Don't Begin A Love Letter Like This, Says Twitter

There are worst ways of beginning a love letter. In this photo, love letters of French singing legend Edith Piaf are pictured on May 29, 2009 at Christie's auction house in Paris prior to being auctioned off on June 25, 2009.

Some hashtags tend to go viral on Twitter for no definite reason and one such trend, picked up by Twitterati around 3 a.m. EDT Sunday, was “#WorstWaysToStartALoveLetter.”

People got busy coming up with a plethora of worst ways that someone can begin a love letter. Below are listed some of the opinions of Twitter users on the matter.

It is bad enough that a guy asks a girl whether she has come of age during their first date, but trying to verify it in a love letter is unforgivable, according to one Twitter user. The GIF of Jennifer Lawrence accompanying the tweet accurately expresses what someone might feel after he/she reads a love letter that begins with enquiring if he/she has reached the legal age limit.

Some of the most morbid love letters are those which references death in the very first sentence. While it might be the writer telling you that he is dead already before you received the letter or a twister lover telling his girlfriend that he has chosen to write to her instead of stabbing or shooting her to death. Regardless, both fall under the category of the worst ways to start a love letter.

A love letter addressed to one’s father can be cute when it is coming from a 10-year-old, but it can be equally creepy if it is written by a college-going daughter. The same goes for love letters which are addressed to a priest or monk one considers a father figure. With Father’s Day hours away, incestuous love letters have been hailed by the Twitter users as a complete no-no.

Referencing hospital visits are never a good idea when it comes to framing the start of a love letter. Be it telling your lover that you have accidentally given him/her some disease and to get it checked by a doctor or that you are trying to hit on the doctor who took your prostrate exam, both are frowned heavily upon.

Then there are lovers who suffer from short term memory loss, failing to recall with whom they went on a date with. While it might not be the lover’s fault all of the times, since the blind date that he/she might have met actually refrained from revealing their name, it might also be a sign that the writer of the love letter is used to dating so many people at once that they cannot seem to remember any of their names.

Needless to say, serial killers and stalkers are the worst love letter writers of the world and they never fail to terrify the reader. The only reason the threatening letters might qualify as possible love letters is because they were conjured from a dark side of passion.

There are ways to defend yourself for cheating on your lover, but that does not necessarily have to become the subject matter for your love letter.

Also, there is no excuse for proposing marriage through a love letter, especially if you are going to do it through an unfunny joke.
