ANYC Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 One question does a "x" on the end of the text mean anything? Im not the kind of guy to do it on the end of a text to anybody because... im not big on the whole showing love for friends and family through "love from" and "x" thing... they know i would do anything for them. She didn't do it for the couple weeks of texting, then she started dropping them in ever so often... i thought it might be a sign of attraction so i did the same thing, I was kinda worried i might have stepped too far and set some form of standard she felt obliged to keep up with. But now she does two "x"s at the end of the text... i stayed at one because i wasn't all that sure it might have just been a heavy finger and after a while started doing it aswell... i now occasionally notice 3 at the end of a message! Could this be a really subtle way of her telling me she is intrested?? or am i looking to far into this and we're becoming closer friends?? if the number keeps increasing would it be a stupid move to ask her out on a romantic level because of a few extra kisses on the end of a text? I know alot of girls just do that no matter if its their friends, mum or anyone.. but going from none to increasing when i do the same thing Link to comment
marona Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I don't think you should consuder the x's but rather the content of the actual text messages, are they friendly with a little flirty nature or just friendly? x's mean nothing to me personally, so could be it's just friendly.

HeatherB Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 It's a little flirty. Keep adding more Xs at the end of your own messages. Maybe put in a few Os too. But more importantly, ask the girl out! That's the way to know if she's into you. Link to comment
EssexMan Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 But now she does two "x"s at the end of the text... i stayed at one because i wasn't all that sure it might have just been a heavy finger and after a while started doing it aswell... i now occasionally notice 3 at the end of a message! Could this be a really subtle way of her telling me she is intrested?? Quite possibly. I agree one X is pretty meaningless, especially from women, but increasing the number is surely deliberate. So: if the number keeps increasing would it be a stupid move to ask her out on a romantic level because of a few extra kisses on the end of a text? Don't raise your hopes too far, but sure, why not. My gf and I are on 23 at the moment, by the way, so there's plenty of scope for things to develop for you. Link to comment
ANYC Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Her messages are generally massive... i generally have to send something of equal length back in order to cover everything she says and the last one charged me for 3 texts!! and it was shorter Generally get a text twice a day but sometimes it takes ages for her to text back... like last time she texted me was 12... i texted back 4.15ish because i was at work but haven't got anything back since Its generally like 1am when she'll text back, generally messages are a bit cheeky and flirty but nothing solid for me to come out and ask her out... really frustrating if anything Met her out the other day and she was texting me alot like "You better get in!x..." and "try your hardest to get in please!x" surely she wouldn't be that bothered to meet up if we have only been talking for 4 weeks or so as mates. Im probably meeting up with her the next two weekends! so atleast its got to contact stages but its still going to be with her housemates i think Link to comment
Not a rookie Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I know it is popular to put xxxxs at the end convos and texts. I find that highly superficial and never put xxxs in my messages. I get messages with xxxs from gfs/friends/dates/colleagues so no it does not mean anything special. Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 My husband and I end every email/text with a 'x'. I also have noticed that my British family/friends (hubby is British, I'm American) put an x at the end of almost everything, be it a facebook post or an actual message to me. So in my (limited) experience most Brits end a message with an 'x'. Link to comment
AnotherBrokenDoll Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I only add an 'x' to the end of the txt if i'm trying to be comforting - like if a friend was sad and was trying to show some love. I do it occasionally for friends, family and my boyfriend, but i wouldn't do it to someone i don't care about. Thats just me though Link to comment
EssexMan Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 the last one charged me for 3 texts Off-topic, but noting you're in the UK - most if not all of the networks have deals where you can pay a monthly flat fee for unlimited texts. I'm on T-Mobile PAYG and pay £10 a month for that. If you're chatting with one person a lot by text the number of messages can be amazingly large (hundreds per month) so it's worth looking into.

superfan Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 It might be cultural. I am Canadian and I never ever put X's or any other kinds of endearments after a text - not even to my husband. However, he is British and when I was living there I noticed that he would often put X's and O's after every text, as did the people I met there (female friend and male friends). I didn't really think anything of it - it seemed to be just something that went at teh end of the text - almost like a national tic. Link to comment
Angler Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Her messages are generally massive... That's far more telling than any multiple of x's. Link to comment
nyxy Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 The dreaded kisses question I think it's generally routine / habit to stick a kiss on the end of a text (I do, regardless of who it's to), closer friends and interests sometimes more. They're not a tell-all, but if the number is increasing, there's probably a reason. Could just be friendly though Link to comment
Elektra22 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I once had an ex that if I didn't put 3 xxx after every single pm I sent him he would get upset. It drove me nuts!!!! Link to comment
ANYC Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thanks guys i understand that alot of people do it just by friendship I just thought it was weird it went from none to starting to increase based on my reaction maybe its just coincidence Im finding it really hard not saying anything to her, I kinda wish we didn't work together because i could just ask her straight out no problems and if she said no it would hurt but atleast i wouldn't have the constant reminder every week at work. Its really starting to get me down im pretty insecure im a massive overthinker and generally refuse to take initiative i should have just asked her out on the weekend when i met up and had a little too much to drink. I might get lucky and meet up with her this weekend im sure it will come up with her friends we've gotten kind of close and alot of people have noticed it, maybe if she goes to the toilet or something and they ask me about it i could just be open and honest... atleast then she knows im intrested in that way still Link to comment
Trinity11 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Depends on the person. I have guy friends who put kisses on the end of ALL their texts...and another that calls any girl babe. I would not think too much about it unless it was out of character. If she has always done it..then forget about it. Link to comment
FarCry Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Has to be a cultural thing! Here in the US I have never used or seen anyone using x's.. Now the winky face I feel.. Is flirty. Link to comment
Klokwurk Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Means nothing, yeesh. Link to comment
