To ask if you put kisses at the end of messages

Even to people you barely know?
I've noticed a lot of people do this, how do you feel about it?

No but have noticed plenty of people do.

I don't think it is meant to be read as a kiss, just a 'short kind ending to a message'.

Not with strangers who do it no. That is just weird.
I have some friends who add an x and some who don't so I go with whichever.

Never at work as unprofessional

TwattyMcFuckFace · 21/05/2024 15:58

Only to loved ones.

I don't understand MNetters putting them at the end of messages though xx

I’m in my mid 30s in the UK and most female friends I know do this x

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 21/05/2024 15:57

I don't. I might put a heart, though.

VelvetTurtle · 21/05/2024 15:56

No x

toomanytonotice · 21/05/2024 15:56

I never do. It’s weird.

also my brain can’t link an x to a kiss. So to me it just reads like random x’s at the end of the message.

i genuinely thought people were using x like punctuation, instead of a full stop.

Only in my work emails x

What do you mean @bamboofield? xxx

I don't do it myself and it wrong-foots me a little as I don't know whether they expect me to send a kiss back. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't, depending on who I'm talking to.
