Gay crush or just a bro crush?

Couple of young guys where I work. One guy follows the other around like a puppy. Makes sure they work the same shifts, laughs at all is jokes, go on breaks together and constantly talks about him when he's not around. I've seen him go from quiet and withdrawn to lighting up when the other guy walks in.

I can't tell if he has a standard dudebro man crush or if he's closeted and has a serious love interest crush. They other guy absolutely loves the attention and seems to bask in the other guys admiration.

I'm more than twice their age and honestly I don't understand this generation of young people, but I have to say the relationship is sorta cute.

How the fuck should we know, honey? Enjoy the show! I like watching my college students' interacting.

Sounds like two closeted guys who really like each other but are either afraid or don't know how to take it to the next level

Being a Gay man I've never had a "Bro Crush" without wanting to fuck the guy. I can't imagine what that's like

R1 The guy being crushed on has a girlfriend and a reputation for chasing after any new girl who starts working here. Not sure if the guy with the crush is single or not.

R3 it does seem odd. He's completely enamored with him.

I guess the one guy could be a closet case and the other just loves the attention

It’s like how gay guys feel about some socialite or Diva.

Alot of straight guys crush on sports stars. It always cracks me up when I see them wearing their favorite players number shirt. Like they're dating or something. Whatever.

I don't know, if a guy makes me "light up" when he enters a room it's because I've already had sex with him or I'm going to try really hard to have sex with him really soon

What’s holding you back from asking one or both of them “what gives?” and that you know their generation lacks hang ups when it comes to issues like candid photography.

Cisgender dude crushes can be so perplexing. Whatever their behavior, it probably doesn't occur to them that it looks "gay."

Hetero dudes totally crush on each other. And in some cultures you eldergays would blow a gasket how besties are all over each other and radiate love and warmth to each other. It took me a while to get used to it when I went to work in North Africa and its true throughout most of the Middle East as well.

The one crushing is in LOVE!

by Anonymousreply 21January 31, 2022 1:45 AM

Do not ask them (separately or together) "What gives?" It's rude and will make them self-conscious and could ruin the charming intimacy they have developed. And you will come off as "that pervy guy at work."

by Anonymousreply 22January 31, 2022 1:45 AM

@r20, what a bunch of crap, in this culture when two guys " are all over each other and radiate love and warmth to each other" they go and fuck their brains out. It's only natural

When I was in college most of the guys had best friends and were always very handsy with them in a casual dude bro way. Younger guys don't have the quite the same hang ups as older guys do about showing affection in a non-sexual way.

What a weird, demented creature you R33 are. So terrified that straight guys can have actual affection for each other. Did your father beat or assault you?

by Anonymousreply 34January 31, 2022 2:11 AM

I had one on my frat brother roommate. We were inseparable for a year. Then he became distant after that. My theory was that some of the bros told him that hanging with me all the time did not look good.

The other just ended. I loved this guy so much. A few people here would know him. He just completely went off the rails and kicked me to the curb. Brutal.

I’ve seen a few bromances that turned sour. I know four sets of “straight” guys that were inseparable from middle to high school and maybe to college then suddenly weren’t speaking anymore. They went from BFFs to enemies or just stopped talking without much explanation. I found out that two of those relationships were sexual (from a sister of one because she’d walked in on them and via a phone snoop of another who was a roommate) and I suspect the third & fourth relationship was the same. They’re all married now with kids - except two of the guys, not from the same bromance, who both live a sort of an Ennis Del Mar existence. I think straight guys mess around way more than we know especially when they’re younger and partying together, then the hormones die down and they start entering the real world where societal norms are heavily enforced to make money by selling yourself as a family man. Men keep secrets about homosexuality like their life depended on it, as many here know.

It's a shame that there is still so much homophobia. It's so cute to see two straight guys hanging out and having fun. I remember a few years ago going to the movies and these two besties sat a few rows ahead of me. They were both around 16 or so and they sat together. Some other kids started heckling them and they moved to have one seat empty between them. It was a little sad as they seemed to be just good friends and they felt suddenly uncomfortable to be so close in public.

by Anonymousreply 38January 31, 2022 2:25 AM

R38 that shit comes from women. Women could end homophobia if they wanted to, because men do what they do to attract women. The power of women over men’s behavior, especially now, is very underrated for accountability purposes.

Women could certainly help reduce homophobia, but men also do things for the approval of other men, who don't call each other out on homophobic behavior. They excuse each other's shitty behavior.

by Anonymousreply 46January 31, 2022 2:58 AM

Have you asked them if they know that the man can go up into the man?

by Anonymousreply 47January 31, 2022 4:21 AM

I knew two guys like this. One was in the closet gay and had a huge crush in this hunk of a guy who had joined the company later. I think the first thought it was just a friendship but it was really a massive crush. The hunk was loving the attention from a long-time employee ad I guess thought it was a bro-mance..

Until, people started commenting that they seemed like a gay couple. The hunk, who reeked of toxic masculinity, completely cut it off.

The gay guy only came out to me a few years later when he had left the company. He refuses to talk about his time being hunk's friend.

The crusher has already blown the crushee a few times. Thus the closeness. The younguns don't even consider a BJ to be sex.

He wants his crush inside him quite deeply.
