Additionally, on the lines of the "I love you" line, if the two of you are there already, then great. If not, then I would reccomend telling her for the first time instead of writing it to her. I just don't think you'd get the same impact if you wrote it down.

She already knows that I do, I've already told her.

As for the rest of it... After telling her how you feel, I wouldn't reccomend treating it like a competition. Other than that... good luck.

I'm trying not to. I don't bring him up in conversation, and if he ever does come up, I don't put him down or insult him or try to make myself seem better. I look at that as kind of low, and try to think of myself as more mature than that.

And thanks for the luck.
