"a close but nonsexual relationship between two men."

Although I think I have heard it in the context of a "man crush" were one guy idolizes the other and wants to be best friends. But that's still platonic. Bromance is a play on the words brother and romance for a reason though. It is because the men get so close, it almost becomes like a sexual or romantic relationship. But at the same time it shouldn't be, because then that is just a homosexual relationship. Although you could argue that two people could be in both a bromance and a homosexual relationship at the same time, I think. I don't know. At any rate, when talking about Arthur and David, they are using bromance just to mean a really close friendship.
