If that’s the way you act how do you have any friends. If you didn’t want to go then a white lie like I’m sorry I have plans already would have been fine.

He sounds hurt and about to pull out of this friendship. You might want to talk to him.

Could be his reply was a joke too.. fyl because it was about as funny as yours.

So your "friend" hates you and doesn't want you at his party. The joke is it's not a joke. Ba-dum tssss!

Yeah see here’s a lesson, it doesn’t matter what you originally intend, some shit’s just hard to tell the meaning of over text. His reaction was probs just covering for hurt feelings. Honestly dude even if you were to throw in an emoji or sign to show it’s a joke, still that’s a crazy blunt choice of words that could easily be misunderstood. Even in good humor maybe cool down the harsh nature of your verbal jokes sheesh

You need to call him and explain you were joking. Seriously don't text jokes like that inflection and facial expression matters.

I don’t think I ever hit YDI so quickly.

His reply is exactly what I would have done if I invited a "Friend" To my Birthday and that was their reply. You hurt him, badly, and the friendship (Well it was honest on his side until now), may not survive.
