Was I wrong to do this? Be honest.

so I'm struggling with a situation I got into. I was laid off October of last year and at the time I interviewed with a really solid company in the SaaS space that I put a lot of effort into. it didn't end up working out because they had to relax hiring. understandable. 

I built a phenominal (or at least I thought) relationship with the hiring manager. she was willing to refer me to other companies she had friends at. she said she sparingly gives that out. I ended up telling her it was not necessary because I was deep in other processes and it would be a waste of their time and I didn't want to make her look bad by committing to a process that I knew I couldn't go through (he agreed). 

she told me to follow up in Q3 if I was either unhappy at my new company or if I had not found work (I did find a job). and I would be considered first in line for their next opening. 

about 5 months later I had a friend that applied to that same  company - she had an interview was in a tough bind and I promised I would help. I reached out to the hiring manager told her things were going well and I had a friend with similar experience as me going through a process (not the same job) and wanted to put her on their radar. there was typing for a bit and then left on read no response. I didn't ask any favors or anything just a courtesy for my friend. 

okayyyy. I reached out a few months later because my situation had changed and said "hey I hope I didn't make you feel uncomfortable with my ask that certainly wasn't my intention I promised a friend I would help her" and asked if it made sense for us to sync up to talk opportunities. 

left on read again. did I do anything wrong? hiring manager said that if I needed help or wanted to talk I could text / call anytime. was I wrong for asking that? or is she just a pos? 

regularly I would not give a shit. but I really loved the company and other leaders. what would you all do?
