When was the last time you wrote one?
Do you think they're mushy, or are they cool?

Have you ever written a love letter?

I've never written one or received one, but I think they're fine and potentially nice things, as long as they're not creepy "I've been watching you" letters from complete strangers
For romantically minded people, whether there is mutual feeling or not, I think it would tend to become an eternal keepsake.
Yes. Several years ago. They're okay. They didn't work though.

I write them to my wife about once a year. With our 5-year coming in a few weeks I'll be writing one momentarily. Nothing wrong with mushy!
Once or twice [Three times, actually - someone] but I don't really like to talk about it. 
[Liar 
- someone else]

I used to write them all the time. Never from me though. I'd do it on behalf of others for a modest fee.
This thread reminded me... I still have a stash of what could loosely be described as love letters. A girl I used to speak to often, but she'd write letters after talking to me, or taking too much vicodin and writing things that were violently affectionate.
I hadn't read them in years. Cheers to the OP for accidentally reminding me I had them

I suppose I have, though I didn't think of them as "love letters". My husband and I spent the first four years of our relationship at colleges in neighboring states, so we weren't able to see each other all that often. Sure there were e-mails and phone calls and IMs, but also letters and cards. I love words and treasure anything that has been written to me personally. I keep boxes of all the cards and letters I've received over the years, which mean more to me than photographs.
We both had a lot of organizing to do when I moved in after the wedding, and we recently found a lot of the cards I had written to him that he had kept. It's kind of embarrassing, because I wrote these years ago and was very expressive, but I think he likes having them all the same.

Then what do you call that restraining order?

That one was for Jessica Biel.
The only love letter that I ever wrote was the one I gave to my husband on our wedding day. He read it right before I walked down the aisle.
About 10 years ago would have been the last one I wrote. I needed to articulate and not be interrupted, distracted. It worked well enough. As usual the feelings were unrequited and the idea got shelved 
Yes.
Yes, I have, and I have received them as well. But I would like to assure you all that said love letters were appropriately dignified and lacking in the sort of disgustingly mushy romance jargon one has come to expect from correspondence identified as "love letters". So I would prefer to say that I have written letters and that there was love involved when I did so. That's probably not much of an improvement, but I'll take it for now.
