| Alternatives to a love letter |
| It won't be fair to say love letters are obsolete. But a thousand and one other ways exist to dial up another heart. Love letters have their problems and only the deepest old fashioned romantics have clung to them. Love letters most frequently arise at the beginning of the relationship and are much more interesting when the two sides have a lot to prove to each other and secretly too. A lot of people are simply not creative enough and so they stick to it. Their simplicity can sometimes be boring and you can actually loose marks if the heart you want to woo thinks you've just shamelessly copied some of Dante's or Shakespeare's finest romantic compositions. But here are some rather creative ways through which you can knock and find your way to a heart that makes you dream. |
| Flowers! You needn't look further. Flowers! All the love poetry in the world is found on flowers. A bouquet of fresh flowers you boldly present to someone tells them how sweet-smelling you think they are. Flowers show you are caring. I've never seen a clumsy, ill-natured fellow harvest a flower. Flowers are also a thing of the highly cultured. They tell your would-be chap or guy the level of your thoughts. Girls tend to trust guys who offer flowers because it shows how healthy they want the relationship to be. Place a lovely bouquet of roses accompanied by a small note bearing your name on his/her desk if you can't stand the crowd. Flowers readily offer you a clue as to what could be the outcome of your proposal. If your flower is held reverently and smelled every now and then, that's a good sign. If it's hastily tucked into the bin, know you have a big fight to put up. Mystery watcher. Leave your eyes to do the talking. Watch as she lolls up and down the classroom. Watch as he lectures his mates on the strengths of FC Barcelona over Juventus. Watch, just watch and say nothing. Be drawn to every action he/she is carrying out. Once you are noticed, he/she will tell his/her friends, "I've got a crush on that chap/guy". That's a good point to start from. Wait and see if the attention is returned. Symbolic presents. Presents can spice a relationship and offer a starting point for something to talk about. But you ought to be modest in your choice of gifts. Don't try to offer a sixteen year-old chap a gold ring, a new bike or the largest cake in the bakery (unless of course its her birthday). Sums of money that exceed a taxi drop are the worst gifts. It could be interpreted as an attempt to pressurize or manipulate. Real chaps and real guys don't fall for plenty. Don't mistake their initial fascination-money fascinates everybody. But when the heat dies down, they'll ask, "Who the hell does he/she think I am!" Recipe for failure. A strange candy worth 100 Francs can break a wall that 40,000 Francs will only harden. Or do you want to become a "chopam-foolam"? Surprise visit. It's Saturday at 2 pm. You dress casually, take a stroll to their neighbourhood, mount the stairs and press the door bell. His/her mother beams through the window pane and turns the key, wondering. You present yourself and say you want to greet a friend. Bravery. When you are shown to the living room, you talk about the weather and the challenges of the future. Beautiful. His/her mother must surely think you've got focus. Chances are slim for you to be turned down later, especially if you continue to be responsible. That could be one family pack you may never break away from in two decades or much more. Sometimes, you could loose a heart but win a friendly family and the world gets better. A poem. You can never run away from poetry! Note it down. The president of a nation is a poet, the finest souls are poets, the man who takes a lady to the altar is a poet, the priest reads poetry-composed by God and the creation is a work of poetry. A lover is a poet. She who loves and cannot compose one iambic pentameter of poetry is not worthy of love. Compose an original poem dedicated to the one who's the princess in all your dreams and do a public reading in class. You don't need to state his/her name. But everyone will know Cupid's struck you and your heart will make out his or herself. If you write some of those beautiful poems, braincollege.com will be grateful to share in the magic. A song. Speechless. Ballerina girl. I'm still in love with you. I wanna know. Still the one. My heart will go on...they are countless. You don't need to be Babyface to write love songs. Give it a try. You could learn a song and do a class acapella act or present it as an "imprevu" on his/her birthday. |

| A young student doctor on internship in a clinic went to the clinic store to buy “Get well” cards for some of his patients since this helped them psychologically. After going through some of the cards he finally got what he wanted with the message “To the only one I truly love”. He took ten of them to the counter and asked how much they would cost. The shopkeeper who happens to be a godly woman took them, looked at them and then stared at the young doctor. “Ten girl friends?” she asked, bewildered. “You sure should give your life to Christ, son!” More jokes... |

| Anon text poems. Technology is affecting the way we do things these days and the sms has gained prominence in social dealings. A striking txt msg snt to a c ph he/she has access to can start ringing your bells. But it will be disrespectful to send a text to someone through their parent's cellular. The wrong set of old people can bring so much trouble to the heart you so dearly cherish that you'll regret the act the whole year round. But texts are only effective when there is some sort of familiarity in the first place. A strange text from a stranger can rather spark suspicion, misunderstanding, hatred and disciplinary pursuits. Bookworm for love's sake. Do a cute little library act. Library encounters are refreshing and reassuring. Once upon a time, Hilary Roadham came across William Clinton in a library never to part again. Twenty years later, he'd made her first lady and she'd become one of America's most outstanding lawyers and arguably the most merciful of women. Meeting in the library, between the innocence of book shelves, the silence of wisdom and the curiosity of minds hungry for knowledge can be fertile spot to ring a heart. It suffices to offer help in tracing a book, replacing one or borrowing a pencil in all innocence, if you can. Love can be an ingredient for transformation. Loads of successful people discovered their best talents while they tried to get noticed by the heart that brought them dreams. Be inspired as you seek love this day forward. |
