I feel that I recently made a huge mistake, in something that happened...
I was talking to a friend, a few days ago, and we were simply joking around. He said, "you know, you can be really mean sometimes!," saying it as a joke.
I said, "Yes, but you love me anyway," and he responded differently than I expected--"You know, it's funny you mention that. I really love you." I thought he was simply kidding, as we'd been doing all afternoon, and though I DO love him, I didn't say it back; I just laughed.
Despite the fact that I love him, since I didn't say it back, he said he felt "stupid, and uncomfortable." Now, I feel like dirt.
I sent him a letter, saying that I do love him, and explained everything--but still, I feel so low, because he seemed so hurt by it.
Anything you know of, that I can do??
