All throughout my life, there have been two phrases that I’ve
been most afraid of hearing girls say.
One is kind of universal. Some of us guys are like kids in
adult bodies – we believe everything we hear without questioning it. Life is
simpler that way. So, when a girl pitches in with a “Bro”, we are already picturing
a dude holding a mug of beer in hand. It’s worse if she happens to be our
crush because we guys would use that
term with a girl, only as a signal to her, or in rare cases, to ourselves, that
there wouldn’t be any serious relationship down the line.
