Question

I have a close friend at work. He is a director of his department and I'm in another department. We are considered close because I can always go to his room to chat for a while, eat lunch together, etc. Is this a bromance?

That's great! It sounds like a bromance. Just continue being kind and nice, and everything will work out.

Question

Do most bromances lead to sex?

Community Answer

Bromance, by definition, is platonic. While some deep platonic friendships eventually become romantic in nature, most will not.

Question

Is it cool to have more than one bromance?

Community Answer

Yes, having multiple bromances can work, but you need to commit equal time to each. One option to solve this dilemma is to invite your whole crew out at the same time. Go to a concert, sports game, or restaurant together. The more, the merrier!

Question

Is a bromance a type of gay attachment?

Community Answer

Not at all. It's just a silly word to say guys are super good friends. It means a very close but non-sexual relationship between two men.

Question

My new bromance began holding my hand, cuddling while watching TV, tightly hugging, staring into my eyes, kissing closed mouth and telling me he loves me. He says it platonic. Is it? Is he gay?

Community Answer

It sounds like more than a friendship if you are kissing.

Question

Can I be a part of a bromance even if I'm a girl?

Community Answer

No, you can't. You can have close friends that are men, but a "bromance" by definition is a friendship between two men.

Question

My best friend cuddles up to me and sleeps on my shoulder. Is it normal (as a platonic bromance)?

Tom De Backer

Top Answerer

I have many male friends, and none ever slept on my shoulder. But sure, it's absolutely normal. There's trust, friendship, and clearly also fatigue. So yeah, I don't see anything wrong with it. Unless you don't like it, then you kindly and gently indicate where your boundaries are. "Feeling drowsy? Here's a pillow, you'll sleep better on the armrest."
