Did I ruin my friend's faith in humanity?

I started working out with a friend I have known for a few years. We were never good friends, and as a matter of fact he has always been elusive so I never considered even making him a better friend. I moved to another side of town and said I didn’t want to work out with him up there anymore due to the amount of time it would take to get there every day. He then told me that I was the first friend he’s had that he actually liked hanging out with, which he didn’t think was possible.

I feel terrible. Did I ruin his faith in mankind because I didn’t feel like driving 30 minutes both ways to go to the gym?

And if so, am I responsible? I have many great friends…and I have always believed in helping my fellow man when they are down in the dumps.

Or could this just be a ploy to get me to drive out there every day?
