Sending X's and O's In Texts

Novella · 22-09-2009 11:45AM

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.

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???

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.

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 02:44PM

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.

love em!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

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 04:16PM

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

Your just jealous OP. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO Hope you feel better now XXX

Jealous of what? My mate sending more X's in texts than me?

Ann22 · 22-09-2009 06:58PM

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

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.

Owenw · 22-09-2009 07:09PM

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

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

Ferris_Bueller · 22-09-2009 07:11PM

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?

o is a hug, somebody is unloved!

LD 50 · 22-09-2009 07:42PM

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.

How in the hell is an O a hug???!!

Is this common knowledge?! I need to get in more....

Tar.Aldarion · 22-09-2009 07:59PM

because when I hug girl that's what happens.

Gran Hermano · 22-09-2009 08:04PM

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?
