We are dudes... The rules:

If he hit on a girly you liked, hit on your actual girl , hurt your family or stole from you walk away.

If it is something else, confront the issue and get on with your friendship.

Women hold grudges for years over stupid garbage, Men can scream and yell, even fistfight, and forget everything once its settled and its never brought up again...

If you are truly men, which you are at 24, tell him why you are upset and fix it. If he doesn't want to fix it then move on.

Good luck... you can't buy the knowledge you will get from this experience.

Thats a tough deal, kudos to you for being able to handle that and still maintain the friendship.

I don't tell my brother everything that's bothering me or when I'm really down I tend to isolate from family. So reaching out here to unknown people may have been his best option because when you are not thinking clearly reaching out is a way to go.

He knew he would get some smart ass remarks and I think he embraced them just incase so in OP he did a pre notion for those. I admire the guy for reaching out here I really do and it was quite frankly a brave thing of him. Because people are assholes waiting to pounce. It's true.

I think the friend is a chic.

This is where I'd insert a meme of a little guy carrying a fat girl with a quote about him trying to pack her out of the friend zone but getting shut down.

This girl he was dating was outstanding. Way too good for his loser ass. So I swooped in.

Lost a friend, found my wife.

If there is something you really want in life, go after it.

Same rules apply in business.
