    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.

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

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

    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.

    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. :)

    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

    I'd prefer smileys. My sister and niece keep sending me xoxxo after theirs. It makes me feel a bit awkward, I feel I have to respond with xxxs :o even when the message is a plain straightforward text like 'great film on tv3':(. My oh sends me smileys, he's not a kissy kissy person so it'd be out of character. If i'm thanking someone close for something, I might send one x, depending on who they are.

    i know that the x's are the time-honoured symbol for kisses, but wtf do the O's stand for? :confused:

    excessive use of x's look like they self-censored the message :D

    I usually send one or two if the girl leaves me them, feel like a bit of a pr1ck if I dont. When I was younger girls used to be crazy with them leaving about a page of x's in texts (not joking). My friend also leaves his girlfriend a ridiculous amount of them, kind of pathetic leaving that many I would have thought. Would I be correct in saying they usually disappear the older you get?

    I never use them. Even if I'm texting a girl I'm scoring. Its girlie IMO.

    And I don't see why people would put even one X on a message, unless they would kiss them in person. Like, if you put one at the end of a message to your sister, would you kiss your sister in real life. Didn't think so.

    Am I the only person debating what is more cringe worthy; the OP's text message or the thought-process behind the choice of the OP's username? :confused:
