    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:
