How to write love letters like old times
(Basically Making an effort for her, i will have to get started somewhere)
- learning it from ChatGPT and other AI models, it 2025 im ultra focuced on my research projects of masters in Rowan that i think i am way less romantic compares to my 18s which not be fare with my future wife, so i think its time for change, this time i will focused towards old style of writing letters, i will mention key points words principles philoshipies, other than spelling mistakes i will not try to fix the paragraphs i will keep it raw.
so we'll have to channel a blend of old-world romance, slow elegance and a touch of vulnerablity, flowing sentences and feeling that linger between the lines
1. Let's set the Scene
- No phone, no rush —— the slower you think, the more sincere it will read
- Take time, think like you are super relax no rush, no urgency (as i always live on do or die situations, bad rewiring)
2. Structure of a Romantic Letter
- An Affection Saluation: instead of writing dear or hiii, try to call her with her pet name which is only between you too, and LLM is suggesting me something like
"My dearest...", "Beloved...", "To the keeper of my restless heart..."
- A Warm opening line —— set the mood right away
"Since the movement our eyes met, the days have carried your name in their wing" (probably hardest part i guess 😅, i will practice)
- The Heart of the Letter —— The biggest section. Include:
- Admiration (what you love about them —— physical, emotional, moral)
- Memories (a shared moment you still replay in your mind) *were in my case i blush a lot, i want to keep that
- Yearning (what you wish for, the ache of distance or time apart)
- A hopeful or devoted closing —— Promise, wish or vow.
"Until my last breath, yours will be the first and final name upon it"
- A Signature that is yours —— Don't just sign your name
"Ever and only yours," "The one who loves you beyond the horizon"
3. Writing tips for Old-Time Romance
- Use rich imagenery —— compare their eyes to something timeless, their laughter to music, their presence to sunlight.
- Borrow rhythm from poetry —— Old love letters often read like prose-poems.
- Avoid modern slang —— Swap "I miss you a lot" with "Yoru absence weighs upon me like a winter without a sum"
- Let sentence breath —— Don't cram; long meandering sentences are elegance.
- Write in the present tense when describing your love —— it makes it feel alive
4. Example from LLM (definately not me, working towards it)
My dearest,
It has been but three days since I last saw you, yet each hour has stretched into a slow eternity. The garden we walked together still keeps the memory of your laughter in its leaves; the evening wind carries whispers of your voice to my ear.
You are in the turn of every thought, the pause of every breath. I had not known that the heart could ache with joy until you placed your hand in mine.
Until I see you again, I shall speak to the moon as though it were your face, and tell it every secret I dare not keep from you.
Ever and only yours, —*
