😱 The Bully's Plea: Should She Forgive and Forget? 🤔
Well, well, well... it seems like Jake the Jerk is back and looking for forgiveness! 😲 After a chance encounter at a bar, he sent our girl a lengthy email apologizing for his past actions. 📧 She graciously forgave him, but when he asked her out to dinner, she politely declined. 🙅♀️ Jake just couldn't take no for an answer and tried to guilt-trip her into going, claiming her refusal meant she hadn't truly forgiven him. 😒 Our protagonist stood her ground, suggesting he take his guilt to a therapist instead. 💪 Even her parents think she should just suck it up and have dinner with him! 🙄 Can you believe it? 😤 Let's see what the internet thinks of this situation... 🌐
