I just don't understand why people (and i'm using the term people over girls, because i figure some dudes might do it too, especially in response to a message they recieve with this sign off at the end) use the xoxo thing. I mean, take a casual friendship (which is where it most often happens) they don't really want to give you hugs and kisses...if you were in person, maybe a hug, but come on a kiss? no way.

It just seems silly. Kind of like those people that say, "I love you" to EVERYBODY. I don't mean to judge these people, but i'm wondering what is their motivation? Is it that they just that they're hoping people will reciprocate and they are that starving for love?

Hopefully it leads to insight into how insanely bored i am at work today that I have the time to contemplate the most asinine of issues.

Next time someone sends it to you, next time you see them just give them a big hug, and go to kiss them. If they look surprised just say that you saw it in their e-mail, so you thought they meant it.

Well, it's better than emailing/texting XXX to everyone and having them think you're a perv.

I still like the "head in hands" guy that was posted 100x per day at the bliz forums.

I never see anyone put xoxo in emails. I don't do it either. Do you correspond with a bunch of middle school girls?

I do it with very few select female friends and I do mean it. I have a bi guy friend who signs all his texts to everyone with it, but it certainly doesn't bother me. It's part of his personality.

I think in most cases people I know who do this mean it.

The only times I've seen/done it are when I'm exchanging emails w/ my bf.
