starchild 2 | 120 29 Jan 2008 / #3Actually... maybe my guy is the odd one out (most likely) but he didn't know what I meant when i sent him a text that was just an X. He asked me what is this? And I said a kiss and he replied.. polish kiss =:)He always sent his kisses using that symbol for the first few months and now he just does xxxx's like everyone else.Maybe its just him tho?!

nauczyciel 2 Mar 2008 / #26ok isnt "o" a kiss as it kinda looks like lips whereas "x" is like arms giving a hug?
free spirit 1 | 37 18 Mar 2008 / #30History lesson time for X as a kiss.Way back in the days of snail mail, teenagers would put a X across the envelope seal of a love letter to discourage the courier (usually a friend) from opening the envelope to take a peek. (There was no guarantee that the envelope could be re-sealed with the X accurately realigned). This was known and still is, as 'sealed with a loving kiss' hence the S.W.A.L.K. sometimes also used. Thus, the origin of the X. But we are talking 50's and 60's teenagers here. ;)
