WAS IT MY FAULT?

I don't really have someone to talk to bout this and I found this site so yeahhh

So I have this very close friend of mine, like super close, same community, same school, same life. Days ago, we were together at a girl's night out with our gang then her ultimate crush showed up, mind you guys, she's very head over heels with this guy. That was actually my first time meeting the guy and boom I've just known that this guy is into me. He approached me asking things about me and as crazy as I am, I entertained him. We danced together, but WITH OUR FRIENDS and my mind was just on my friend the whole time, thinking about how she feels. I know my friend don't like what is happening that moment that when I approached her she just shooed me away. Till the night ended and a day has passed, she never talked to me again. I declined my friends invite to parties and such knowing that she don't want me around her. I've been literally alone for the past days and I don't know what to do anymore. Am I at fault? But I'm not even into her guy. Arghhhhh! So frustrating!

Nope, not your fault. I read you didn't disrespect your friend, were thinking of her, and some like to think you control attraction and emotions, but they are what they are.... (you do have a choice in response, but so do they... and some guy they only had attraction to if they are letting come between friendship, I say is on them...) but people choose the easier answer often. 20 years ago without social media and strangers proving their own point of view, projected upon your story, was actually easier than now.
