Windsor, ON – Allison Troy of Windsor recently ended her two-year relationship due to a lack of emojis being sent by her boyfriend Dave Miller.   Besides being romantically involved for the last 24 month the couple texted daily but Allison reports that “Dave just never used emojis and it really started to bother me so I broke things off”.

According to Ms. Troy the relationship was great in every other area “He’s got a good job, he sends flowers, never forgets birthdays or anniversaries but he just doesn’t use emojis.   I spent a lot of time texting Dave and I added party hats, beer bottles, pizza slices, eggplants, twenty different colours of heart shapes, all kind of emojis and the best he can do is send me back a smiley face or a frowny face.  He knows, like, two emojis.  It’s not 2005 he should have sent better emojis”.

A newly single Miller responded “I thought I was a good boyfriend but clearly just sending a smiley face text isn’t good enough to keep a relationship going any more.   I swear I was going to  learn how to do a thumbs-up and winky face but I just never got around to it.”

Ms. Troy stated that she is content with her decision to end things and that she may stay single for a while until she finds Mr. Right “It may take some time for me to send a beer bottle and an eggplant to another guy”.
