Writing a letter.
 
So, Ive decide i want to send this chick a letter in the mail asking her out, and Ive got a few questions about addressing the envelope.

Does It need a stamp if she lives in the same town as me?
Do I Need to put a return address on it?
And Do I need to include the postal codes? Does that mean I Have to ask her for hers, cause i kinda wanted it to be a surprise. I Know i could just call her, or ask her out with E-mail, but this is a little more "romantic" And i can include a Card. Thanks in Advance.

Whatever you do, don't call her a chick in the letter

Yes, 42 cents. It'd require a stamp to send a letter to your next door neighbor.

Quote:

It'd be polite..

Well if she's in the same town, it should still be the same zip code.. you don't need the suffix.

I'd suggest calling her or asking her in person. Snail mail is well.. slow... and you wont know for sure if she actually did receive the mail. Accidents happen and sometimes mail doesnt process.. and sometimes mail arrives at my house and it's never forwarded to me by my parents.

Also.. who emails girls when you want to ask them out :P

Hehe, I Dont think she'd really care, i call her Dude, and Dudette at school all the time.

Oh Really? I could've sworn my friend who lives down the street postal codes last digit differs mine by two?

But anyway, I Already got her A Card, so im gonna get it to her somehow.

masked_marsoe May 23rd, 2007 12:43 PM

Why not just talk to her?

-Section- May 23rd, 2007 09:10 PM

Honestly? I'd save the cards for later.

I agree, girls like being asked in person better.

Though you'll be a nervous wreck..

Yes, it is true, there are sometimes many postal codes within one city. (Houston area has 107 different postal codes, mainly starting with 770, then there's a few 773 and 775's).

Finding her postal code is easy: if your school has a directory and she's in there, the postal code should be there. Another way: if you have just her address, type that into google maps with the city, and the postal code should pop up over to the left and on the map.

Admiral Donutz May 24th, 2007 07:14 AM

If you know her adress then why not just deliver the letter yourself?

And yes I would write a return adress on it (street,townname, zipcode etc.).

Can't you ask her out in person? Do she know you (and how well does she know you?)?

Crimson Butterfly May 24th, 2007 07:32 AM

Ha, snail mail dating is a new one to me. If you're too shy to ask in person then either email her, or phone her. I'm too shy to ask people out in general (well, girls, but yeah...) so if I ever need to ask them out, I do it over the phone. So much more casual, and you get the added bonus of the them not seeing you make all the awkward "Oh shit, I'm nervous..." body gestures.

Jill May 24th, 2007 10:20 AM

It is kinda a better idea to ask her in person. If you feel comfortable enough to call her dude and stuff...then you should feel comfortable enough to ask her out. The best way to do it is to tell her what you are planning to do and ask her politely if she would like to go with you. Whatever you do...do not start it off by saying...."What are you doing Saturday night?"

If you must send the letter....I guess it is okay. You might ask yourself...how will she respond? Will she write you back? Tell you next time she sees you? What do you want her to do?

Be the first to have this revolutionary invention! Who knows, today it' s the telephone, tomorrow maybe there is going to be even mass production!

You may live on the edge of a postal zone. I for example am on the edge of a postal zone, just up the road and it's a different post code.

Giving it to her yourself would add a more personal touch.

Oh my gosh. I done something like that before. :uhoh: It is so cool you can joke about it. I'm still embarassed to this day. :lol:

Lukeh May 24th, 2007 02:05 PM

Someone else could you know, ask her in person and beat the United States Postal Service to her.

Sh0wdowN May 24th, 2007 02:11 PM

Ask her in person 'cause then you have the option of physically overpowering her if she disapproves of your proposal.

I Know that, I'm not stupid, so dont "bash on me" Just because I Want to try something different. I'm not really doing it to ask her out, not yet anyway, im just doing it to let her know i have feelings for her. And Ive tried sending her "romantic messages" over E-mail, but she doesnt take them seriously. Right now i'm thinking I'll just give it to her in person. Im just a little nervous though, because i did a similiar thing in grade 6, i gave a chick who i liked a letter and she ripped it up right in my face, before she even finished reading the first sentence.

The whole ripping up in your face thing kind of sucks. But I do have a question for you. When you are giving her this letter saying your feelings, what it she supposed to do with this info? Do you have a perpose for giving the letter to her, if not to ask her out? What is she supposed to do with the info? If you were in her place, imagine what you would think if someone gave you a letter of that sort and what your reaction would be. I'm not saying don't do it, because it's a great idea, but think about the whole situation from her perspective and how you/she may react. Good luck with the whole thing though.

AzH May 24th, 2007 03:54 PM

I actually think that sending a letter is a great idea. Who ever said that romance is dead? It would be something for her to keep forever. She'll really appreciate it - if not she's a bitch not worthy of your effort.

Thanks abunch AzH.

As To Respond to Sunray.... I Dont really have an answer for that, lol. In A Way I AM Asking her out, but in a way Im Not. I Guess, in a way, im asking her if she would date me if i asked her after summer, and letting her know that i like her. It's Really just more of a type of "gesture" I Suppose.

Anyway, I Havent written the letter yet, I Just got her a card, But Im still contemplating how to go about writting it.

Lord Rumpuss V May 26th, 2007 01:39 AM

Why not just send her a card with a note in it if you want to be on the safe side, Just a suggestion.

MALESTROM May 27th, 2007 06:26 PM

In this new age world, judge by the way you refer to her, she wouldn't be able to appreciate the affection of the note...or consider you a friend and laugh in your face....

I'd suggest, maybe trying to get a little closer to her first, start acting different, in a way not to thcange the way you normally act, to make her uncomfortable, but in a sense that, more outgoing and affectionate...

After that, or whatever method used to confirm, then you go in for the kill.....the letter, as AZH said, would be something you two can look back on, or she can, even after you're not with her anymore...
