I've had my share of them. One of the boys I had one with is out of high school, and is a Marine now. I haven't spoken to him in over 2 years. I do want to get back in touch with him, since we did end our friendship sourly. I did and said many things I've always regretted. In my honest opinion, I felt like the boy had romantic feelings for me, but was in denial about it since he had a girlfriend at the time. I liked him too. Romantically... The dangerous part was that I think secretly deep down, we didn't have a bromance. We had feelings for each other. So--do you all think bromances are harmless friendships between two guys? Or something that could turn into a relationship--but neither side says it?
I think Bromances are Great if the 2 Dudes are Straight & it's quite Cute (Think One Direction) but if one Guy is Straight & the other is in the Closet, then that's when it gets messy, as it is a Bromance for the Straight Guy, but the line becomes blurred for the Gay Guy & he starts thinking Romance Straight Guy still thinks Bromance, but may make the mistake of playfully flirting with his Gay Friend, who them see's them as a potential Partner, even though that's never gonna happen, a Straight Guy might be willing to experiment, but he is never going to be Gay
It's one of those things that can be very rewarding, or blow up in our face. Both sides can become hurt: in our case, we hold out hope to no avail; the other guy might get creeped out reflecting on how "close" you were the whole time. Sounds like maybe that happened to you. If both are gay though then obviously you don't want to spend all that time not acting on it. I think if you get back in touch with this guy, you both need to make your intentions clear.
It's more Touchy Feely, the Guys are able to tap into their Feminine side & are not scared to Hug each other or be tactile with each other
Being in a bromantic relationship is like standing near a cliff. I've had a straight best friend but you know,but i fell in the cliff. It ruined everything. I liked him, but he's straight. So i ended up getting hurt in the end. btw, we barely talk to each other now.
Thank you guys for the great posts. Yes, the grass may be greener, poster above me. "Not some of my straight friends"--I laughed lol
despite the term 'bromance' i also believe it can also be between girls. i thin kbromances are great..and normally and just two really good friends..i guess they could have feeling for eachtoher but that could happen in any kind of relationship. otherwise i have lots of bromances and i love them and beings friends with people..
