I've loved without wanting to have sex.

I'm guessing you're single, right?

You sir, are a liar and a charlatan!

Gwar! wrote:"Love" is no more than the desire to make babies.

There's love and there's lust and they're often related but absolutely not the same thing.


I've never written a love note, by the way. I've proofread one for a friend, and I've gotten a couple a long time ago. I have no problem with the idea, in a note you have the time to craft your words perfectly, so you can potentially say things better than you ever would in conversation. But we aren't all poets, and it's pretty hard to keep on the right side of the line between heartfelt and schmaltzy. Even if its schmaltzy, though, sentiment counts for a lot.

I wrote a very kinky letter once. But it was a dare lol

Actually they are. "Love" is just the need to procreate that has had artificial social constructs placed upon it.

Then explain the love of a parent for their child. Explain the love of an elderly couple, who dearly love each other despite having stopped having sex decades ago.

You did see the part regarding "artificial social constructs"?

In any case, that only applies to the example of the Elderly Couple.
The "Love" of a Parent towards the child is nothing but a chemical stimuli in the brain telling you "Hey, you've invested a lot of energy and resources into that thing, don't feth it up."

And love between a young couple is also heavily driven by chemicals in the brain. But so is hunger, and that's still very real, and in no way an artifical social construct.

Gwar. stop being such a heartless cynic.
You probably once got your heart broken huh?
you need to stop playing 40k so much and go to a single mixer or something.

I get love notes all the time!

Huh? If I were Heartless, I would be, well, dead. And no, my Heart is not broken, though there is a genetic disposition I have most likely inherited for certain maladies of the Cardiac Tissue.

Errm... You mean the need to Procreate is driven by Biochemical reactions. That is what is real. "Love" is just a social construct set to give arbitrary rules for that feeling.

O my god i just reaalised. Gwar must be a robot.

Actually, I do believe that the term that would be most appropriate for your "realisation" would be "Android". A Robot is "a virtual or mechanical artificial agent", while An android "is a robot or synthetic organism designed to look and act like a human" which I very well may be, were I constructed and programmed to believe so.

Love notes are a fantastic art form that his been abused and forgotten by so many. Trust me, the unbridled joy I have seen on a woman's face from receiving one, especially when she feels forgotten or a little down, is nearly indescribable. Women are by design romantic, and they love it when men put the extra bit of effort into making them feel special. BTW, I have written several love notes, I usually find the inspiration to write one after I am done reading Lord Byron's work...
