Think I may of accidentally ignored my friend and now he is acting really different? Do I try to apologise or ask why he is being weird?

So recently, I was at a pub a few of my friends work at and was just hanging out round by the bar talking to a few people whilst they were working.
one of my friends, who I had a brief fling with, came downstairs on the bar and because I was on my phone looking at something when he came down, I quickly glanced up and then looked back at my phone again as I was a bit distracted by what I was doing so didn't really say Hi right away or acknowledge him.

I then stopped what I was doing on my phone, we said Hi as he was walking past but he then completely ignored me, had his back to me the whole time and didn't really acknowledge me at all. We normally had causal conversation here and there prior to this and it was really dead in the pub so he was just standing around. I am aware he didn't have to come up and have a chat, but it was just very different to how we have been recently where we have been a bit more chatty with each other

i’m just worried that I’ve pissed him off by ignoring, what may seem like deliberately, when that want the case as he is know also really blunt when texting as well. We’ve never had a close relationship, but have also been friendly and I think I may have messed up by doing this.
I rarely see him, maybe once or twice here and there every few months or so, so feel like bringing up that I feel like he’s annoyed at me might be a bit weird, but i’m just feeling a bit anxious about the whole situation.

i would never ignore someone purpose and if i did make him feel like I had, I would want to apologise as I know its a bitchy thing to do. not sure what i should do, as its a bit of a delicate situation

Well you're not close friends, you've had a fling in the past (did either of you want more?) and you're not entirely comfortable around each other. I'm guessing you're quite young.

I wouldn't do anything or address it at all. The next time you see him make a point of saying hello and stop for a chat.

I think you need to stop over thinking. I’m an over thinker but this takes it to a whole new level. It blew my mind.

I’m not sure if we did want anything more, had kicked me out right after we hooked up, we kind of ended it on okayish terms, said we wanted different things as he had recently broken up with someone. But since then we’ve followed each other on instagram and he was staring a lot at a party we had been at last month. Its a bit of a mess really i think, but I did get the vibe that there was feelings there still from both of us so not sure. Probably just overthinking and need to let it go

He kicked you out after you hooked up and you want to be friendly with this gem of men?
