    Okay so, I've been talking to this girl for almost a month now and i was thinking about writing to her and she doesn't like the idea because she said she won't write much but said she would try.

    My dad, obviously doesn't want me talking to people online but this girl, she is plenty real, I've seen her and heard her. she's not some pervy guy off the internet, im sure of it but with obvious concern, he's would be worried

    how can i write to her (letter form) without my dad finding out?
    he doesn't touch my mail or open it up but he does look at the envelop and if he see's, its from the UK....he's going to get mad.

    i always wanted a pen pal but I can't do that because he thinks, every person is a perv which I do understand why he thinks that but still, i want to try it, at least once

    yeah, like he'd believe me.

    he would never believe me and if i tried to prove it to him, he wouldn't let me

    No, you see ...i found another girl who said she would write to me first
    but I don't know how I'm going to send my letter

    because in order to send my letter, I have to go to the post office ...right? since its internationally right?

    Is it a USPS blue post box? If so, yes.

    EDIT: Better send it before the USPS goes bankrupt, ha ha.

    It's blue-coloured, I suppose. I've never seen one. I don't know if Fedex, UPS etc have

    I googled it and it seems that all USPS post boxes are blue.

    Ask him for three ranfom household items randomly. Get her to take a picture eith them in front of her, holding them, ect. That will cease the doubt.

    Can also be used with a time restrait/adequate reasoning to see if someone is who they say they are online in general.
