What do you think of married men putting kisses on texts/messages?

This post may sound incredibly immature! But here goes. My dh puts a kiss on the end of any messages/texts he sends to any women. There is absolutely nothing in it and he does it regardless of who the woman is, so it doesn't bother me at all.However, I've noticed that a lot of the time (on public posts on facebook etc) people don't put them back at him, and I'm worried now that people might think he's weird/sleazy for doing so. He isn't like that and I can't stand the thought of him coming across that way! What would you think if a married man did this?

I do this all the time to women and men, in txt and on fb. Not everyone puts a kiss back and ive never thought its because they think im wiered/sleazy. I wouldnt worry im sure people can see via fb etc that he does it to everyone Smile

Thanks GelflinGirl. He doesn't do it to other men but his mates would never let him live it down if he did Grin.

TBH I do find it pretty weird. Not sleazy weird, just over-familiar.

My husband puts his initial and an x at the end of every text message, whether to a man or a woman I think. Never thought anything of it.

If it's people he knows as mates then not weird. It's only weird or overfamiliar if it's a work colleague that's an acquaintance rather than a mate that's also a colleague - does that make sense? Basically if the receiver could complain or sue maybe don't do it!

I do it quite often. So often that sometimes I have almost sent a text to my ex-husband with a kiss on the end. I've managed to stop myself every time so far, but it's only a matter of time before I'm not concentrating and put a cheery little 'x' on the end.

It doesn't mean anything. Loads of people do it.

I put kisses on a lot of my texts but depends who I'm texting iyswim. If people don't do it back though then I stop as well as some people just aren't that way inclined.

I don't put x's to other men on facebook or via text as my DH would go crackers otherwise! I'm sure it is harmless but I know my DH wouldnt be happy if I did it so I respect this and dont. I use a Smile instead back!

My childminder sent me a message with a kiss at the end Shock and I never really felt the same about her again Blush seriously to me all I can think is WTF? Why? It is easier to not send them.....i only put kisses for people I would really kiss

I always put kisses on the end of texts/emails to female friends. Never thought about it to be honest. Then again I tend to kiss female friends when we meet. My wife doesn't mind and in fact does the same with her male friends.

I put kisses to everyone. If I dont put a kiss it means I am very angry with the person usually.

My sister's mood can be entirely gauged by the number of kisses she puts on her texts. Yesterday morning I texted her and she was clearly annoyed by something I'd said because I only got one kiss back instead of 3 Grin
