Is it bad that my crush calls me dude?

[Anonymous]

I really like this guy and I am completely incapable of flirting but he seems to be flirting with me and we talk all the time and we've known eachother for a little over a year now. Have I been friendzoned if he calls me dude all the time?

Guys have been my primary source of friends for as long as I can remember, many of my guy friends tell me, "I'm one of the guys"

I don't typically change how I address people, even if I have a painfully huge crush on them. Just saying.

You could be friendzoned, but you could be not friendzoned too if you ask me.

Thanks for the hopeful comment :D

I wouldn't really worry about if he is one of those guys who calls everyone, or at least most people "Dude". Otherwise, you might be friend-zoned. Good luck, Dude!

[Asker]

By what I've seen he only calls his guy friends dude, I have never seen him call any other girl that but me :l

Still, being called dude doesn't automatically equate to being friendzoned. Sometimes I'll call a crush dude just to see her reaction. Because little things like that bother some people. You. :p

[Asker]

I'm not bothered by it at all, and a few friends told me that I should be.

[epiman94]

Sorry, i assumed it did. If it doesn't bother you, why are you asking?

[Asker]

Because my friends think I've been friendzoned so I've just been worrying about it.

Yeah being a broski is generally not hot. Unless this guy is gay, he isn't thinking about banging one of the guys.

it''s better to call you dude, than corny stuff like "honey","sugar", etc

[psykobrahe]

No idea. Maybe he's open to dating a dude? By the way you have really amazing eyes.

I call everyone bro or buddy, it means nothing. Doesn't really change until I'm in a relationship.

Yeah you have been fz, but its a lot easier for girls to get out of it than guys he just sees you as a good friend that is not a bad thing.

If he had a petname for you, then yeah I'd say he has a crush. Dude=friendzone.
