Darnell read it the wrong way yes, but that's not to say he's using it as an excuse to feel sorry for himself. You're right there's nothing wrong in flirting, as long as you don't go overboard. At the same time there's nothing wrong with feeling bummed out when you realise someone who you thought liked you doesn't and was only using you. We are all human after all.

To answer question, yes they would.
