Do I need to apologise for my attitude?

Texting a guy that I work with. And simultaneously spent weeks flirting with. He’s been off for a while. We texted last night.

Conversation was as follows:

Him: “I sort of wish I could properly explain to you why I’m off. I just can’t be open though”

Me: “yeah I can’t even say a lot right now as I haven’t a clue what’s happening. But you know where I am regardless. I can listen to as much or little as you want me to”

Him:”it’s fine I’ll sort it” then he sent me some random meme

Me: “I just said I’ll listen regardless. The offers there for you to take or leave.” And I sent the laughing emoji for the meme

Him: another meme

Me:yeh I agree. I think cooking for myself is a waste of time after a long day.

I don’t know if the conversation just doesn’t flow well or if I’m just being a bit dismissive?

I’m autistic too so I can’t ever figure out if my tone is off…I do think I may be wrong here possible.

He sounds like an attention seeker. Like the kind of person who would check into hospital on Facebook but not say why or put his status as ‘fuming today’ and when anyone asks why say ‘oh I can’t say much right now’ ‘I can’t say on here’ etc. You don’t have anything to apologise for though, you were very kind.
