Hello everybody. I have a friend who I've known for maybe 3 years, I go to his house a lot and we play ps4 and xbox1 sometimes, but mostly we talk about girls. Anyways yesterday I was at his house and he was telling me how jealous he was of how I started dating a girl named Sue(Fake name). I went on to tell him "You know Brad(fake name), you could probably date girls as hot as the ones I date if you weren't so fat. I said it in a joking way but deep down I was hoping he got the message, to lose some weight. He's 5'9" and around 230lbs. He looked at me and said "wow, really dude?". Then he says he's tired and asks me to leave, so I go home and today I called him to hang out and he didn't pick up, and his mom said he left the house in the morning and hasn't come back. Maybe he went to get a gym membership LOL just kidding, but how can I make things right and also motivate him to lose weight?

Providing you both have mobile phones I'd text him as he's obviously avoiding your calls but will read the text out of curiosity or anger. Just say something along the lines of: I'm sorry, I didn't mean it as it came out. I was focusing on the game and wasn't concentrating on what we were talking about. I meant to say that you're nice guy and girls like you. But I feel that you're somewhat reserved and not confident around girls which is stopping you from getting close to them. I may have incorrectly attributed that to your weight and again I'm sorry if I am wrong in thinking that but I really can't see any other reason why you're not putting yourself out there. Something like that anyway.
