The Situation

"He called me 'bro' after we hooked up what does that mean"

The Brutal Truth

Calling you 'bro' after hooking up is a huge indicator he isn't taking you seriously and may lack romantic interest. It shows he sees you more as a friend than a partner, which may leave you feeling disrespected and confused.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might spiral into self-doubt, questioning their worth and trying to over-explain or justify his behavior in hopes of fixing the situation. This is wrong because it reinforces the idea that they must earn respect rather than expect it as a given.
