From a Guy
What does 🥫 mean from a guy?
When a guy sends this, he's probably keeping it pretty straightforward, either making a joke about a 'struggle meal,' implying something is a 'canned response' or generic, or possibly sharing that he's 'bottling up' some thoughts or feelings. It's generally not layered with deep emotion, but more of a casual, observational comment about a situation.

💕 From your crush
He probably sent this joking about a basic meal, or implying something generic happened, or even hinting he's holding back some thoughts about you or the situation. It’s a low-key, non-committal emoji, so don't read too much into it as a declaration of love, but it does show he's comfortable enough to share mundane or slightly self-deprecating moments.

It’s pretty much just a casual, no-fuss way to communicate something simple and often relatable within the friend group.
