  • You can't just ask that question and then take out the example in your OP and say "Too many people commenting on the example" and expect to get any decent answers.
    It would depend, as has already been shown to you, what it is that is sent.
    If they sent your example, not many would like it. If they sent a poem they made up themselves, then more people would like it.
    Your question is too broad. Not everyone is romantic and the ones that are have differing levels of romance that they enjoy.

    It's a bag o'sh1te and no mistake. Bleugh.
  • so your saying that i should have put up one of my emails with all my love in it as an example, now that would be a little too personal.
    i have said in a few posts about peoples re-action to there loved one sending them a nice email with feelings, but people continue to comment on the example or are bring other things into it and people are going out track. on the other hand what it does show is that many people are willing to pick people up when they are down but no one will help anyone if they are already up.

    Love is not something you make up and it has away of making you push your own boundaries, love always comes out on top.

    Why would someone need help if they were already up?

    I think most people's reaction from what I can see so far is they don't want to receive overly nice emails with feelings and would rather see nice feeling demonstrated in another way. I don't really see how people saying how they'd respond to your example email or how they'd respond to emails about love is being unhelpful!

    In fact by responding to your question people are being helpful - if we wanted to be unhelpful then no-one would have taken the time to respond to your post(s).

    My husband worked away. We emailed each other several times a week, always said that we loved each other, and signed off "always and forever". He died last month, and I've printed off all his emails from his last 4 month trip away. When my little boy is older, I will show them to him, so he knows how much his mummy and daddy loved each other. I can't see why people wouldn't want to receive emails about love unless they don't like the person who is sending them.

    Oh I'm so sorry :(

    I think that is lovely and I'm sure that your little boy will love reading them when he is older xxx

    I write soppy stuff to OH sometimes and he does to me. We are sickly sweet on the phone to each other and through texts etc, we always have been and probably always will be, it's just the way we are together and we ain't afraid to show it :)

    We were too, and it made me and him very happy. Maybe there's just something in the water in our part of the world. I'm on the Wirral too.

    Aww hello to a fellow Wirralonian! (is that even a word? :o)

    I'm so glad you were both really happy together during the time you were together. He might not be here in person now, but you will have memories to last your lifetime. Not to mention the joy and fun your little man will bring! :) xx

  • kay peel,
    im not after any help. just wondering if the love would be returned or not is the base line
    fluffi,
    (example) if you see an old lady who has fallen over, everyone will rush to help. yes?
    if you see someone having trouble reading a menu how many people would help them?
    cranky40,
    i would thank you twice if i could. sorry to hear though.
