Question:
Hi, the girl I confessed to, well we've grown from acquaintance to small time friendship. I don't know how else to put it, but you get the point. Well, she's leaving for Japan in the summer, and I just have to give her something to remind her I still like her. I thought of an idea, could you tell me how it is in your view?
Okay, take her out a few days before she leaves, for dinner and something fun after. Then the key thing, she hinted at wanting to get to know each other better before making a choice a while back, so i kept that in my mind, and developed somewhat of a friendship while maintaining through obvious hints that I still like her romantically.
So I plan on writing down a lot of things about me that she can read on her LONG plane ride to Japan. It'll be about me, yea I know, but I figure she will be bored and prolly sleep all the way there, and this would maybe make her laugh and be occupied on the plane ride. I would include things about my childhood and schooling, fears, hobbies, family etc. I plan on making the letter look romantic, by writing on normal blank white paper that has been dipped in tea bag water, then dried, and have the edges of the paper lightly singed(spelling?)/or burnt by a lighter (have you guys done that in art class before?). Then I want to wrap the letters with a red ribbon and seal it with a sticker. Also, I want to give her some favourite movies of mine that she can watch in the summer. All in all, she said she wanted to know more about me, and I want her to not forget me, is this a good idea or not? thanks for your responses.
Answer:
..ehh I think the paper dipped in tea-bag is a little too much, just write neatly on white paper.. and keep the ribbon idea..
..I like the letter idea, but just keep in mind to not make it too boring.. keep her connected to the stories your trying to tell about yourself.
All in all.. souundsss good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)
Answer:
is she leaving forever?
Answer:
sounding good. yeah .. tea bag thing seems to be going a bit far.
Answer:
nice idea, but she has to be interested in u , even for a little too, cuz if she's not interested at all, she might not even read it ( sorry, but being truthful), so u have to figure out how she feels (?)
dont dip the letter in tea and dont even burn the sides. It sounds and might look scary than romantic. Just a plain white paper with a nice story is more than enough.
Good Luck!!!
Answer:
it's a little too much
Answer:
^ I must agree.
Look at it from this point of view.
What happen if she goes to Japan and fall in love with a guy there? How would she be able to read all of your personal messages and stuff? She might change when she come back. A trip can def. change a person, so keep that in mind.
Answer:
i wouldn't do it
just give her a small box of stuff to take to japan... like candies, a disposable camera, and stuff like that.
and put a note like hope u have a great time! email me (or call) and then give her ur email and phone number.
Answer:
I like the idea, IF she's the sentimental type of girl.

^ ..^-^ nice idea! i sugest you do it more romanticly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) addd things that mean alot to you and her!
Answer:
Thanks guys, this is helping. I do see now that it might be a little overboard, so I'll just do it on plain paper. I guess no one sees the romance in that, only scariness haha.
Also, yes she already has my Email and Phone numbers, so yea it's not like she doesn't talk to me or know me at all. In fact, she knows I like her too, it's just I want to give her something to not forget me, and to know me better while riding the plane to Japan, that's why. Thanks for the suggestions, please keep them coming, their an immense help/booster.
Answer:
how about some nice phone cards..
Answer:
THATS SO SWEET!
a suggestion! burn her a CD mix and say, these songs make me think of you
Answer:
everything ur doing is a TAD but too much she might think it's freaky and weird rather than what ur going for..
just give her something small...box of chocolate......a pink rose or 2
Answer:
hey it's a good idea!
i wouldn't go for the tea dipping thing though- it smells. just write on some nice stationary paper. also, don't make it too mushy, or too boring. but i think she will like it. good luck!
Answer:
wow, that is so sweet!
Answer:
tea bag thing is a wee bit too much... i usually write on a notebook paper and fold it in differnet ways... make something cool out of it... :]
Answer:
writting letter about your childhood hobbies and etc is cute ^^ thats very nice =D
but dip in the tea bag ad dry it.. thats too much
just put it in a cute envelope ^_____^
Answer:
I like the idea, IF she's the sentimental type of girl.
I agree, especially if she's genuinely interested in getting to know you better. But don't give her volumes of your life, just short anecdotes or something.
Answer:
sounds creepy to me .
okay honestly , i don't see the appeal in this . when she says get to know you , i don't think that means she wants to hear about your favourite colours and how you spent your holidays by the sea when you were a kid . i think that means she wants to TALK to you - not have you talk (write) at her . i don't think you get to know someone by learning about their childhood and schooling, fears, hobbies, family etc . it means she wants to have discussions with you about that stuff . i mean .. why would she want to get to know you and then have you know nothing about her ? if you give her this letter , what opportunity will you have to get to know her , and what chance will she have to tell you about herself ?
anyway the whole idea freaks me out . a letter about yourself ? nnno thanks . if i got one of those , you could very well consider it the last piece of correspondence between us .
ribbon , sticker .. sounds like you're a pirate .
also , your favourite films .. um . no , again . first of all , she's going to JAPAN , as if she's going to wanna sit about watching films she might absolutely hate . secondly , she'll feel obligated to watch them all , even if she thinks they're awful , just so she won't feel bad . and third , she'll be creeped out . well , if she was me she would be .
