When a guy calls you "Bro" or "Dude", Does it mean he doesn't see you as girl and doesn't interested in you and you just got friendzoned?

Question

This guy is my friend. I have known him for almost 5 years. Before, he never calls me "Bro" or "Dude", instead he used to call my name directly or "girl" (like : "okay, girl" or "yes, girl"). But nowadays, he suddenly calls me "Bro" and "Dude" often. (never uses "girl" anymore). Does it mean he do not see me as girl? Does it mean that he do not interested in me? And does it mean that I just got friendzoned?

He is aware that I am a girl. Of course he is. But I mean, he even said something like : "Ergh, you are so typical girl." (when I answered "up to you" when he asked "where we should have lunch?") or "Why don't you wear skirt for this formal events? If I was a girl, then I would wear skirt" or "Wow, you are quite fast as a girl" (when I took shower only for 10 minutes).

Relax honestly if he has known you for 5 years he is not watching what he says. He knows that your not watching his moves so he has slipped into calling you a dude. Which has become gender nutrual over the years. If it bugs you that much talk to him about it. Has he eventually freindzoned you yea he has over time. However a guy's freind zone is more one of comfort/freindship than just forgetting that you have a private parts like a woman's is. If you don't just want to be freinds talk to him about it. He currently does not think of you romantically. You can easily change that by suggesting that you two could date, have a freind suggest that you two date/are a couple. If you really wanted to just one day sexually tease him by being in a bikini when he comes over. When he looks at you say something cute to him smile and wink at him and then say that your going to change after trying it on.

Despite the idea behind men liking every women they are friends with the truth is you have probably been in the friend zone for at least 4 of those 5 years. My guess is he used a new term because he had used it in the day for something else. If it continues it may mean something, but it won't be linked to relationship stuff. To break the friendzone is just as hard for women as it is for men after such a long time.

does he call everyone else that too? Is this a new slang for him in general? If I was interested in a guy, I would hate to be called that but then again if I was interested in a guy I wouldn't wait 5 years to let him know.

It sounds like you may be in the friend zone. He may have had a crush on you at one point in time but maybe he has a girlfriend or a girl he's dating or seeing? What do you think?

depends on the guy you need to see for more signs to know how he sees you. better even if you simply ask. I for once use the term to friendzone guys.

JuicyBrain · Answer

Well, you ARE his friend ! He is probably only trying to make you feel accepted and respected as a friend by overlooking the fact that you are a girl and thereby putting you two on equal footing. If you show some interest in him, he might change his tune and I bet he'd call you something like sexy or girl.

Not always. It's a common part of my vocabulary and sometimes it just slips out. If he EMPHASIZES it then you are looking at friendzone territory possibly.

I believe it means that he has either friend zoning your, or is trying to friend zone you so he doesn't ruin the friendship.

If a person calls your "bro" or "dude" it means they're getting ready to attack! Take the upper hand ASAP and stab him in the stomach with a pocket knife.

frozenhorizon · Answer

He sounds annoying based on your second paragraph... but regardless I don't think it means anything.

User999 · Answer

It doesn't mean anything as bro and dude are common. They are just the defaults

zapples · Answer

He likes you. It's a defense mechanism.
