Sending X's and O's In Texts

PrettyBoy · 22-09-2009 3:50am #1

Do girls like it when guys use loads of X's and O's at the end of texts? I hardly ever use them, unless I'm seeing/scoring the girl, in which case I would leave one in every 9-10 texts say, usually when I'm saying goodnight.

One of my ex's told me she loved that I didn't use them, she said she hated guys that left loads of X's because they don't suit most guys personalities. Another girl I was seeing told me I should use them because they give a better impression or something?

Anyway I was out tonight and I (mistakenly) got a text off my mate who's been going out with the same girl since he was 16 (he's 21 now) that said something like

Hey beautiful, it was so gud seeing u 2day, had such a gud nite wit u cant wait 4 2moro, sleep well ill txt u in the morning luv u xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Of course the first thing that came to mind was WHIPPED, but this isn't the first time I got a text like that from him. Then I realised that he does that every time he texts her or, at the very least, every night. Bear in mind that we got a taxi home and dropped her off about 20 minutes prior to the text being sent.

So what's everyones opinion on X's? I rarely use them but when I do the girl seems to appreciate it more than she would if I sent 50 of them to her every time I text her. Plus, it is widely known that my mate is seriously whipped and that alone has put me off them.

Treat em badly and they'll love you madly.

Thats one i just made up.

If you make up one liners, you should be killed chopped up and stuck in bin liners.

Bit off topic, but are you sure he sent you that text by mistake ?? :eek:

22-09-2009 6:38am

Your friend wants to rodger you.

Quackles · 22-09-2009 6:52am

Ok, if he was mine, he'd be dumped. Primarily for the txt spk, but also for the extraneous use of xoxoxoxo. If my husband used that many kissy things in a text, I'd be assuming he was up to something.

petes · 22-09-2009 7:25am

It's a bit too many to be honest. No harm in one every so often.

FlutterinBantam · 22-09-2009 7:58am

Perky butts drive me nuts.

Naos · 22-09-2009 8:04am

Hold on here: What did you say to your mate?

I recieved an accidental text off a friend before, "Night Princess" which was immediately followed by a text reading "Oh bo11ox".

He only got a bit of abuse because he owned up to it, at least he didn't try and pretend he sent it to me on purpose like another mate.

genericguy · 22-09-2009 8:11am

i hate x and o in texts.

anthrax in the post ftw

I sent a girl, who i pretty much just met "Well then, We'll just have to Se x" which of course was supposed to say "Well then, we'll just have to see X".

Yeah, she never text back either.

you should've sent that b1tch a smiley face. b1tches love smiley faces.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 22-09-2009 8:23am

If the OH was using that kind of txtspeak when conversing, she's have been dumped long before the xoxoxo bit.

BraziliaNZ · 22-09-2009 8:42am

you probably shouldn't think about text messaging so much, try something a bit more organic, like conversation?

maddogcollins · 22-09-2009 8:44am

i think one or two at the end of the goodnight text is acceptable..other than that..WHIPPED

Could just have an unhealthy obsession with oxo?

DamoDLK · 22-09-2009 8:58am

Maybe the odd x, but that business of xoxoxoxox... thats too much effort ffs. x is enough.

A girl I used to be mates with would sent this (",) [or something like that] at the end of her texts to me.. I hadn't a bloody notion what it was...

R0ot · 22-09-2009 8:59am

Everyone that adds x or o at the end of texts in this way should be slapped upside the head for each one. Only excuse is if your playing a game of tic-tac-toe :pac:

22-09-2009 9:03am

well he's the one with the girlfriend dude :pac:

(but I think it's kinda childish)

I really thought this was going to be a thread about the mechanics of playing X's and O's over text. No point in hiding it now, I'm disappointed.

Novella · 22-09-2009 10:45am

My ex boyfriend used to put x's at the end of every single text message he sent me. So he'd text me to ask me something like what lectures I had the next day or what time would I be calling over to his at and it'd look like, "Hey, what lectures do you have tomorrow xxxxxxxxxxxxxx".

Completely stupid! I asked him one time why he did it and he told me it was "so you know that I like you"! Yeah, we'd been together for a year at this stage, I was quite aware of that fact!!

Grrrr. I hate x's in messages! If you put an x in a message, you'll be an ex in real life!

Nicely said

I hate x's in text messages. They don't mean anything to me, other than "look how many times I can mash the '9' key on my phone".

If you like someone, use words or gestures.

Mc Love · 22-09-2009 10:59am

Do send one or two in texts or like this x x x. Its just a nice way to end a text.

But surely not if the text reads "I'm leaving you for your sister x x x"

Yeah well you are going to weigh up the situation or the content of the text, fairly pedantic this afternoon ladies???

It's a convenient and deceptive method of currying favour/getting your hole without having to crank out a insincere sonnet.

Max Power1 · 22-09-2009 1:44pm

no problem with one or two, but lots is overkill

EDIT: Looks like we've gotten to the stage which normally happens in an AH thread after 2 pages max, where there is no more serious responses. Oh well.

I agree.

The subject of Sending X's and O's In Texts would clearly be better served by a more rigorous, multi-disciplinary analysis.

Sharlovesjohn · 22-09-2009 2:03pm

love em!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

CianRyan · 22-09-2009 2:13pm

I very rarely text anyone, unless its something important or if I'm to meet some one and I just want to sort out finding them when we're both out.
Even then, I'd prefer to call.

I'd send maybe 4 or 5 texts once in a blue moon if I'm interested in someone and have credit, other wise people can feck off.
I also text my mate Shona, sometime. We're just really close but live really far apart, so it does be handy.

For every hundred texts I send, there might be one x.
It would probably take me about three-five months to send 100 texts.

People say I'm really weird, being 18 and not texting people, I say **** off.

lynchpin · 22-09-2009 3:16pm

I know a guy who used to add "lol" to the end of every lovey dovey text message.

E.g. "Sweet dreams lol" and "I had a wonderful night lol".

He thought "lol" stood for Lots of Love.

The poor women must of thought he was a right weirdo
