<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

I have has a crush on this girl for a while and have put off saying anything to her for my own reasons (we worked together). During causal conversation with a friend I mentioned her. My friend immediately went into asshole mode and started giving me shot about how I hadn't said anything and how I was just being a wuss and that I needed to say something. He has done this before so it's not that big of a deal so I didn't really care. He saw that it wasn't getting to me so he then began to threaten to message her. After a couple minutes of digging he found her on my Facebook and he sent a friend request and a message. I managed to get ahold of her and tell her to ignore the request, but didn't say anything about the message. (It was sent after the fact) to make matters worse, the message that he sent makes me look like a wuss with comments that I was "too scared" to ask her on my own etc.

The message was not directly related to her though. He said something like how I found "the love of my life" and that I was just to scared to ask. He said it in a way that suggests that it COULD be her but doesn't come out and say that he is talking about her.

Since he sent his message I haven't heard from her. However I did not send but one message since then. (That I know she saw.)

How do I adress this situation? Do I even mention his message? Do I act like it never happened and let her think that I'm a wuss and unable to say anything?
<bot>: One of my friends recently found out who my crush is and in an attempt to antagonize me has messages her and am not sure what to do about it.
