What does it mean when a guy puts 'x' at the end of a text?

Xper 1

For context, I was texting this guy I like (he said he likes me too). Recently we've been on bad terms a (he's been a bit cold towards me) and I had a little outburst at him and he didn't even open the messages. I then told him that's it's a shame that I find him kinda attractive and then he decides to open it. He replied with 'I didn't know that u thought I looked good.' I then apologised a day later for the outburst and he seemed less cold and said 'nah it's ok dw about it x.' He used to send x to me when we first started texting. My female friend sends it to me to be friendly, but what does it mean from a guy in this context? Is he just being friendly, or does it mean something else?

Also, do guys just send x to every girl, or is it just to certain ones

It's just a kiss, multiple X is kisses. Remember letters? You know like an email on paper that took a week to arrive via something called a postman. Well letters to family/loved ones and whoever you were fucking at the time were always finished with an X. Love and kisses.

Bye, X

I don't mean to discourage you, but my female friends regularly send me x's and o's. I don't think it means anything.

Then again, dudes don't normally do that. So maybe he wants to hump you. Who knows.

It’s the same as it was years ago. It’s a “hug” I wouldn’t read to much into it. I think he was just trying to convey that he meant it nicely

He is just expressing in text form, an warmth and fondness for you. Specially after an argument, letting you know there isn't any hard feelings. We can't read peoples mannerisms or hear a pronunciation through text, a xxx (kiss) is an expression of this.

  Thanks for the opinion :) just wondering though, he sent an X before when I told him that I like him, so does it mean the same thing (like without the hard feelings part)
- JimboGB
  
  11 mo
  Yes, before, during and after, it's an sign of warmth and fondness for you. I and guessing he also doesn't blow kisses to every girl he speaks too, that would be weird (unless he's Italian) 🤔 was he Italian? This could change matters lol.

  @MaryTurner If you avoid things that cause anxiety, you teach your brain to be more afraid. If you genuinely like him, don't let fear stop you from telling him.

Honestly, no clue. Ladies usually send x's and o's to their friends in addition to their SO but men usually only send it to someone they like. But I don't know that many guys that do that at all.

It could mean anything based on the word that 'x' follows. But normally speaking, it refers to kiss/hug or some affection. Nope, as far as I am concerned I don't use it at all.

  He just needs some time to himself to figure out what's what. Give it a week or two, and if he still wants a relationship then he probably means it.
