Guys, do boys tell their friends about their crush?

Do boys tell their friends about their crush?

Yes

No

[Illusive_Man]

It DEPENDS on how much I trust the guy I suppose. There's this guy called Szymon who everyone keeps on calling Simon or some reason who I probably have already told a bit too much so eh I suppose.
Yes.

[thelanatellama]

Heck no!
Guys don't gossip. ESCPECIALLY about crushes

[Asker]

Why don't they?

[Dipsy]

I would be afraid that everyone knows who my crush is, and that they will tell my crush, it could ruin everything (the plans guys make to conquer a girl), and it's also annoying if they tease you

[thelanatellama]

^ What Dipsy said, although I wouldn't say Conquered...
Guys just don't talk about that kind of thing. We aren't into secrets or what's going on. We just want to hang out with our friends and be happy

They don't tell but it does not remain hidden as they act and behave around their crush.

[Dipsy]

lol, exactly me

Depends how close he is with his friends and how much he trusts them and how open he is. I tell my friends when I like a girl

[rockaholic]

Of course they do... who else they'll tell then?

[AllThatSweetJazz]

No, not unless it's necessary.

[Asker]

What do you mean "necessary"

[AllThatSweetJazz]

By necessary I meant if I had guy friends that also had contact with this girl, and only if I really liked her, and only if I thought my friends would be tempted to make a pass at her.

If all these conditions were met, I would say hey I like this girl, make me look good. That's the extent of it, ideally that makes them back off. Unless she's got funny or interesting stories to relay, I don't usually talk about her.

Maybe I'd tell a girl about her, guy friendships don't usually have that emotional openness, but with female friends it's easier to share feeling about things/people.

[WilliamWinslow]

Conditionally or occasionally, yes.

[ThisAndThat]

Yes they do.
