Another thing is guys never call me this first
It's always me starting it first then they do it
If a guy calls you dude/bro are you in the friend zone?

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?

I really don't know anything about what this guy is like. I know some people who say "dude" or "bro" to anyone. I mean anyone. Even their parents. I also know guys who just don't call people. They like people. They like spending time with friends. They might even have interest in others, but they just don't call. I never quite got them, but whatever.
My point is, don't rule him out. Ultimately, if you're interested in him, and he hasn't made a move, there are a million plausible reasons why not. If you want him, and he's not coming. Go get him. At least then you know your answer. At least then you can say you tried.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
@Angelina25 -- well, acting like that, all that toughness and rude behavior will only suit a male. it doesn't even suit your high pitched voices when you try to behave like guys swear around and/or use slang the whole time it just looks gross and fake.
I call everyone bro and dude whether I’m dating them or not. That’s just me personally tho

Worst thing a man can call a woman is 'bro' and consider her 'one of the guys'. That's not flattering or nice at all. Just means he doesn't find you attractive and doesn't think you are a feminine woman.
