Considering that girl was romantically pursuing you and these two are friends, I don't find these comparable situations. He was extending his sympathy towards a young lady who could get hurt in the crossfire, and YOU won't even be honest about the relationship you want from him, so he doesnt understand how to accommodate you in a way that seems reasonable.
The stretched out logic of "you can't help a friend in need because of a fu** buddy" is insane
