texting lingo....X

bmphdth

Hi, I am not well versed in the texting lingo and am getting txts from a female friend who I would usually meet once a week as friends and she would usually end the txt with a..X. We're both single and good friends (recently met). Just wondering what might be the translation of ..X

It doesn't mean anything, its her sign off style. I use x's on texts to friends male and female, same as i use smilies.

x wouldn't mean anything to me. x x the same. xxxxxxx maybe yea, if there were other signs. My general rule of thumb would be, that if a woman had a BF and sent me a txt, would the BF by wound up if he read it? Then again it would be my humble that if you're trying to work if she's attracted to you by text, you need to figure out something more concrete. A crystal ball would be a better yardstick than an X at the end of a text.

Well I think it depends on the person. I do it with my girl friends but I would never put xx's on a text to my male friends cause I'd be afraid I was sending out the wrong signal. For me, it means kiss kiss kiss, not something i'd want to put on a message to someone i wasnt interested in.

It depends on how old you are to be honest.

I've know much younger girls (14/16) to use x's way more liberally and without much thought input, many do it purely out of habit. Originally a sign for a kiss, this girl obviously likes you to some degree. If you both are older, mid twenties say, then it means something more, you dont go throwing those x's around willy nilly, its a conscious decision to put the implication of a kiss onto a message.

This drives me nuts when girls who arent my gf do this, as well when people call you "hun" or "baby" in a text, fine when the gf does it but friends dont do it, and the funny thing is anyone who writes this in a text has never, not once, ever called me hun in person, its just one of those texting things

I put an X at the end of my messages. To everyone. But its just my way of signing off a message. Its usually SL X - BUT if i got a message from a bloke which had an X it would generally make me think.

As blokes dont usually include them unless you are someone of interest.

I can see your confusion, I'm a female and in the same boat with a male friend. Exact same situation- recently met, we hang out quite a bit. He could be a model and always turns heads when we're out.
I only saw him as a mate but then got a text with x at the end of it a few weeks ago, got me thinking of him as more. Got absolutely hammered (not recommended) one night we were out with a big gang, I think I might have made a move (can't actually remember), nothing happened though.
Neither of us mentioned it, he just slags me for getting so drunk. Then the other night he'd had a few drinks with work and the X's begin at the bottom of the texts again so I text it back. Arghhhhh, I'm trying to play it cool and just see him as mate but it's tough! We're both late 20's.

Now speaking as a girl, I never text any male friends with an x, the girls yes but not the guys.
What's her body language like when you're out together?
