Say What You Feel 3s4jt
The first key to a great Secret irer Note is to clearly reasons why, and leave it at that. You want the note to be as short, simple and clear as possible – , this isn’t a love letter to someone you’ve been dating for years. It’s a note to your crush to let them know you’re interested and try to find out if they like you back or not. Leave the mushy stuff for your one-year anniversary!
DO: “I like you.”
DON’T: “You are the love of my life. I think about you all the time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You mean everything to me.”
Use Their Name s3346
Ever heard stories of a Secret irer Note gone inside, in case the note and envelope get separated). Use a pen and not a pencil – you don’t want to risk someone erasing the name and replacing it with someone else’s. And if there’s more than one “Kate” in your class, put their last initial or full last name somewhere on it, too!
DO: “To Kate S:
I like you.”
DON’T: “To My Secret irer:
You are the love of my life. I think about you all the time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You mean everything to me.”

You are the love of my life. I think about you all the time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You means absolutely everything to me.
You’re just the best person I have ever known in my whole entire life, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you and only you. I LOVE YOU!!!
Every night you visit me in my dreams. Then I wake up crying because I know it was all just a fantasy. I can’t live without you anymore!!! But I’m too afraid to talk to you – I’m so scared you’ll reject me!”
Reveal Your Identity? 60232x
If you want your Secret irer Note to really be a secret, don’t sign your name and leave it in a place where you know the right person (and only the right person) will find it. BUT, if you want something to happen, you’re going to have to take the next step:
- Sign your name on the note
- Leave a clue about your identity
- Letting them know that you wrote the note
The third option can be a clue – the point is to get your crush to figure out who you are, not to send them on a wild-goose chase or lead them to someone other than you. If you sign your name on the note, well, it’s not really a Secret, anymore, so you can just call it an “irer Note!”
DO: “To Kate S:
I like you.
You seem really cool and smart.
It’d be great to get to know you better.
From: Nick”
OR …
DO: “To Kate S:
I like you.
You seem really cool and smart.
It’d be great to get to know you better.
If you want to know who I am, look who’s sitting behind you in math class tomorrow.”
DON’T: “To My Secret irer:
You are the love of my life. I think about you all the time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You means absolutely everything to me.
You’re just the best person I have ever known in my whole entire life, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you and only you. I LOVE YOU!!!
Every night you visit me in my dreams. Then I wake up crying because I know it was all just a fantasy. I can’t live without you anymore!!! But I’m too afraid to talk to you – I’m so scared you’ll reject me!
If you want to know who I am, look three desks over and five rows back in either math or science class one day this week.”
