Do you like to write letters to your friends?

Hi! Technology has changed so fast that hand written letters or say snail mail has taken back seat. I used to send hard written letters in the past but I have longed stopped that. No doubt hand written letters have its own charm and they just can not be compared with emails. However, now a days emails have emerged as a faster option so I rely on mails. I have preserved few old hand written letters written by dear friends and I enjoy reading them occasionally.

yes but now was not that because you go forth to the different gadgets for modern times. Then i don not remember the cellphone corresponding trend we still friends and you're my pen pal, but now do not need to write first trends that Facebook, twitter and other gadgets, you cannot communicate with online and call the cellphone, because in the modern times we can talk to people and other areas, or outside the country especially those who have been part of our lives.

I had started to write and exchange letters with my pen-pals throughout the world since when i was a teenager. I got introduced to this hobby by one of my classmates. We always exchange news regarding our pen-pals when it was recess time in school. Although i need to wait very long for the snail mails to arrive into my hands but i am happy and feel special about them. I even had kept all those letters which contained interesting news and pictures from my pen-pals. Not forgetting, i had exchange a lots of postage stamps and currencies from my pen-pals through the world. Now, i only exchange news with them through emails since we feels it is faster and easier. But, i still feel exchange news through snail mails is the best and the most special way.

I don't do it very often, but I do still do it ... mostly it is with my mom. She has absolutely no interest in the computer (and probably couldn't pry my dad off of it even if she was interested), so we sometimes write letters to each other. Of course, we also talk on the phone, but the hand-written message in the mail is just extra special for some reason. I must admit that she does it more often than I do, but I still do it once in a while.

Just like you i send handwritten cards only on occasions. Most of the time, i email my friends. Would you believe that i would email them even if they haven't emailed back for 2x. But more than 2x, i would stop. I have this habit : if you don't like me, i don't like you either.

Not really I just mail them from msn or yahoo. also what is snail mail pen pals, would you be kind enough to explain it to me, thank you.

Not any more. I think it is almost ten year before that i write and send snail letters to friends and family members, with the popularization of phone, and chat tools online, it is no use at all. Though sometimes i miss the snail letter a lot, because i think it is more lovely and filled with love and friendship. Much warmer than emails.

I remember I like collecting letters before. That's why I also make pen pals with some people online. I want to receive a lot of letters. Maybe that woman likes collecting letters too and miss that thing. Maybe she kinda old and likes opening envelops and read letters than read letters from email. Or maybe can't sit long in front of the computer because she has eye problem. Sometime I don't want to read long article on the computer because it my eye hurt too.

i do, its been a while since the last time i wrote someone a letter. I honestly prefer snailmail. Its more touchy than txt or email. I sometimes write about what i feel towards someone but i dont send it though..

Personally speaking, I seldom write letters to others, including handwritten mails and emails. If I wanna communicate with my friends, I usually talk with them by mobile phone or contact them by IM software such as MSN or QQ, which I think is more convenient than letters. I admit that receiving a handwritten mail will make people feel very happy. But you know people could always find a lot of reasons why they don't write a letter.

Placed among a letter I put, every time, emotion words uttered did not know to say. Maybe a strange timidity in writing that only made me a stamped envelope to know my beautiful feelings which lie waiting to answer them. Sure everything in an envelope. Most times it did not happen and then I dropped the traditional letters and I am back in my mind and I just talked to myself, in lines written in a journal, not so strict with my life. Computerization of this century, I submitted and I signed in different places ideas that they wanted released from the tight space of my mind. Left of the key thoughts not my own as the answer was not necessarily expected, what I had said, I said.

when i was an high school student my close friend usually they love to write a letters and also me we exchange letters i really have lots of handwritten mail/letters. but last December 2011 my boyfriend gave a handwritten mail and i was touch and id like to prefer a handwritten than using an online. nowadays because of new technology we easily communicate due to new gadget such as cellphone,laptops, iPod and so on..you can call me old fashion but i actually prefer a handwritten mail because i can keep them and if i have time i can read it again and again.

I also had snail mail penpals before but not anymore. Everything is going through emails and social networking sites. Snail mails are exciting, you never know when you're going to receive a letter. You can be more creative in it cause you can draw on the paper or so. It can become more personalized than the ones on email. I also love the scent of stationery that's why i prefer snail mails :)

When I was in high school I had pen pals in many parts of the world, and we didn't have computers then. I also wrote to anyone I knew that I didn't see very often. This continued when I was in college and away from home,and the letters got longer. We had no computers back then. I still have most of those letters and cards I exchanged with my friends over40 years ago . When I graduated, we still had no computers, and I often wrote long letters of several pages to special friends, even some who lived close by whom I saw often. This was because it's sometimes easier to write important things than to say them. Sometmes during a deep discussion you don't have a good response until you have stopped talking and gone home. A letter was the perfect way to make a response in that case. I also always sent birthday and Christmas cards with personal notes. All that changed when we got computers. Christmas cards changed to printed Christmas letters and often were the only snail mail I continued to send except for birthday cards to very special friends. Now, except for a few friends who refuse to use email, I keep in touch on Facebook or with emails. But I still love getting personal snail mail. I'm older now and it's hard to do handwriting neatly, so if I send cards by snail mail, I still print a separate letter to enclose instead of writing it out. I hand address the envelopes, and try to put interesting stamps on the envelopes. I send hand-written notes if a friend has lost a loved one or if special friends have birthdays. What I miss about snail mail communication is having new letters I can later read over and over. I keep personal emails filed on my computer and sometimes read them over, but it's not the same. One pen pal from Sweden used to draw pictures on his letters or write letters on the back of his pictures. It was always so much fun to receive his letters for that reason. I do not send e-cards. I find they are just too impersonal. If someone is just a casual friend, I use Facebook to send such greetings. If I know someone really well, I send a birthday card with a long letter. I think it still means a lot to a person to get hand-addressed personal mail instead of just junk mail and the bills. Though I don't live for the mail delivery like I used to, I still get excited when I see a friend's return address on an envelope. I think most people do. It's a sign of special caring just because hardly anyone does send snail mail these days.

I haven't written a snail mail letter in years. When my cousin and I were teenagers we used to write each other since we didn't get to see each other often. Then a few years ago we started writing since she moved across the country. We only wrote a few times and then we got busy and forgot about it. I've looked at pen pal sites a few times but didn't really find any that jumped out at me as being good. I think I'd rather do an email penpal then a snail mail penpal. At I'm on the computer a lot anyways. Plus it's free to email, verses the prices of stamps that keep going up. Plus there are a lot of crazies out there, I don't really want them knowing my home address.

Today I don't like writing letters to my friends. It is troublesome to write letters by hand. Besides, sending it is another problem since the post office will be close when I go off work. It is slow. I like to make a call or send email to my friends. I love China

I still do send snailmails to my friends and penfriends. Many of my penfriends like to read snailmails, instead of emails. In fact, I do too. Just once in a while, we communicate by emails, especially , friends who are far away on the other side of the globe.

I can still remember those days when we send my dad snail mails every two days. I was small then and he is working abroad. Cellphones are still those HUGE models and internet chat was not known yet. I admit now after the internet and emails known, my dad is still working abroad but we don't write him snail mails anymore. The fastest way of communication is through email and the cheapest way to call and talk to each other is through Skype. But when it comes to my friends who are all over the world right now, I still send them greeting cards and postcards. I don't plan having pen friends, I don't think I can befriend a total stranger through letters... I find it not easy to trust people online...

Hello there. Way back when I was in high school, I used to write letters to my best friend. I just enjoy writing on my cute stationary so every-time I miss her, I just express it by writing a letter to her. Even though we are seeing each other during our breaks, We still fond of writing letters to each others. Actually even now, when my friends were about to celebrate their birthdays, I just send them letters to great them and I send it via post office. I know that we are living in a modern world nowadays. Most of us do not use to do this thing because of cellphones. But for me, I will still do the same thing as what I did in the past.:-P
