Its all a bit xXx Rated…

Whether its X, xx, xXx or xoxo – decorating a message with this letter (aka the kiss) is somewhat the norm for most of us in today’s texting typing society. But, why is it when people don’t use them or when they over use them, mixed messages are sent?

We don’t kiss each other at the end of every statement in conversation so why should we at the end of a text or email? To show we’re not angry or annoyed? Surely we don’t need to resort to Xing or not Xing: To X or not to X! Is it all a bit ridiculous?

Send an email to your boss with one and you are over stepping the mark, but don’t put one to your best friend and you enter a ‘why are you mad with me’ message war.

Does XXX mean more than xxx? – apparently so as its capitals. What’s the difference between x x x and xx. If someone doesn’t x are they playing it cool in flirting? If you over use the X are you coming across as too keen? He-Who-Observes has definitely typed out xxxxx and then back tracked it to a casual and smooth xx. Don’t pretend you haven’t done it, this is He-Who-Observes remember…

“He’s definitely not keen”

“Why?”

“He’s not putting kisses, and when he does its just one”

Oh.My.God. Slap me with a wet trout and call me Susan.

He-Who-Observes is going to attempt to not give a fxXxck about all of this nonsense and just get on with day to day messaging.
