What does "keep it on the downlow" mean?

So, I've found like the only cute gay guy I've met ever at sixth form last week, and we've agreed to be friends with benefits. But he's said a couple of times that he wants to "keep it on the downlow", and I'm not quite sure what he means.

Any help?

Thanks :smile: x

So he just means don't talk about it with my friends? I thought he meant like, not do stuff very often. That's cool if so :colondollar:

Downlow means keep it private and not tell people. I mean you can tell your friends if you want to...as long as you know that they're really good at keeping secrets and it won't spread any further.

I took that the wrong way then, so oops... well, I've only told a few people and I know they'll keep quiet about it. So glad it doesn't mean what I thought it meant.

Thanks for replying! :biggrin:
