This apparently was brought up in August 2017, according to the bot, but that was waayy before I was even old enough to join here, so I want to know…
Do you sign off your (personal) texts or emails with a kiss? I do sometimes…and I wonder if its common practice or am I just being weird. I like to think of it as being friendly, but…maybe the recipient doesn’t, haha!
@PixieKnuckles , I have a British friend who always signs off his texts and emails with a kiss (should say a couple of xx). At first, it threw me off, thinking he meant something extra special. Now I know it is common of Brits to do this.
I may sign off with “hugs to you”, or “take care of yourself”, but almost never with kisses. On a few occasions, I may have a weak moment and say, “with love”…but mostly not. I don’t take the love thing lightly in any context.
I do sometimes sign off with a kiss, but not often. I would have to know the recipient very well before I would even consider signing off with full blown sex.
Pixie, Yep, l am sure you are referring to a thread l started a while back when most of the text messages and other messages l received, had kisses added to the end.
In the end, trying not to looking churlish, l added kisses in my replies!
I didn’t really like adding them to messages from males, in case they thought l fancied them and l didn’t!!
x - I never type just 1 x - it looks like you begrudge it!
xx - to friendly acquaintances I like
xxx - to family and friends I love or have a deep affection for
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - I love ya lots and I’ve had too much to drink!
Gosh I didn’t realise there was an etiquette to it…! I always type just the one though I don’t begrudge it…its just a thing…a sign of friendliness. Oh my…now I’m going to have to think about this
I don’t think anyone does, LQ - and I’m so happy that a) I’m not the only one and b) Nobody has (yet) said they don’t do it. Which would be perfectly fine, of course! Although I might be inclined to then bombard them with lots of “xx’s” because I have had a glass of wine.
I’m quite a kissie person in texts to family and friends. Emails? Well no, because I never use email for anyone I know - emails are purely for business use. People I know get texts or WhatsApps, and I almost always sign off with a kiss or two. Or three .
I’m not sure, but it’s more than likely I’ve signed off posts here with a kiss, where I’ve thought it kind of appropriate. It’s never occurred to me that I might offend . Sorry if I have
