Contemplating writing a letter to someone I'm courting

/u/wotsitsaredelicious /u/Peckerdick
Sorry if my OP was clear. I finally mustered up the gusto to ask her to lunch and everything went off without a hitch but it's something she said that just doesn't sit right with me. it's nothing bad but she said "My mother warned me about guys like you, the one's that say all the right thing" and I've had that echo to me before. the reason I wanted to write the letter was to explain why it is I say all the right things and explain to her why it is I'm attracted to her.

I should have also made note in the OP that she is foreign and entered the states at 14, she became nationalized in 2012. and the little bit of research I've done on her native culture and homeland says that her ethnic group is big on respect, family bonds and the women love to be respected and allowed to be independent. for example, as we were walking out of the school her shoe laces to her boots on one foot were loose so I told her "Come here, let me get that" she said "Nooooo, I hate when my brother does that. I have it." and I just want her to know that me attempting to be the right guy isn't because I think she is helpless or anything but that I am completely in admiration of her. she's (to me) the perfect package. her inner beauty rivals her outer beauty.

/u/EbNinja yea, I was planning on doing that but as the other redditors made notice, I don't want it to be too awkward or too much. I've always been able to express myself to others if I write things out (clearly my OP isn't a clear indication of this lol). but man, I think I'm smitten and I just want to do all the right things to win her heart. I'm a hopeless old school romantic in a new era I guess lol. I have written about 8 different versions because I want it to be short and potent without it being too flow-y as you've pointed out.
