http://www.hushcrush.comDo you have a secret crush on somebody, but aren't sure what to do about it? Then hushcrush.com is the place to log on to. Recently launched, this fun site can turn a secret crush into a real romance. The Hush Crush site provides a place where young people who have a secret crush on somebody can visit and send an automatically-generated Hush Crush Note to the object of their affections via email. The email is anonymous, and notifies the receiver that someone has a crush on him/her. But it doesn't end there - in order to promote any romantic possibilities without the risk of rejection for the sender, the Hush Crush Note provides a way for the receiver to find out who sent the Note ONLY if the feeling is mutual. From that point it is up to the couple to pursue the romance for themselves, but Hush Crush certainly lends a great helping hand in breaking the ice! Of course if there is no match, then the sender's identity is kept hush, and he/she never loses face. It's a win-win situation, and is proving very popular among web chatters who find romance on the net.
