How to Start a Bromance (adapted from http://www.wikihow.com/Start-a-Bromance)

Step 2

    Bond with the bros. Taking the friendship up a notch from acquaintance towards bromance is something that the “typical guy” often struggles with, so here are the basics:
        Spill information that you normally “keep in the vault.” A solid bromance should mean that you will have a trusted ally who you can really be yourself with and talk about things that are typically off limits not only to others, but possibly your significant other.
        Ask for advice. It not only shows your buddy that you respect his opinion, but it also makes him feel more invested in how things turn out.
        Keep it mutual. You don’t want to be blabbering about your life when you know he probably has a secret or two he could share. Ask him how things are going, especially if your friend seems out of character. Don’t prod; a simple “You seem off, dude, is something up?” should do the trick. If he says he’s fine, leave it be.

more steps to come, and remember, these are only suggestions… there are many ways to start a bromance, and many types of bromances…     ‘topher ;)

Intro - How to Start a Bromance - A bromance is a close, platonic friendship of love, support and deep affection between two males. Sometimes awkward, yet always steadfast, a genuine bromance is today’s way for two dudes to say, “I love you, man!” If you’re a guy who’s never had a male BFF, though, finding your bromate can be challenging. Whether you’re interested in finding the Robin to your Batman or you’ve recently met a potential best friend, knowing exactly how to initiate a bromance will get your relationship off to a good start.    

Step 1 - Spend more time with guys. Connect with your guy friends through the things you both like to do for work and play, and connect with their friends too. Instead of just having a few beers, watching the game and then calling it a night, consider asking your bro to check out a new band or play Frisbee golf at the park with other friends. Get two tickets to a movie or concert and ask around to see if any guys want to use the free ticket. Even if you don’t have guy friends already, some men make new friends through their girlfriends or wives, while others check out the “purely platonic” section of Craigslist. A lot of bromances develop from guys doing things together that their girlfriends/wives aren’t interested in: lifting weights at the gym, going to heavy metal shows, playing video games, etc.
