'Kisses' in texts/emails/cards?

brummytom

Do you put hugs/kisses when you send texts, emails or cards to mates?

I do to good mates, always. All of us do, never thought it was weird until last night.


So do you?

stovelid

Yes, to friends of the same sex

If x is a kiss, what's a hug?

An 'o'... hugs and kisses are xoxo

Never used that myself though

Ebbs

O is a hug, hence xoxoxoxo on the end of messages.

ibarelycare

This should be multiple choice tbh. I do sometimes, to friends, bf, siblings, mother, but it depends on the tone of the message, not all the time.

Zwillinge

No

I never get any 'o's

alwaysadub

An o is a hug. I do sometimes-if someone is having a bad time or somethin i'll put a kiss at the end of my message/card to show i care. And when im sending cards to my nephews and nieces to show i love them.
But i don't do generally no.

EDIT:Yeah there should be a 'sometimes' option on the poll-none of the options really apply to me.

I know, sorry.. I thought that after I pressed submit; can't edit it now though

Hold it hold hold it.

OP, are you female? If so, I understand.

Because, a male sending a text or card to a male wouldn't put a kiss, would he?:eek:

A male sending to his wife or GF or mistress may do this, but that would be the only
reason I would imagine. I wouldn't send kisses to any female, she would have to
be my wife or GF or mistress....

Cian92

Only if they're hot.

O is a hug?????? :eek:

What the hell am I gonna do with all that lube?

I think he's one of them metrosexuals

God, no

walshb

Metrosexuals wouldn't do that. I would consider myself quite liberal and open and easy going, but I see absolute ZERO reason for a male to include kisses or hugs when sending
emails or texts to other males. It makes no sense, and is rather strange really.

brummytom

No

To lads it's an ironic statement (usually meant to mean 'I hate you and this is sarcastic'); or to girls 'I want to ride you, a single kiss makes me look caring'

Latchy

Yes, to friends of the same sex

Depends who I am sending the texts and emails to .If it's family , close friends or aquaintances I usually put a few xx at the end and recieve same in return .

Lab_Mouse

Yes, to friends of the opposite sex

You'll have to come up with a better excuse than that:rolleyes::D

I know why you started this thread. They got to you in that other thread did'nt they.:D

Anyway i don't put hugs and kisses in texts though i know a lot of women who do even when they're just texting friends. I thinks its pretty gay for one man to put a x in a text to another man.

Pushtrak

Never have, probably never will. Phone calls tend to be my MO rather than text messages.

KnifeWRENCH

I only write x's at the bottom of cards for my mother and my grandmother. Anyone else gets a card full of indifference.

Never do it in texts or emails. Don't see the point.

If you start including them then you have to establish criteria for not including them and it all gets way too complicated, so no, never.

Mialin

No

I have often accidently sent one to someone like my boss. I agree its messy and want to get out of hte habvit of sending theM!

what happened last night to make you fell weird about it?

and yes I do put hugs and kisses on texts/emails

Mint Sauce

only to mum, gran, and close female friends/relations, and only on cards and the odd text depending on tone/occasion

xox

tolosenc

Yes, to friends of the same sex

From living in France, I've developed the nasty habit of affixing "biz" to the end of all messages I send to women. Even when I'm back in Ireland, and the recipient doesn't speak French...

Larianne

No.

Unless I'm really drunk or reeeally want some or drunk and really want some at the same time.

That or if someone is really upset.

I don't fling kisses round willy nilly.

brummytom

No

This thread :P

**Timbuk2**

Rather than writing 'xxx' and wasting all that time I just write [latex]x^3[/latex] - it's easier :P

daca88

Yes, to friends of the opposite sex

i only do it for my girl, she does the same in return:)

other than that its a big no no for me....

stovelid

Yes, to friends of the same sex

Only after certain types of texts, like thanking somebody or a birthday greeting and only to females.

Been texting the mate I was in a strop with tonight. No 'x's until we'd made up :pac: We also greet each other by hugging (about 6 of us do that).. is that weird?

On cards I put x's. That's it.

Never in texts, unless I'm drunk and it's to some fella I like.:o

sheep-go-baa

No

I would only do it at the end of a conversation, not with every text

At the same time?:eek:

Do you hug them every time you see them?

Only if there's a chance of a ride at the end of it all.

I'm a bloke and straight so no.

Most times yeah

irish_goat

I got told off by some female friends for never putting x's at the end of texts. One girl went as far to say that she has a certain level for each friend.
i.e. randoms get 1 x
friends get 2
best friends/boyfriends get 3/4.

That just proves that some girls read into things far too much. I used to try and confuse her by sending her random numbers of x's from then on in.

So long as it's an A-Frame hug with the guy mates it's alright.

I went to primary school for a few years in France and we all kissed each other when we arrived to school and again when we went home.

Then when I moved here I (tried to) do the same thing. Granted they all thought I was a freak.
