Hi Reddit, need some advice.

About 4 or so months ago, there were two positions that opened up at a company that I was interested in applying for. As someone who had just finished a contracted position, I was looking to get a full time, salaried job, and just have some stability. I really wanted to work for this company, and it turns out, I have a friend (Sam) that I see once a week for basketball who has worked there for over 5 years now. So naturally, I wanted him to refer me. 

A few months and some interviews later, I got the job. I was thanking Sam, was on cloud 9, and everything was great. Today, I was talking to my boss about how I was fortunate to get a referral from Sam. Boss seemed confused and told me how I was never referred, and that I just happened to get hired naturally among a huge list of applicants. 

I don't want to start snooping around and get fired, but I can't help but feel hurt. A guy who said he would refer me turns out did not refer me. I was just fortunate enough to get a job. Not sure if I should confront him?
<bot>: I thought my friend had referred me for a job. Found out a few months after working there I was never referred. Got fortunate to just be selected.
