Of course not silly. What does this mean?

So we live in different time zone. Whenever we text each other either he's at work or in the gym. One time I asked him if my bothering him his replied was of course not silly. What does that mean. He thinks I'm silly or he thinks I'm asking a silly question?

It's a common expression and only means that you are a good friend often spoken by college educated in England. If he's not English, perhaps he has watched British TV recently.

He thinks that you're silly for asking a silly question. He really enjoys talking to you so it probably surprised him that you would think otherwise.

Well to be fair i sometimes feel like he's bored talking to me

I don't think it's you, texting in general gets dry after while, especially if you do it consistently.

Yeah it could be.
