Let us give it a thought :
GIRLS:" when a girl loves a boy, no one knows except the girl"
BOYS. " when a boy loves a girl, everyone knows except the girl." S.S
According to me, this is correct to some extent. And it has to be understood from various angles of view. I can not apply to all women as a collective lot.
What may transpire through the message is the truth that boys have always been boastful with regards to their feminine conquest as they take them for a pride. Some may find it wise not to praise the qualities of the girl as they might fear the fact that a girl might become big-headed, and -in the long run - end up taking the man for a granted fool. On the other hand, girls are naturally secretive and reserved , hence keeping for themselves- and sometimes their close friends-their love affairs.
