There's plenty of homoerotic potential there (he said half-jokingly ).

Men hang out with other men and usually there's no big gaylord dilemma. I think the gaylord dilemma happens when a man in the company of other men gets paranoid about what might be his own nascent homosexuality. Is it situational? Maybe. Can a heterosexual man have a man-crush on another man? I know I have. But I'm not gay.

Once again, Seinfeld takes it away to explain akwardly hilarious aspects of modern life. Enjoy.

I'm not sure I get this the OP won't hang out with a gay guy because society says it's bad?? As a straight make I have just as many gay friend's of each gender as I do straight. I hang out with them with no thought to what society (whatever that mean's) think's.

Some people really need to get over what other's might or might not think about them.

I'm totally in need of some bro-time but can't get over the concept that I might be perceived as weird.
Go for it, give a number and add a line like "I like you cologne", to makes sure it stays platonic

I've done it before. It's not weird. Those who think it is wish they would have the guts to do this and/or weren't so anti-social so that they wouldn't have to sit alone at home all day long. I msut say that I never asked for the number right away. You don't know that guy. But I've been asked and asked for their number after I had met them 2-3 times. Anyway, If I thought he was cool, I'd do it anyway. For me, it just takes time to find out. Btw. I read this guy's ( below ) comment after I wrote this, but he totally proves my point.

Is bromance like going to the mall with another dude to go shopping for new clothes?

I am sorry but society is trying so hard to water down homosexuality and keeps coming up with these "cute" terms to describe something that is obviously homosexual in nature, by reading your thread, I would think you are at least bisexual.
Ya, I am not surprised you don't have any friends. Nobody will think you are sane when you think men who have male friends are gay. And nobody wants to befriend the insane. Seriously, nobody does.

But if you had nothing but female friends, then what would that say about you? If you had both male and female friend in equal measure, then what would that say?

Get over it.
