Every woman dreams of getting asked face to face even though they might not get asked on one knee. Writing a letter is not appropriate, because you already talking to this person about different things face to face so why not just ask face to face? This is a person that you are going to spend the rest of your life with, so I know that this person don't won't you to talk to them in a letter for the rest of their life. Just be calm and at ease when you are proposing to the one that you love. Love is a wonderful thing when two is communicating from the start, if letters are always written it's not going to work. If you are celebrating an anniversary, birthday or holiday I can see the letter writing to let a person know how much that you love him or her.
A proposal face to face is suppose to be the most romantic and happiest time in a man and woman life. Especially for the woman or man that is being proposed to. This is a time that when your kids or grand kids get married you would have a story for them. If a letter is written it shows a sign of weakness and that it probably wasn't never your intention of really marrying this person. It couldn't really be that hard. What's the worse thing that can happen? Oh the rejection, so get over it and move on. Sit down and talk about the proposal if rejected and see why.
If the connection is strong between the two then the proposal shouldn't even be a problem. I understand that some people have anxieties about certain things. If you are scared about popping the question just practice in the mirror or with a trusted friend that is going to get you through this. I am sure that a good friend will be honest with you, but please think twice about writing a letter, because to be honest you really never asked. You only asked by written word and expect the other person to answer by mouth. If they answer by letter then there is a communication problem for the both of you. A proposal shouldn't be that hard, but if a person answer back by writing a letter then I guess that relationship is going to work out for the both of you just fine.
