Yeah definitely been a great experience. I told him I am definitely gonna make plans to visit him in his country. I also told him that whenever he wants to come back and visit he can bring his wife and they can totally crash at my place.

For me I felt my friend and I really clicked. There was no physical desire. It was entirely platonic. We came off really well together to others, in particular girls, and both of us got lucky. Somehow our chemistry locked women unto us. It was wild. Road tripping, free as the wind, and not a worry in sight.

It's great we talk about life, our countries, women, cars, sports, etc. Definitely a very special person that I know if he lived here we would be best friends. Love the dude!

Not gay and not attracted to him in that way at all, but it's been a really intense friendship we have created in a period of less than a week. I guess I just find it odd cause never have bonded with someone so quickly, especially a male. Those fast intense relationships that happen in a weeks time have happened with women and only because it was more than a friendship.

Well point is he is going back to his country this weekend and I am actually really really bummed, almost as if a best friend that I have known for years was to leave the country. I have never experienced this. Have i just gone through a bromance? I know it's kind of silly, but like I said never had had such an intense and great friendship be built and want to hangout with someone so much as a friend in such a short period of time.
It sounds like you had a really good friendship. I don't think I'd call it a bromance though. I'm just not comfortable with that term, tbh.

Right, same here. There is zero physical attraction and purely platonic. We have just clicked and have really good chemistry as friends.

I'm sure trench warfare is propice to some serious male bonding.

Bromance, LOL..Come on. You clicked with a guy friend and that's hard to find. Make sure you guys keep in touch. Sounds like a lifelong friendship is building. Good for you

You just developed a strong bond with someone, Its not a bromance until you go on an adventure somewhere exotic, like trying to find lost gold in ancient ruins or taking a cross country drive.

On a serious note, keep in touch with your friend. You can always visit him on vacation and see more of the world, what his country and life is like. Let it be the start of something not the end. I work with international communities and people and it shows you how big and varied this world really is.

Totally agree. Definitely not the end! Luckily, my job is very global and we are opening an office in his country this year, so hopefully my job will take me for a period of time there so I can at least take a few days off to visit him!
