writes: Hi I am 40 and been briefly texting a guy that I know. After our initial chat by text I text him again on Friday and we had a 4.5 hour chat by text and as we were having a drink his texts became more loose but nothing bad and eventually we stopped texting as I wanted to go to bed as it was 130am and because my internet was intermittent and so was his. I text him 'I am off to bed now speak to you tomorrow x'. He replied 'don't forget when I next see you you know why I am smiling'. He then sent a last text with just a big X on it.I know they say that sometimes the brain becomes less inhibited when someone has had a few and say what they feel but is there any difference between a big X or a little one.

reader, anonymous, writes (29 February 2016): This is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThanks for your responses and looking back it at now I realise it does sound very 'teenagery' of me. I am wondering if he is a game player as I messaged him the next day and he aaid 'the delights of drunken texting' and I said are you embarrassed by what you said and he said 'Not embarrassed and then said a nice comment' and then I replied that it was a good job I didn't push him any further in conversation the night before (this was after he became a bit more daring with his texts) as god knows what would have come out and his last text to me was 'not sure we should go into detail about things coming out!!!!I am assuming he is going on about one thing and one thing only coming out and even though I replied to him that was it. If anyone can enlighten me as to whether I am wasting my time with him or there is something there please let me know because I am not going to chase him.

Hi as per a couple of other responses on here, I dont think the Guy has deliberately put a big X. I think he has sent the response but forgot to add a x which would have been small and then added a second message with a X which is auto generated as the first letter of the message.
Hope this helps!

 This is the type of question I would expect from at 13-15 year old...
You are reading far too much into this....

You're 40 but you sound like a young girl. Calm down or you'll scare him off! Make sure you meet in person soon. Lots of men love to do the constantly text and flirt but never meet up game. Don't fall for that!

Way over thinking it sweetie. There's no difference. Men don't pay as much attention to tiny insignificant details like that.
Don't worry, he likes you.

 I think you may be trying to read too much into this. Even if I knew he meant to send a large X, I'd interpret it the same way as a small one - a quick and casual expression of affection via text.
Also, for what it's worth - I don't know what kind of phone or messaging app the two of you are using, but I do know that when I go to type something on the phone that I have now (and the last few before it) the first letter I type automatically starts off capitalized. If I wanted to type only a lower case x, I'd have to remember to switch capitals off before doing so. And even then at least one of my old phones would have automatically capitalized it again FOR me because the algorithm it used still believed I was trying to start a sentence with that letter. The capitalization may be more of an accident than a clue to read into.
Again, if it were me, I'd treat and interpret it exactly the same as if he'd sent the usual small "x."
Hope this helps. Good luck and best wishes!
