To not know there is (allegedly) a kissing code

For messages as opposed to physical?
So I was told 1 kiss at the end of a message means friends, 2 means a kiss from me to you and 3 is flirty. Is this a thing. ?

Lol x

travailtotravel · 31/05/2025 12:34

I'm not cool enough to know but now I want to. And also has anyone told the men? I've got one that never x at all.

Zippp · 31/05/2025 12:35

depends if you’re 13 xoxox

Oh my god no.

It is not some people just put a set number of kisses at end of every message. I’m in a lot of group chats and read lots of random messages with three kisses. Some do two, I’m a one at best, don’t really want to but it seems rude to the three kisses folk.

murasaki · 31/05/2025 12:36

My best friend always puts 3, maybe she's trying to tell me something!

Emojis are also amusing, post watching Adolescence, I have new info re coloured hearts. My male friend who supports the same football team as me clearly does not. He sends messages of alternate hearts in the closest he can find to our team's colours.

They do not mean what he thinks they mean, and I haven't told him......

FFS, there’s a kissing code now?

TeenLifeMum · 31/05/2025 12:38

Not sure but if dh didn’t put xxx at the end of a message to his mum she interprets it as she’s offended him rather than the reality that he’s busy and not being that deep

RitaFromThePitCanteen · 31/05/2025 13:00

Nah

Berlinlover · 31/05/2025 13:01

I put three kisses after texts to almost everyone.

As someone who has always used xxx, I am now having to rethink ever using emojis again. Bloody hell the world is getting complicated.

UpUpUpU · 31/05/2025 13:03

I prefer these 😈😉🍆💦

ChompandaGrazia · 31/05/2025 13:04

I don’t know that because texting hadn’t been invented when I was 13. We would just write SWALK on the backs of envelopes.

AnotherName2025 · 31/05/2025 13:04

Are you 12?

TheNightSurgeon · 31/05/2025 13:05

The only way someone knows I'm flirting is by the level of uncomfortable I accidently make them, not by the amount of kisses 😘

Vroooooom · 31/05/2025 13:08

Wrong side of 50, and everyone on our friend group message thread always x x 😂

isthismylifenow · 31/05/2025 13:08

As someone from another country, this is very strange.

If someone sent me a message with any amount of X's at the end, I would assume they typed them in error. And possibly overthink why they had added them.

It seems a very British thing to do.

CalmTheFuckDownMargaret · 31/05/2025 13:11

If I overthought everything like this, I’d go mad. I’m anxious enough without counting kisses!

FeralWoman · 31/05/2025 13:12

@murasaki What do coloured hearts mean apart from liking that colour?

Or HOLLAND

murasaki · 31/05/2025 13:19

Google has meanings for each colour. It's all bollocks, of course. But what he sends could be read as having sexual interest when he actually means great game or top goal.

Dp finds it funny.

BlueEyedBogWitch · 31/05/2025 13:26

Mansionscoldandgrey · 31/05/2025 13:14

Or HOLLAND

Or ITALY.

nodramaplz · 31/05/2025 13:28

nodramaplz · 31/05/2025 13:29
