<human>: Hello everyone

Last month I got into a relationship. Since this time, my friend Gregg has near-constantly invited me to things without inviting anyone else. For the most part, I have made up excuses and not gone but I feel guilty for shrugging him off and sometimes say yes (i.e. I have recently gone to a football game with him). My friends have all told me its strange, and my current boyfriend has raised some minor concerns with the situation. Everyone gets the vibe that Gregg really likes me despite the fact he knows I'm in a relationship.

Today I decided to tell Gregg that we should tone down the intensity of our friendship. He didn't take it too well. He accused me of letting other peoples opinions and gossip ruin our friendship. He said that it must be my bf attempting to stop us from seeing each other (which it isn't). 

I should also mention that since people told me how odd it is that Gregg keeps inviting me out, I have begun to notice that he does have a thing for me. So in a way, peoples opinions have influenced my view on the matter, but only because I'm a bit aloof when it comes to getting hints that someone likes me. 

But anyway, the messages he is sending me are very accusatory and very defensive (I'm sorry we can't be friends because people think I'm in love with you; way to go for making me feel like a creep; I've been dealing with a lot recently and you're not making it any better). I never said he was in love with me, I never said he was a creep, I just wanted to tell him that if we wanted to stay friends, maybe we shouldn't do things that are being construed as couple-y.

Have I done the wrong thing r/relationships?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
