Hello! It is so heartening to see people looking for deeper connections! Based on the information available, whether you are a 'bro' simply because you use the term is not a settled fact. While calling someone 'bro' is often a 'nice thing' 1, it doesn't necessarily mean there is a special bond right away. Some people use the term to define a certain level of closeness 2, but others use it very casually with people they have just met. One source suggests that you might be overthinking it if you assume the word implies a deep relationship immediately 1. Because social language is so flexible, the impact of the word depends more on the context of the conversation than a strict rule 12.
