XXXX - I thought it meant something!

    Ok so every now and again I will get texts from female colleagues/acquaintances/friends saying something like

    "Thanks for your help with the project, helped a lot xxxx"

    "The party is at 8 tonight, bring some beers xxxx"

    "Happy New year xxxx"

    I thought x was meant to simulate a kiss only in text or written form

    so usually I'll be a bit shocked and flattered for a minute or two then text back excitedly something like

    "I never knew you felt like this, your place or mine?"

    Then they don't reply back or call me a dirty perv :(

    I feel I am misunderstanding something here -HELP!!!!

    Now if it was 3 XXX rather than 4, it would mean something else!

    tit?
    git?
    ass?

    vulgarity isn't the number of letters in the word, it's the number of tears that fall from your eyes after reading such hurtful texts that you thought were come-ons


    damn you world!!!!! damn you foul temptress world!!

    They're kisses. I've gotten texts with x's at the end and I reply with none then the person says are you angry with me? :confused:
    That is just ridiculous!

    Next time they're being over-sensitive, tell them to xxxx off.

    In addition to the thanks button on boards, how about the xxxx button?

    I suggest you invest in a pot that can fit a good-sized rabbit in it for future dinner dates/evening soirees etc.

    Some people just abuse this whole xxx thing though.I was a bit disturbed when I got a text from a friend with a string of them at the end.After asking if he secretly loved me and had just been waiting this whole time to declare it,he replies, "Oppps,force of habit".

    Ha, I thought the same thing. First person who said it to me was a guy mate of mine on msn. There was an awkward few days after that when everytime he talked to me in person I got really self conscious and thought he was coming on to me :P
