Being called bro means absolutely nothing.. My girlfriend called me bro before we were dating and she still calls me bro today.

I really don't want being called that by her off all the people. C'mon who likes being in the brozone.

What you're demonstrating here is how guys often accidentally shit test themselves, by finding a challenge to themselves in something that might not even be a challenge. But assuming it is and orienting yourself to be offended or put off, etc., is actually "failing" a "shit test" you have effectively created for yourself.

....she refers to me a bro out of the blue. I just told her that I don't like that coming from her. Just couldn't ignore it and keep interacting with her.

Have you ever been talking to a girl and then she says something like, "What did you mean by that?" out of nowhere? And then you maybe scramble to explain what you meant?

Well, you just did that to HER.

Whatever fun was in the interaction before, you just threatened it, if you didn't squash it. Now she's probably wondering what else might randomly offend you. Because to her, what you did was random and out of left field.

In case, she decides to stop calling me that how do I make her percieve me differently?

Again, the issue is you. You assumed there was an issue when there wasn't necessarily. You might have actually friendzoned yourself here, if anything.

There's no way to really fix it. If she sees you differently now (in a negative light) after you being offended, then you can't do anything about it.

I'd recommend just playing it off as if nothing happened. Don't bring it up again. Move on. Maybe she'll just write it off.

Actions speak louder then words.

Asking her not to refer to you as "bro" (which for the record I don't see it as being much of anything; again actions speak louder then words) doesn't do anything for you.

Asking her on a date, does. Even if she says "no, sorry I just see you as a friend" then at least it's all sorted and you can stop wondering whats up.

I've chatted up girls a bit before asking them out on dates, and ultimately it boiled down to me being too friendly and not making my intentions clear early enough.

There's no context to really go on other then "You've been texting for awhile" but make it a habit of not doing that and being more direct earlier on from here on out.

Had a girl call me bro then in the next few days I was helping her bf with his “duties”.... play along and don’t get phased by what she says... titles don’t matter

Dude. You're a bro.

Who gives a fuck. My girlfriend says “dude” all the time.

It doesn’t mean anything.

I think the best way to go about this is to tell her your real intentions. If you are interested in pursuing a relationship with her then you have to let her know. Worst comes to worst, she doesn’t see you that way, you move on without having that “what if” feeling and accept the rejection without being weird about it.

It’s good that you’ve established that you don’t like being in the brozone, as long as you didn’t do it rudely :)

Good luck man, hope something good comes happens with this girl!
