Girls/women writing kisses in cards

[All that jazz]

This could prove to be a real baptism of fire posting this on here which I may live to later regret but I am feeling braver than usual after consuming a few bottles .

Here's the back-story :

A youngish girl (useless with ages but maybe late 20s, or 30s) has bought the property next door to mine which we share a communal entrance to. I'd seen her with another guy who I assumed was her OH. Anyway being neighbourly and stuff I bought a 'welcome to your new home' type card and a bottle of champers in a gift box which was on offer at Waitrose as I was feeling a bit flush. I put the champers in the outdoor storage cupboard where the meters are and wrote a few lines in the card welcoming her etc and said there was a small gift for her in the cupboard, signed my name and wrote my house number so she knew whom it was from.

A quick check next day and the champers had gone so obviously been received. Another day or two went by without seeing each other and I was starting to think it was a bit odd that there hadn't been a knock on my door to thank me, because that's what you'd expect, right? Anyway eventually she knocks on my door and we introduce ourselves, thanks me for the gift and we got chatting. Turned out she had got a 'thank you' card but posted it at the property of the estate busybody as he'd already been round to introduce himself and she thought the champers had come from him . I was teasing her saying I was really upset and offended and wanted my own card etc but we were laughing and joking about it I said I wasn't bothered about it and to forget about it. We parted company with her saying that I was welcome to call round for a tea or coffee anytime I want.

Yesterday I find a card on my doormat from her. It's a 'thank you' card and she's written thanks for your generous gift, I've got you one too and then signed off with her name and an 'x'. She's bought me a box of what appear to be rather expensive M&S chocolates.

Now personally I don't take any notice of any 'x's in cards from women as a lot seem to write it 'just because' without it having any meaning and that's how I'm viewing this one, however my mate who is a bit of a womaniser is of the opinion that she fancies me and wants to get in my pants , having seen the card and heard the back-story as well.

What is the PH Collective's (and OH's) thoughts on this 'x' sorcery in cards from females you don't really know? I still call bullst on it and don't think it means anything but my mate is convinced that she's laid out on a plate for me and I'm letting it go to waste. I don't particular fancy her but I could be persuaded to give her a slap and a tickle if I've got a bit of time spare .

ETA: forgot to add that the other guy I saw her with was actually a friend of one of my other neighbours and nowt to do with her; she is in fact single according to the aforementioned busybody.

........ but you took the time to share your thoughts in hope that the PH massive would say "get in there my son " . Been stalking her FB yet ?

[Shoegrip]

I think you knew how this was going to go. Some saying get in there, others that you are a sad muppet.

There is no collective PH.

Me - I say don't go there. It ain't worth it.

[Sparkyhd]

I think you're reading too much into it xx

[grumbledoak]

I think your 'mate' has lit the blue touch paper and retired to a safe distance to watch. As it were.

It's very obvious the OP fancies the new neighbour though. Champagne, cards, flirting on the doorstep.

She may fancy you, I wouldn't take an 'x' in a card as a sign either way though.

[smileymikey]

In Somerset the guys quite often end a text message with a x to another guy. one to two x's means absolutely nothing, three to a relative stranger is getting slightly warmer but were not talking fifty shades here.I wouldn't read anything into it if I were you.

[Robertj21a]

The female species put xx or xxxx after just about everything. It's just being friendly (but nothing more)

This, she may well like you but an "X" isn't an invite to mine in her underwear.
If you do like her don't let the casual contact drop off, say thanks for the card, strike up a conversation when you see her but don't become stalkerish.

Lol. Just me that finds your post creepy?!

[Phil Dicky]

Take her up on the tea offer..see how it goes, either good friends or more, you should know within 30 minutes .

[kev b]

Can't believe no one has asked for pictures yet.

[CaptainCosworth]

My experience suggests women put an x after anything... text, cards, the occasional work email Doesn't mean anything though...

However, in your case OP even if there was something there don't forget the advice about not stting on your front doorstep

[anonymous-user]

If there are no 'Y's then it's just her way of saying she bats for the other side so keep away.

[thebraketester]

Go round and fix her leaking tap.... that's how these videos things start right?

[Blib]

OP. I suggest that you knock on the woman's door and when she answers it, ask her what she meant by the kisses on her card.

[eltax91]

Wimmin folk put the 'x' on anything!! This means nothing and your mate is on the wind up and wanting to see you with egg on your face.

You don't fancy her anyway. So from this point of view, you are considering shagging your neighbour, to make every corridor encounter in the future massively awkward for her as she really thought you could go somewhere....

OP - you're gonna find yourself on the sex offenders register if you don't wise-up sharpish!
