Bromance?

[rosswalk]

Ive heard the expression bromance before and kinda get what it means but how can you tell if your starting to be attracted to a guy in a sexual way or if hes just a really good friend that you are close to and hug and tell each other everything.
im really good friends with a guy and hes very good looking we are always hugging each other and sit beside each other close etc i sometimes feel like itd be so natural to kiss him or something and i know i love him its a bit confusing, he could be a very close friend or i wonder if its heading in another direction.
has anyone else felt like that? im not sure what to do.

Well, I haven't been in a situation like this before, but it sounds like you've developed an attraction to this guy, both physically and emotionally.
It could just be your hormones doing this to you, but if you really think you like this guy, then tell him how you feel about him.

A bromance usually refers to two guys who are extremely close emotionally. I would hold off on telling him how you feel because you are not sure how you feel yet and it might just be hormones. Wait a while, get your thoughts together, and then make a decision. Straight guys feel like this all the time so don't worry it's normal. Again, it might just be hormones and it might not. Take some time and get your thoughts together before saying something you'll regret later.

A bromance would be a romance if you were opposite sexes or gay. So its a male friendship where the guys are as into each other as lovers without sex.

This is how my relationship started, It just sort of built up and then I told my boy how I felr and it went well from there. You should tell him when your comfortable

Well let me state first of all that I am straight , perhaps a little bit more open minded than some but never the less straight and some of what you describe I feel that there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Bromance- Aristotle's classical description of friendship is often taken to be the prototype of the bromance. He wrote around 330 BC, "It is those who desire the good of their friends for the friends' sake that are most truly friends, because each loves the other for what he is, and not for any incidental quality." There are numerous examples of famous intense male friendships throughout most of Western history, and such relationships were likewise common.


Also ,as I have stated in another thread , male bonding is and will be for a very long time a Social taboo, it is not encouraged like female bonding and friendships are. So I can understand your concern and why you are confused. Based upon your statements , I would conclude that you are just close friends.., of course teenagers go through a period where they are hornier than normal people and maybe that could explain some of your other feeling. Just a thought.

I'd say you have feelings for this guy but I wouldn't tell him because you don't know if he is bi or gay ... You don't want to risk the friendship you have :(

Hmmm, bromances I don't think would go far as like cuddling, since the two friends are that close to each other. So kissing, I say would be more of a crush then a bromance. So maybe you have created more feelings than a bromance, because the guys are suppose to love each other and feel comfortable with each other, but not actually love love each other like in a relationship.

That's not a bromance. That's a crush.

To be quite honest it sounds like this bromance is starting to develop into something more than a bromance I would suggest that you hold off on telling him how you feel until you are sure that it will not ruin your friendship.
