Is your man bromantic?

Has your man been spending more time with his pals than you? Did he ever leave you high and dry to be with his best bud? If you find yourself nodding ‘Yes’ to these questions, get ready to find out how bromantic your guy is.

We smell a bromance!

He’s really busy and he can’t see you today. He’s feeling sorry and he wants you to understand. What’s at stake? And what’s keeping him so busy? He will be watching games and spending the day with his close friends. Once a while, when this happens, it’s not a biggie but if you constantly find yourself at the receiving end of such excuses, there’s trouble in paradise.  You are in for the romance too, aren’t you? And if your prince charming is busy all the time with his cronies, where in the world will you ever get to know him well.

He cancels an important date

You have been waiting for the weekend. Your guy had promised to make it up to you by doing something special. You wait in anticipation and are ready to put your best foot forward. Sorry, again! He can’t make it. He’s badly stuck and can’t give you the details. He’s again choosing his pals over you. Well things will get back to normal again when he apologises and promises to never break your heart again. But, are guys really known for keeping their promises? Rarely! Maybe man-to-man they have a different code but, when it comes to keeping promises made to their girls, it’s a different story altogether. Your guy never wanted space from his buds but he expects you to understand that a guy needs his space and you can’t suffocate him.

He forgets your birthday

Another problem with guys is they can never remember dates and when it comes to anniversaries of any kind, expect them to suffer from temporary dementia. You cannot understand how he forgot your birthday when he’s been always cancelling on you to celebrate birthdays of his friends (He’s definitely bromantic). If he can remember other people’s birthdays, you would expect him to remember yours too. But how a guy functions, there’s no way you can figure that mystery out.

Now that you know your guy is bromantic, you would want suggestions to fix it right? Aren’t girls just great at fixing things?  Here goes!

Acceptance is the key: Yes, it’s tough, but it’s the only way. No matter what you do, you cannot change your guy and if you try too hard, you will only end up losing him.

Friends of your own: You need to grow your friends’ circle and hang out with people more often. This will give you less time to obsess with your guy and take your focus elsewhere. And it’s good to let your guy know you can have fun without him too.

Your guy’s bromance may be a big turnoff for you and you cannot rest in peace till you do something about the situation, but this is where you need to be careful. The more you try to come between him and his friends, the farther you will push your guy away from you. Be fun and fabulous and make your guy want to spend more time with you and NOT because he has to.
