To further confirm this, observe how he behaves among his good male friends.

Listen to the names he uses when he is addressing them.

A guy that calls his good male friends “bro” or “fam” is addressing them in the exact manner that he addresses you.

This means that he looks at you as he looks at them, a good friend.

Observe his body language whenever he is around you.

In displaying the same body language around you, as he does his friends, he is signally yet again that he sees you as a good friend.

Furthermore, his body language is platonic whenever he is socializing with you.

Instead of hugging you close to his chest, which would demonstrate romantic interest, he hugs you from the side or shakes your hand instead.

When you are hanging out in public, he is walking in front of you as opposed to beside you.

These are all strong body language signs that he isn’t looking at you as a romantic interest.

When he calls you “bro” or “fam,” he is showing you that you are a part of his crew.

He looks at you as someone that he trusts on a friendship level.

This means that he is okay with talking to you about other girls that he is attracted to.

He does the same thing with his good male friends.

There have been several moments where he has spoken to his good male friends about girls, and he would do the same with you.

Yet again, this is behavior that signals that he is looking at you as a friend.

If you are friends with his good male friends, don’t be afraid to ask them about whether he talks to them about girls he is attracted to.

Should they confirm that he does, this is a stronger sign that he isn’t looking at you as a romantic prospect.

A guy who calls you “bro” or “fam” is indicating that you are important enough to him that you are someone he feels the need to be protective of.

He starts watching over you like he would a younger sister.

He is protective of you whenever you are in social settings among guys, especially the guys that he doesn’t know.

This isn’t due to jealousy, but more so due to a desire to look out for you like he would a younger sister.

Any guy that you show a romantic interest for comes under his scrutiny.

If he approves of the guy, he tells you to go for him.

If he doesn’t, he tells you to avoid him because he has heard bad stories about him.

Again, he doesn’t do this because he secretly likes you.

He does it to look out for you, and not wanting you to get hurt by some guy that he doesn’t believe is right for you.

He knows how guys think in regard to girls, and to him, he believes that it is his duty to protect you from those he deems unworthy or unsavory.
