The convention is the guy should make the first move to start off a relationship. But of course, times have changed and many no longer subscribed to such practice. Having said that, there is still such a thing called shyness and people are also naturally fearful of rejection. For a girl, the shyness and fear are perhaps being felt even stronger.
So, if you are a girl and is interested in a guy but is not comfortable to tell him your feelings face to face, what are the options available to you? Dropping hints is one way of making him take note of your feelings. But if he is not catching the hints, is there another way to be more direct? A text message to express your interest could be done. Or a love letter to ask him if you could be his girlfriend.
The benefit of an old-fashion letter is that it looks more sincere and you have much more room to express your feelings. Below are 2 sample love letters to ask a guy to be your boyfriend.
I Want To Be Your Girlfriend Love Letter
This love letter below is more direct and perhaps suitable for those who don’t mind telling the guy how much he affects you. It could be a bit juvenile but well, love is about being silly and acting out of character at times. So, if you don’t mind baring it all, then it might resonate with you.
Dear <Name>,
I don’t even know why I’m writing this letter to you but I know if I don’t put down my feelings into words, I would go crazy. You may not know it but you have made my heart beat faster whenever I think of you. I can feel the excitement and anticipation of having you near while struggling to pretend everything is normal.
I have tried to bottle up these feelings for you in my heart but it is proving to be impossible. Every little thing reminds me of you. I can’t wait to see you everyday and being in your company just makes the time feel extra special.
Confession Time
At this stage, you are not even mine and far from it. But I still get jealous whenever I see you chatting with other girls. I know I shouldn’t but I just can’t help it! This may sound obsessive but trust me, I’m not the jealous kind. It is just that you have occupied my heart wholeheartedly that I guess I can’t wait for you to be mine.
Since it is my confession time, let me share with you another secret. I like to stare at you when you are not looking. It just comes naturally without me realizing or wanting to. I found it out myself recently that I like looking at you and watching your expressions. It gives me a kind of headiness that I have never experienced.
And you know what? Just an accidental touch or graze from you is enough to make me feel exhilarated. I’m that into you until all my sensitivities are heightened whenever you are with me.
Can I Be Your Girlfriend?
Now that you know how I feel towards you, I’m kind of afraid to ask this question because I fear what the answer could be. Nevertheless, I’m dying to know how you feel and what are your thoughts about me. Just be truthful and I would appreciate an honest answer.
You are the first guy that I have confessed to and I’m not good at these things. Maybe I’m making things more complicated than I should. But I really like you and hence, I just wish I can be your girlfriend. Can I?
The One Who Loves You,
<Name>
Can You Be Mine Love Letter
For this one, let’s try to be more subdue. If you are asking someone can you be mine, being too explicit can also sound needy. So, rather than telling him how much you like him and how jealous you can get, why not speak of your fears and hopes instead. This can you be mine love letter below will highlight these points for a more matured tone overall.
Dear <Name>,
People fall in love everyday. Sometimes, we don’t even know why we love the person, but we just do. This is what I find I’m facing now. I think I have fallen for you and the attraction is getting stronger and stronger day by day.
I used to think falling in love is something to be happy about. It denotes romance and all the sweetness that come with it. But reality can be far different because loving someone can also be full of uncertainties and fears. This is especially so when you love him secretly and you do not know if he thinks of you in the same way.
I have to admit that I’m having this predicament now when it comes to you. You have been in my mind for quite some time and I’m actually at a loss on how to handle this feeling which is getting very intense of late. My thoughts automatically drift to you throughout the day and I know it is love that I’m experiencing.
What If…
I do ask myself what if you turn me down after this confession. Can we still be friends? Would things become awkward between us? I really don’t know and I hope not. I also kept thinking what if I remain quiet instead and let this love be buried deeply in my heart where no one needs to know. Would we just remain friends forever then?
There are just too many what-ifs with no answers available. And I need answers because I can’t contain the feelings that I have for you in my heart any longer. I summon up the courage to write you this love confession because I also thought what if you feel the same way as I do. Am I being too optimistic? Again, I hope not.
Of course, I understand that love cannot be forced. I love you but it doesn’t mean you will definitely love me back. I might well end up disappointed but I’m also tired of the what-ifs that keep playing in my mind. Maybe I’m taking more risks that I should but I also believe love is about moving out of my comfort zone into the unknown.
Hoping You Could Be Mine
If you could be mine, it would make my dream come true. If you say yes, you would be giving me the happiest moment of my life. I’m hoping against hope that you do have some feelings for me and we could embark on a new journey. One that is more than friendship and filled with love and warmth.
Whatever your response may be, I’m very happy to have met you. Letting you know of my feelings for you is a difficult decision but I’m willing to make this move. This is simply because I can’t wait for you to be mine now and forever.
Lots of love,
<Name>
Be Courageous
I know it is difficult to express your love for a guy when you don’t even know if he likes you. But sometimes, you just have to take the chance because someone has to make the first move to find out. And the reality is some guys can also be utterly shy and fearful of rejection. So, while you sit there and wait, he could well be doing the same.
Of course, there is also the other side of the coin whereby he is not into you at all. That is the risk that you have to take. Just think of the worst case scenario of what could happen if he rejects you. Perhaps you would be embarrassed or he avoids you from then on. But trust me, you will get over it especially when he is not even yours to begin with.
