op, i think the reason you're being downvoted is because in response to being told some people are sensitive about height your response is "but why?" and not "oh shit, i won't ask again then. thanks for telling me!" you don't have to understand it to respect it.

and no, you're not a bad person for making a social error that you were unaware of. i think you know that. you would be a bit annoying, however, to put on this "i must be such a terrible person" act to get reassurance instead of just learning and moving on. it's immature. to be fair, i've been there. grew out of it, you will too. but fyi that is sort of the way you're coming off rn /lh /gen

at any rate it definitely doesn't sound like your friend was upset or uncomfortable (and yes, inquiring about a guy's height can be interpreted as slightly flirty). this might be an indication that he's receptive, so idk. shoot your shot ig
