Don’t worry, you’ll definitely have time consider who’s (drool) worthy enough to be listed on your not-so-secret online crush list – the Secret Crush feature won’t be available to the US until “the end of the year.” A test launched in Colombia back in September or last year and is now open to Facebook users in 19 countries including Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and Thailand.
