Best way to share feelings?

JustJam2006

Just curious what people thought was the best way for someone to share their feelings for another with them...apart from the obvious face to face thing :rolleyes:

. Are there any other methods which are acceptable like over MSN for example? This is assuming that the main method of communication is over MSN...

Be interesting to hear your views :biggrin:

I forgot to add.....this is not a hypothetical or rhetorical question...Seriously..Is there a good or bad way to do it....

There are pros and cons to it I guess. Using MSN/WLM could work in some situations, whereas it would be inappropriate for others. If you judge it to be a good method, then you might as well give it a go.

yeah there are lots of pros and cons to each method, the methods are every form of communication. the best depends on what you (realistically) think the other person feels towards you, and what kind of person they are. eg could they possibly like you, but may feel intimidated in a one-to-one serious conversation, and so rush to a quick escape decision from an uncomfortable situation...

Depends what feelings you're referring to. If you want to tell a girl that you like her or want to be attached, I think that a face-to-face conversation would be the only acceptable way. If you want to share your problems with your friends, then sure, MSN may be an ideal platform because you can think through hard and probably more cogently as well in formulating those thoughts.

MSN, letters et al all have their advantages, mainly I think being that it affords a certain level of security which is possibly why they seem more attractive than the 'face-to-face' encounter. That saying I think it is important that anything truely meaningful be done properly, in person, wherever possible.

But in case you are shy to face the girl or guy .. i think that love letters are much more romantic (lol) than e mailing because e mailing shows a lack of interest in some cases ... (depends on the circumstance) if it was like a situation like a cinderella story then go a head but if not .. it is coward-like and again is not so touchy

I like face to face convos though eventhough it can be breath taking if the opposite sex acks you such a random question which can be humiliating to reply ... or whatever ///

Erm yes a letter is much more romantic than an email. Don't understand your Cinderella and coward references.

Because we can use more modern techniques for communication such as email or telephones. When we have a more efficient replacement for food and clothes let me know.

it really depends on the type of person you are. Extrovert people might find it easy to communicate face to face whereas introverts might find it easer to communicate On MSN. Personally i find it easier to communicate both ways.

Face to face as much as possible. If not, I agree with the writing a letter idea. Yes, we live in a much more techonologically advanced time but the fact remains that a handwritten letter is much more personal than a typed email/text message/msn conversation whatever. Talking on the phone is okay as well, far better than email.

My ex was a friend of a friend that I first talked to on MSN - despite thinking she was hot from her photos and she was funny/cute/sweet, I wasn't going to tell her on MSN - for one, it's a little weird that we hadnt even met and secondly: if the main method of communication is MSN...how do you know that you would like them as much in real-life? I was lucky - she was as great to know in person as she was to chat to on MSN and a few weeks after meeting, we hooked up. But no, don't say anything on MSN until you are sure you like them in real-life (even if you know them in real-life: make the main method of communication face-to-face first, before you decide to do anything).

EDIT - and as for the actual 'telling them' part - if you flirt a lot in the face-to-face bit, it soon becomes apparent anyway, ask him/her (sorry, I don't know your gender/orientation) over to watch a film, get closer on the sofa, go to cuddle up and voila! Sorted.

Yep, keep this in mind. I first got to know someone really well through msn but found when we were chatting face to face, it was fairly difficult so it all went pear-shaped. Talking too much online can make it difficult to talk in person, unless like this person, you're lucky.

A proper letter is nice, gives you something to keep and remember someone by for a long time. E-mails get deleted far too easily.
