The first thing that happened was, I asked a girl I knew who was friends with the "Male Friend".

I sent her a message via-messaging system.

She told me that he was worried about me.

I said, "That's strange. No one should be worried about me, I'm fine."

She said, "I am, and he misses you."

It felt like a deep stab in my brain just to hear that someone was sad because of my actions.

All of this wouldn't have happened if I hadn't even shown the slightest interested in him...
