So I'm trying to decode signals from this British girl I have the hots for. I met her through a friend (he's Australian) at the comedy show...we talked a bit and then I never heard from her...she showed up at last week's show and we all went to hang out at a friend of a friend's house till 5AM drinking and smoking. We had some good conversations. Talked about films (she has the same taste as me). Had my arm around her. Fun stuff.
Anyhow, I called her last night and she was at a meeting. She said she'd call back. She didn't. 1AM and my phone is beeping. Text message. She says she got tied up with work and that she'll try to make it to the show. She signed it with "Immy xx" (Imogen is her name...what a name!). So anyhow, that reminded me of Mel and her emails, and how she'd sign em as "Melxxxx" whatever.
So...LONGEST story short, is it a British thing to sign as "Name xxx" as a standard friendliness sorta thing, or as a "I'm interested in you" sorta thing?
I guess I just wasn't made for these times. |

Honestly? depends from girl to girl, I don't do it as a rule to anyone, unless I'm drunk or feeling affectionate.
Some girls use it as a standard signature, there's no way to decipher it, it really depends on the girl
love like you've never been burned
work like you don't need the money
dance like there's nobody watching
kiss like your tongue is on fire
suck like you don't need the money
sin like there's nobody judging

| It's not a British thing. It's just a cutesy girl thing. The little X's are, I think, representative of little kisses. |

Imogen! HAHAHAHA
sorry. There was a French series called Imogène about a female detective from Brittany, and... I'll try to find some pictures so you get why it made me laugh.

Jim, I dunno about English girls or guys, but I do know just from the forum that you are a guy worth getting to know. If Immy (a coolsville name in my book) is smart she'll stick around. So chill, be cool, have faith.

man, you canadians are weirder than I thought!!
I guess it sorta makes sense though, like 'o' as a mouth, a 'x' as two people embracing, hmm. Still, its all wrong/

Nah, Carolyn is semi-correct. The x's are kisses, the o's are hugs.
Like:
xoxox is exactly three kisses and two hugs.

So if you get x's and no o's, that means she wants a fling, but nothing long term. If you get o's and no x's, she wants a platonic relationship. If you get both, she wants your babies.
This hinges on her using Dean's Canadian x/o interpretation. To me, if you look at the letters themselves, x's look like hugs (crossed arms) and o's look like kisses (pooched lips). Leave it to women to use a confusing code to express their emotions. As if hkhk wouldn't be cryptic enough.

I think if you were to look on a couple from above straight down, it makes some twisted sort of sense.
'o' is a hug because the arms are wrapped around each other.
'x' is a kiss where the mouths touch.

Well, I imagine it to be through some sort of high-powered scope.
Couples used to bother me, but I'm quite happy to be single until someone worthwhile comes along. I've met my share of not-so-worthwhile ones.

I just thought it was an awkward turn of phrase.
"How do you turn a phrase?"
"Jeez you're dumb, thank God for that ass"
I missed you too!
And I think x's are kisses. x's are dirtier than o's, and kissing is "dirtier" than hugging. And what Dean said about touching and reaching and such. |

Like in Leon? on a rooftop? a scope attached to a big gun that would shoot little stickers that say "get a fucking room" onto them? or some sort of drug to dry their tongues up so they stop eating each others faces in public, or something to make their hands go numb and give them pink-eye so they can't stroll around holding hands and gazing longingly or.......

When you get up there, let me know if the people look like x's or o's and in what scenarios.

I can affirm on good authority that after being shot with the tranquiliser dart (I took up totally by mistake) the people looked like little x's splat on the floor, the o's came in on the surprised faces of the other half of the smug couple conspiracy. I only got one though, it is dark

Now what you need Tre is a Big SpudGun.
"we like explosions it's only right we should
we like ideas we thought you understood
we like new places until they're overrun
we do like music -- loud shots from the big spudgun"
See Tre? Devo has an answer to whatever ails ya.
