Hello, I'm thinking about the title and I'm not sure how to write it.

The title would be something like this:
"100 things I love you despite of"

I want "100" to be at the beginning of the title and I'm not sure how to compose the rest. Not sure if it's even possible to create a sentence with a number at the beginning, keeping the sense (that one loves someone despite a number of things).

Hope someone can help me, thanks!

How about "100 things I love about you despite ..."? (Note that I have not used "of". We don't say "despite of".)

You want "in spite of". Despite of is wrong.

Also posted here.
We recommend posting a question on one forum only initially. If you do not get a satisfactory answer from that forum and you feel that you have exhausted its possibilities, then of course trying a different forum might help. It is only courteous however, to tell the second forum that you have already asked the question on another forum and then give a precis of the answers you received there, or provide a link to it, along with an explanation of why you are now looking elsewhere.

@all thank you for your help!

so this would be correct:

"100 things I love you in spite of"??

[STRIKE]@all[/STRIKE] Please don't @ us. This isn't Twitter.

Thank you for your help!

[STRIKE]so[/STRIKE] Is this [STRIKE]would be[/STRIKE] correct?

"100 things I love you in spite of."

It is now grammatically correct and would work as a title. I'm not particularly keen on it but I can't say it's wrong.

I can't wait to see that list—100 things is a heck of a lot to love somebody for.
