In this context, "manifest" likely means A. You wish. It’s unlikely.
The phrase "I hope you manifested hard enough to make it happen" implies that the friend thinks the idea of the guy initiating a conversation is unlikely, suggesting a bit of sarcasm or skepticism. "Manifest" here refers to the idea of wishing or hoping for something, but the friend is implying that no amount of wishing or signaling will make it happen.
It doesn’t seem to imply "displaying enough signals" (B), but rather a more skeptical take on whether your hope (or wish) for the guy to act will actually come to fruition.
