If a guy puts kisses on the end of texts to other people but you, does it mean he doesn't like you?

There's this guy I know and when I was talking to our mutual friend group it came about that he puts kisses (xx) at the end of texts to them but he doesn't do that when he's texting me? Before, I had the impression he could like me but now I'm second guessing it.

Avoid anybody with whom you have to second guess, or work out how they feel by looking for signs.

That'll solve this problem for you, and many many others in the future. Only get close to people you feel you have clear, open and comfortable communication with. Stay away from others. That's what people call 'boundaries' and self respect.

You'd have to ask him...

I’d say it’s because he doesn’t want to lead you on or give the impression that he fancies you. That could be because he does actually fancy you though.

Doesn't a dude putting xx on texts give you the ick?

I put kisses at the end of texts to lots of people but not to anyone I think there is even the slightest chance they may construe it as anything other than warm (non sexual) affection. There are people I feel that for (warm non sexual affection) but I am very careful if there is the slightest chance it will be misread.

Tho also what @Watchkeys says.

This is the issue with 'looking for signs'. Unless someone openly tells or clearly shows you how they feel, there's miles of room for misunderstandings and mixed messages.

Even when they tell you outright, it's still not always true or clear.

I agree with what @ClocksGoingBackwards said. If he fancies you, he may be less relaxed when communicating with you hence the lack of “xxs”. The real point is - are you interested in him? If so, is it worth suggesting a coffee or something to him rather than speculating on the basis of message sign-offs?

Also agree with @Watchkeys

Maybe he doesn't feel he knows you well enough. I send kisses to everyone, whether I fancy them or not, although if I secretly do I might send xx

Agree with Watchkeys

If you've got to look for signs assume the person isn't interested.

"Maybe he secretly likes you" is utter school playground bullshit and not something an adult should be thinking.
