Well what it means is you're one of the guys. It means you have been accepted into a guy's circle, and he can talk to you freely without holding back. This for the most part is a good thing, believe it or not. As for whether you're zoned. I'd say probably not. It's less likely for a guy to zone a girl than for a girl to zone a guy. You should be alright.
If you like the guy, make it known on some level. Try flirting with him. If that doesn't work, and he doesn't make a move, try hitting on him. That doesn't work, and he doesn't make a move, either confess your feelings, or ask him out, or both. This isn't rocket science, and really, if he's so comfortable around you I doubt you making a move on him will ruin your friendship. So if it doesn't work out, just drop it, and go back to things the way they were before, like nothing happened, and I'm pretty sure things won't get weird.
Sound good?
Guys don't have a "friendzone."
Or, there's no barriers in place to keep you in or out of the "friendzone."
Guys aren't weird and fucked up and afraid to be friends with somebody and still pursue a romantic relationship with them. That's strictly girl shit. Only girls think it's bad to screw your friends, and I guess it is, if you're planning on screwing a bunch of other guys too, and you don't want to stop. Then maybe you wouldn't want to hurt your friend.
Girls aren't very monogamous.
Well, if you do it first, you clearly are putting them on the friend zone. Many many guys will never even try to get our from here if they feel they have been friend zoned. So they treat you as a dude because that’s what you told them they were for you.
It depends because that might just be his lingo. I say "bruh" alot😂 so don't put to much into it if he only says it every once in a while. But if he calls u "fam" u are friendzoned and there's probably no return
My fucking ex called me dude sometimes while we were dating.
No, it doesn’t mean they’ve friendzoned you.
Lol, my boyfriend calls me dude sometimes.

No. you're ABSOLUTELY not.
My last relationship we did it like rabbits everyday, dated for 5 years, had an apartment together. And we called eachother "Bro, Brah, Dude, even things like "faggot", loser, teasing about the other person being gay before having sex with eachother. (LOTS of teasing).
5 years and it was healthy as hell. It ended due to something 100% unrelated with her ending up developing a mental illness down the road.
But its not friendzone.
I've flirted this way. It was obvious we liked each other and she brought it up, calling me dude or bro. It was obvious she was joking just flirting/teasing so I went along with it. But it's different when the guy literally tells you, you are one of the guys.
I feel he sees you as a close friend. Are you friend zoned? Probably not. If you like the guy show him interest. He won't give you the"I love you like a sister" type thing some girls give to guys. He will probably straight up tell you if he is or isn't interested
No. It just means they're comfortable with you. If you like the person in that way, just tell them. Can't expect them to want something more if you don't say anything or get their attention.
Yes but he'd probably still bang you if you asked and he's not in a relationship.
hence the friends with benefits.
Pre-requisite your not a ugly blob.
I don't think so it is just something to say. I call my guy and girl friends "bruh". If I'm about to gossip I say "bitch" lmfao.
I call anyone dude if it’s a really casual situation and I’m comfortable. I couldn’t imagine a guy calling me bro though.
That's only a term you can use when you're seeing someone as a best friend of friends. It speaks for itself. You're in the friend zone.
Not necessarily,
If he is bold guy then you are friendzoned..
However if he is shy!.. And doesn't wants you to know then he might be trying to hide his affections.
I'm not sure about that, although it would appear he believes you are male so you better hope he's gay.
I wouldn’t necessarily say that you’re in the friend zone. I use “dude” sometimes when I get excited about something.
Bro... eh, not sure.
No, I call everyone that. I'm not much for pet names like babe, baby, sweetheart, hun, and stuff like that. Just because I call someone dude or bro doesn't necessarily mean I only see them as a friend.
It is just a bad habit, we men have. No big deal! Sometime I will call my friend girl, "dude." I feel bad for saying it sometime, but what can I say?
I would assume I was friend-zoned if a guy called me bro, haha! Dude, I don't know, we use that all the time here, for men and women. But bro, friend-zone.
I personally wouldn't call a girl who I am interested in my bro, or dude.
Here's the thing about guys. They usually start a conversation with other guys with bro or dude. And while speaking to a girl they use the same. Doesn't mean friendzoning though
We call everyone dude or bro essentially unlike women we are not self conscious about what we say, how its said or how we move. Only women use intentional phrases to subtly tell a man that you're nothing more than a friend
It's so irritating when girls use those words, especially when talking to guys ew
No, I’m from Orange County CA so we use bro and dude a lot here. Guys call me that and believe me I am not friend zoned ha
I call everyone bro and dude whether I’m dating them or not.
That’s just me personally tho
