Should I apologise to this guy ?

A few months ago a close friend got married, and one of the guests was good friends of the groom.
He made a beeline for a close friend of mine, but she was seeing someone else. Him and I didn't talk or get acquainted for the entire night.

Anyway about a week later, I messaged him. We exchanged a few messages for about a week and then I realised I was not very interested nor was I anywhere near over my ex.
I felt the guy wasn't for me, he told me that he goes out drinking all the time which I don't do at all, and then he was making comments like, 'You seem really geeky' to me.
I just didn't reply to the last message and that was that.

I felt guilty about it but figured he probably would have spoken to me at the wedding/messaged first if he really had been interested, plus me apologising for something he's probably not even arsed about.

However recently i've been wondering if i should. Yesterday I saw my newlywed friend and her husband. I couldn't put my finger on it but the husband seemed off with me, and when my friend went to the toilet he literally didn't say a word to me.
All I can think of is because of his friend. Makes me rethink that I should apologise, what do others think ?

Thanks MN posters for helping me to feel better as I do overthink stuff like this !

It's just all I could think of for him being off, and that aside I felt guilty towards the guy, but I doubt he gives two hoots frankly.

I agree with @Musti that this whole thing is a non event.

I don't understand why you contacted him in the first place though, did he even know who you were? He was probably just replying out of politeness.

I guess at the wedding I found him attractive and my friends suggested I message him. He knew who I was but it was probably just politeness. Guys never tend to be that into me😂

I'm sure plenty of men would be into you, but honestly op, when a guy shows no interest, but more than that, goes after your friend right in front of you, it is best not to then go after him. You can't win em all and you need to retain some dignity and self esteem.

This was months ago, he was hardly showing interest even with the txts. Whatever was going on with the husband, it's unlikely about this unless he felt embarrassed.

Try to put it behind you, stop thinking about this guy and maybe focus on ways to meet someone who is interested in you and not your mates.
