Right now I cannot think of a specific example, but in general I definitely agree with the statement, that emotions are often not spoken aloud, but are still there.
I think this is especially the case with girls. It is pretty easy for me and some of my friends to sense what the other guy think about a certain girl just by the way he talk to her or mentions her without saying anything specific. Even without ever mentioning a girl, friends sometimes notice the interest in her which can certainly lead to awkward situation where you know that denying it won't get you anywhere and you have to look for another way to keep your secret at least somewhat secret. I have definitely been told by people that I like a girl and it was true mostly every time.
Maybe this is because guys are supposed to be rather simple and similar thinkers and therefore these things are easy to detect. Another reason could also be that male friends are closer to each other than people think at first. Two girls even without knowing each other well usually always find something to talk about if they want to. For boys it takes a long time to really become good friends, but by that point of time you know exactly how the other person thinks, acts and reacts.

thanks Fabian - very true that guys are tuned in to each other in non-verbal ways. You can see that in athletics or in going out on Saturday night. You get to know your friend's moves, even if you don't talk about it a lot...
