I gave my partner in her early 20s, whom I’ve been seeing for three years, a birthday present for the first time.
This content is machine-translated.
After we parted, she sent me a long thank-you message about the gift, so I’m thinking of sending her a long message in return for the first time.
Our usual messages are mostly just checking in on each other, with hardly any everyday conversation—we mainly contact each other to arrange when we’ll meet.
Would it seem strange if I sent her a long message?
Would it creep her out? I’d hate for her to think it was weird... But I wanted to express my gratitude for everything, so I thought I’d ask.
Sorry for the trivial question.
Whether it’s long or short, anything is fine as long as you can honestly express what’s in your heart.
Just don’t try to act cool, or you’ll definitely get rejected.

Since this is a long message about gifts, I think it’s fine to keep it brief—about the same length as usual.
I believe your gratitude for everything she does was conveyed through the birthday gift.
If you’re going to make it longer than usual, I think it would be good to respond to the points in her long message by adding comments. Even then, each comment should be roughly the usual length, and I think the overall message should be a little shorter than hers.

I think it’ll be fine if you just make it look like you really put in the effort and sent a long message this one time ✧*｡٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و✧*｡
Girls love things like hearing what you think of them, what you like about them, and saying things like, “We’ve made so many great memories together, haven’t we?”

I think that’s perfectly fine.
Just make sure you keep your message to around 80% of the length of the one she sent, so it doesn’t feel like a burden to her.

I assume your message became long because you wanted to properly thank him for the gift.
I don’t think you need to make your reply long as well. If you’ve been wanting to send him a long message but never had the chance, then I think it would be fine, but it’s probably best not to overdo it.
> I thought I’d express my gratitude for everything he usually does for me, too.
I think that was what the gift was for, and you probably should have expressed those feelings in words when you gave it to him.
Since he sent you a long thank-you message, I think your feelings have already gotten across. You should be careful not to come across as too repetitive or overbearing.
Basically, I think those things are best expressed through conversation when you meet.

If you want to send it, then just send it lol.
It’s a long reply, so it’s not weird.
Actually, don’t you reply when you receive a message? That might be the weirder thing lol.

Like Dai, I think it’s best to make your reply roughly the same length as the other person’s message.
If you respond to a thoughtful, well-written message with just a short sentence, it may come across as rather curt.

Basically, I think it’s polite to match the other person’s message length.
If they sent you a long message, it should be fine to reply with one of a similar length, shouldn’t it?

I think it’s better to avoid a long message since it could fall flat.
Something like:
“I’d love to put all my gratitude toward you into words, but I’m not a good writer and I’d probably make a complete mess of it, so I’ll keep it short like always. Thank you so much for these three years. I’m not exactly the most impressive papa, but I hope we can continue like this.”
should be fine.
