This happened like two hours ago and full consequences are yet to be determined. I (28 M) was texting a friend (26 AFAB). They’re a former partner turned friend when they sent me a funny pickup line about getting laid. I misunderstood their qualifier because it’s late on a Saturday that I spent a whole day working outside. When I asked if they were “…asking or just sharing a funny joke” they responded “yes”
To which I said come over immediately and without hesitation. Without seeing the rest of the text “I wouldn’t have qualified it if not”. Then I got more confused with it and they finally made it clear they were just joking through my horny tired brain fog. I apologized, several times . But didn’t get a real response back. I’m terrified I ruined a friendship I value dearly or damaged their image of me somehow and am now anxiously re-playing this in my head unable to sleep. I’m hoping to talk to them more in the morning and sort this all out
TL;DR I misunderstood several texts with a friend and thought they were coming on to me when they were not. So now idk where we stand

If they are truly just a friend then just shrug it off and forget it ever happened. But it sounds like you wish they were more than a friend, in which case you should still shrug it off and be cool about it. Being awkward about it is only going to hurt you.
