My really close guy friend confessed he liked me but his actions gave me no hint

I 23 (F) have this 25 (M) friend from uni and we have been friends for a bit over 2 years. He's never really hinted at wanting me but recently he told me he liked me. Before he confessed this just around maybe 2 weeks ago he was telling me that he was going to invite me to his wedding when he got married. On new years he texted me "happy new years broski" he's always called me "bro." He would always talk about other girls to me the most recent one was around a month ago. I just don't get why or how he likes me if it seems like he just saw me as one of the bros. When I ask men about this all they say is to give him a chance.
