What it means: he calls me bro in a text meaning

“The word 'bro' landed in a romantic chat like a folding chair at a wedding. The court will determine damages.”

“The term 'bro' is not an automatic friend-zone conviction, but it is certainly evidence wearing cargo shorts. Some people use 'bro' flirtatiously. Some use it to defuse romantic tension. Here, after 'I had fun tonight :)' — a warm post-date message — 'same bro' pours Gatorade on the candlelight. His follow-up, 'you know what I mean,' does not clarify; it asks plaintiff to do emotional unpaid labor. Ruling: possible awkwardness, possible distance. Ask directly with humor once. If he keeps calling you teammate, accept the jersey.”
