Just wrote an email to someone and as i got to the salutation i couldn’t decide wether to go with an x or xxx, should i end with love/from/Regards/take care.
When and why has this become an issue? i use to sign everything to my friend with “love john xxx” and every one else “regards john”. however at some point, not a sure when, i started to change this behaviour. it started with mails to my male friends. sometimes they would get a love, sometimes an x or even an xxx and other time they would get none.
Once i had started to change my behaviour i started to wonder why i only thought about this when writing messages to my male friends. after all i personally dont have anything sexual associated with either of these salutations. So obviously i started to obsess about these responses as well. now im at the stage where it can take me upto five minutes to decide what to use and depending on who it is. I can still be thinking about it after the message has been sent, hence this blog.
This whole thing gets very complicated if i actually want to express a sexual intrest. like i said i dont really think of this salutation as sexual i would use it with my mam, my dad, my mates etc….. but at the same time i dont want to come on to strong [drop the love]… however i still need to show im interested [xxx wait that looks a bit strange without the love just one x].
any way would love to here other opinions on this
love john xxx
on a completely separate note how do you ask someone how to spell a word view msn?
