Lolz anyone ever wished they had an older brother? Like to ask questions about what guys like and stuff when you have a crush?

Hehe that's how I feel right now... I'm really close with one of my guy-friends, we talk about almost anything. I have a younger brother only, so I don't talk to him about my crushes/questions. However, this close guy-friend is 2 years younger than me, but it doesn't really matter when we talk, anyway.

Is it okay if I talk to him about crushes and guys and stuff? Of course not like the way girls do kas that would be kinda weird on his part hehe. But the kinds of stuff you discuss on the "Ask the Fellas" thread...

Or will I embarrass myself?

[devilish_chunsa]

theres nothing wrong with that~ infact, its probably safer than talking to your girlfriends about it coz girls tend to talk... ALOT. and they might just slip it out. i talk about guys to my guy friends all the time. and its so much better hearing it from guys perspective towards another guy. and they will be brutally honest about it.

no, you wont embarass yourself, you gotta make sure what kinda guy friends you have.

but... you also got to make sure this guy friend of yuor doesnt have any feelings towards you or everything will backfire.

[fobes_movingmushroom]

i'm assuming that you two have a mutually i'm-not-interested-in-you-more-than-a-friend relationship and that youre quite good friends because you can talk about anything to him.
i dont think its a probably if you talk to him about guys and crushes and stuff and if you think he might feel weird about it, then may be let him know that it works two-ways and that he can talk about his crushes with you too. just make sure that it isnt you that he's crushing on.
me and my male friend do that all the time. i talk to him about my crushes and he talks to me about his crushes and i help him with what to do about it. im pretty sure you wont embarrass yourself. guys dont think all that much into things as girls do, or if they do its about the good side.

[ShadowMax76]

make sure he's bi or gay. lol.
or ask a guy who's loyal to his gf.
or a cousin?

i'm quite convinced he might show his true colours when you start asking him about guys and all.

-pat- all i can ask of you is to ... hm..

[ms. rachellica]

there's nothing wrong in asking guy's perspectives on issues. if ur really close then u shudn't feel embarrassed. i have a couple of "older brothers" even tho they're not really related to me.

[bee21192]

luckily for me i seem to find my "older brother" who i can talk to .. although in most cases its about other problems..
and i've officially 'adopted' an older brother for myself.. and there's little, if any, chance that we fall for each other.. cos he's 12 yrs older! haha
we share the same chinese horoscope and birthday , that makes our 'link' special haha

[mimi_.]

i have an older brother, but i NEVER ask him anything to do with relationships... that would be too embarrassing...
i talk all the time to my male friends, two of them in particular.
both are really helpful, and offer a guys point of view so i dont really bother asking my girlfriends
ive known both guys for over seven years so nothing is embarrassing now.
i really think it depends on your relationship your friend.
have you two talked about a past gf/bf before ? (has he come to you to ask you something from a girls perceptive ? )
how long have you known each other ? how close are you ?
i personally dont think its anything to be embarrassed by, but its your decision.

[ehytee7]

you don't have to feel embarrass about it, if you do then just don't share it with him. i think for the most part, it's good to talk to a close guy friend about your crushes and those kind of stuffs because they tend not to slip it out with other people based on my experience that is.

i have a guy friend whom i share most of the stuffs that's been going on with my life esp when i crush on someone. he doesn't give me too much advises but knowing that someone is there listening to my rants makes me feel good. he does the same thing too when he has girl problems.

[blue_wishesx3]

there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

i have this really close guy friend that i talk to about
mostly everything (from everyday things to tough stuff)
we talk to each other about the opposite sex and it's pretty good sometimes :]
we can get each other's opinion + perspective.

[WildSevenGirl]

Lol, you shouldn't feel stupid and whatnot. xD 75% of my friends are guys and with my five closest guy friends, we talk about the people we're in love with. xD

[Pomegranate]

Of course its not silly.
However, it really depends on the person and your relationship with them =\.
If it's strong and open, go right ahead.
If it's a bit strange and you feel weirded out by the thought, don't do it.

And the younger the better I guess =)
Apparently those who have never been in a relationship give the best advice

[handsomecupcakee]

I tend to talk to my guy friends about this more than girls... depends on the situation though..

I think it's perfectly fine telling/talking to guys about crushes or yeah.. cause then they like.. Point things out that you might've missed.. Lols

[yunshin_*]

Lol, there's nothing wrong if the guy is two years younger than you. I have four best guy friends and a big bro figure and I share these sorts of stories and stuff with them more than with girls. Don't get me wrong. I do have best girl friends and all, but I communicate more with the guys lately. And I agree with the person above me. They do point missed things out, but also things you've thought about and don't want as an outcome. If they tend to be goofy, they might even say the most random funniest stuff ever if they know the crush, LOL. But yeah, they reciprocate the same to me, so I get my chances to point out things to them, too, about girls of course.

However, it seems I'm always the one who has to point out if a girl is hot or not, instead of the guys saying if the guys I think about are cute or not. It's not because it's a sexuality thang, but more because they'll dish out stuff they know about the guy instead.

[standing ovation]

I think it depends on your relationship with the guy. I have many guy friends, and for some of them it's in the nature of our relationship that I trust them with guy problems. But I make sure they're people that can't possibly believe I have a thing for them or something.

[cloudy skys]

I always talk to my close guy-friends about my crushes! Sometimes, I ask them for advice, and other times I come to them to complain. The feedback I get from them really helps sometimes. They can be good help too, if they're close friends with the guy

[simplicity90]

if you guys are close enough, it's fine. i do that with my close guy friends. it's good to hear a guy's prespective on situations like crushes.

[MOOCHI]

trust me....u dont want an older brother!! they get selfish. LOL. at least mine does!
there's nothing wrong with talking to a younger guy. sounds.........interesting. lol. if he
likes who u are....he'll probably like talking about anything right?

[sixth.]

i always talk about my boyfriends/guys of interest to my guy friends, it gives me a whole different perspective on the situation.
and they ask me about girl stuff so it's all fair (:
wouldn't talk to my bro about these things though... he'd most likely call up a few of his mates and go interrogate the boy.

[PhuongNguyen]

I find it a lot easier to talk to guys about things than to girls, because guys tends to be less judgemental and critical.

[Nine]

it's not stupid or embarrassing to talk about those things to guy-friends
I have guy-friends and I'll talk about stuff like that with them all the time because they do the same to me, and we exchange opinions and etc.
