You can send a kiss via text.

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.

Hugs and kisses

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.
