My girldfriend's B-Day is coming up and I was considering writing her a love letter expressing my feelings and undying love for her on some special stationary in lieu of "purchasing" her a gift...will this make me look lame? And will she get mad at me for not "buying" her anything? It's not that I'm cheap, I just want to give her something truly special... MY HEART...
Is Writing an Old-Fashioned Hand-Written Love Letter Cheesy?

Ahhh...thats so sweet. Giving your heart is never cheesy. I still think a gift would be nice though... a piece of jewerly would be nice to go with it. Then she can "wear your heart" and remember your love letter.
Also, I once had a boyfriend who wrote me a love letter along with a birthday gift (jewelry)... the love letter was sweet but his spelling and choice of words were all messed up (english wasn't his 1st language) and I could barely read his writitng, so make sure you spellcheck and write clearly so it doesnt mess up the flow!! lol

No definitely not lame or cheesy. Girls these days never get the privilege of getting written love notes, let alone calls from their boyfriend telling them out of random that they love their girl.
She would NOT get angry at you for not buying her anything! I personally love it when people make things, it makes me feel special because I know they put some effort into doing it instead of walking into a sho and grabbing the first thing they see.
She'll love it & will love you even more for doing something different

She'll only get mad if she's shallow.
Which I expect she's not since you've even considered the idea.
I would love to receive a super special letter.

No, it's not cheesy at all. My husband doesn't write letters, but he is a fine artist and one of my favorite things is a small pencil drawing he did, misspelled title (he wrote Aura instead of Aurora) and all. We had gone looking for the Northern Lights, which we hadn't seen, but we saw the comet Kohotek instead. It's not his 'best' drawing, but it was done just for me, from his heart. Write the letter, put it into a nice envelope, and tell her "My gift is inside me, loving you ... my heart.' She'll be extremely happy, and will keep that letter for the rest of her life!

if she thinks it is lame or gets mad , that would be a tragedy.
almost all women of all ages will be touched by a real love letter, and would prefer it to a purchased gift.

Do both!
Do the letter, definitely. I think she will absolutely love that ... even if she jokes about it, it will touch her heart. However, don't replace that with a gift. Get her a gift, and give her the letter.
Hey, I wish you well!

No. Its thoughtful, personal and insightful. Just keep things nice in it. Unless of course you're into grunge, then you could do the Kurt Cobain thing.
I don't think it would be chessy at all. It's a rare thing to write a letter these days. But in lou of a gift, I think it depends on how long you have been dating. If no more than 3 months I think a letter and taking her out to a nice place to eat would be fine. If longer I think a small gift she may be counting on. I think if you give a gift with your heart in mind if she truly loves you it will be the perfect gift.

just to be safe, get her a gift too. but your idea is so sweet! girls love stuff like that. don't be discouraged.
I suppose it depends on how long you have been together. If its only a year, hold off on the letter unless of course she is really into that kind of thing. Just get her a gift but put a lot of thought into it, do some snooping to what she really wants and hasn't told you.
If you've been together for over that then I say go for it. I love romantic things, but maybe take her out somewhere like a nice place and have the waiter bring it out to her with a rose? This memory will be worth more than ten thousand gifts I promise that!
If all else fails and she is materialistic go with the letter so she knows how you feel as well as a gift you know she will like, although if you really have to choose this option you really need to think about who you are giving your heart to.
All in all I think the second choice is the best, it will make her feel special and loved but don't let her even have a hint what you are doing!
