Here is a simple guide to kisses. No kiss This can mean one of three things. X The classic single kiss. Xx Many a guy will get two kisses from a girl and believe that they are into him.
Nor does it tell us about the journey taken by the x in becoming this multifaceted symbol. History tells us that the x has a long pedigree. With most people being illiterate, a cross was deemed to be sufficiently accessible to verify identity. But, this still leaves a big gap between then and now. What happened at the beginnings of the digital revolution that explains this progressive encroachment into all of our correspondence, turning every message into its own letter?
We nearly never do this now when sending texts, because messaging has become an endless letter, a conversation that is always left open, to be picked up again at a later stage. After all, the kiss is remarkably culturally specific and an x can mean something very different — or nothing at all in a different language.
Equally, a kiss in one culture means something different in another and, in some cultures, there is no kissing at all. There is also a gendered politics to a kiss, which can make it a highly risky undertaking to send, especially in professional settings. At the same time, the x can be a way of allowing somebody to express themselves physically without the pressure of actually having to touch somebody. There may be many people who sign off with an x who would not think of kissing the person when face to face, but feel comfortable expressing such affection through a symbol.
So, while seemingly one of the most uncomplicated things we do when messaging, the x in texts has far wider implications than perhaps we first thought. A good rule may be to only send an x to people who would be comfortable with you kissing them face to face.
Would you actually kiss that person, if they were in front of you? If not, then perhaps drop the x.
