Dear {Name},
I am deeply regretful and ashamed to learn that I have unwittingly contributed to your discomfort. Please believe me when I say that I had no idea that you felt that way about me. I treasure you as a {friend/colleague}, and my mind never “went there,” and I didn’t realize how your feelings toward me were evolving. I am truly that clueless.
When we {activity}, I assumed that we were attending as {friends/colleagues}. It wasn’t until {incident} that I realized that you saw our relationship differently.
I won’t compound a difficult situation by going on and on, but please know that I am truly sorry for my role in this. I wish you only the best in the future.
Sincerely,
{Name}
