Send an e-kiss when you're celebrating a special day, want to express your love or simply want to do a little SMS flirting. A kiss can make any message a bit more flirty. There are a number of ways to send a kiss in a text message, including emoticons -- smiley faces -- and various letters of the alphabet.
Step 1
Create a regular smiley face emoticon, but substitute an asterisk (*) for the normal mouth. For example:
Video of the Day
:- or :
You can also make the eyes wink by using a semicolon, like this:
;*
Step 2
Use an "X" in place of the asterisk for a bigger kiss:
:-X
Or, to create a kiss even bigger than that, combine parentheses and an uppercase "I," which look like large, puckered lips:
:-(|)
Step 3
Blow a kiss by using these symbols:
:-{}
This is a normal smiley face with two fancy brackets creating an open mouth.
Step 4
Send a french kiss with the @ symbol replacing the mouth:
:-@ or ;@
If you want to get a little more racy with your french kiss, type the following:
:-)~ or :-)~~(-:
Step 5
Use the "x" symbol to sign off your text message. It's typically used with the "o" and represents hugs and kisses. Sign off with one x or two x's, or stick to the basic "xoxo" pattern.
Step 6
Simply type out the word "kiss" in your text. It seems obvious, but the straightforward message will surely leave an impression on the receiver.
