She Called Her Former Bully Repulsive After He Tried Recently Asking Her Out On A Date
This 18-year-old just started college this year.
The university she attends is located outside of the province where her hometown is, so she didn’t think she’d see many of her old high school classmates in college.
But she ended up running into someone from her high school named Thomas, 18, at her university.
“To say Thomas and I had a difficult past is an understatement. He tormented my friends, especially me, during our preteen years and for the first two years of high school,” she said.
“He would always call me the most hurtful things and was your typical bully. I don’t know why he hated me, though I think he probably thought I was an easy target.”
During 11th grade, Thomas finally stopped bullying her and her group, and some of her friends said that maybe it was because he had reformed himself.
Then, during college orientation week, she saw Thomas, and he came up to her and said hi. She said hi back, and they talked for a bit. She did her best not to engage too much during the conversation.
While they were talking, she found out that he was going to be in the same program she was in, and they were going to be living in the same dorm building.
She noticed that Thomas appeared to be thrilled that he’d be able to see her around more often, and he told her, “It was nice to see a familiar face.”

Since she and Thomas were in the same program, their schedules coincided a lot, and they started talking quite a bit over the first few weeks of the semester.
“I’ve been trying to give short, polite answers, but whenever we talk, he just doesn’t shut up. I sometimes suspect that he actively seeks me out for a chat,” she explained.
A few days ago, she was in the gym on campus when she noticed that Thomas was there, too. She tried to stay out of his line of vision, keeping her AirPods in so that he hopefully wouldn’t see her, and she could act as if she hadn’t seen him, either.
“About halfway through my set, I heard him call out to me. We talked for a bit (I was annoyed at this stage as he did interrupt my workout), and then he started asking me if I needed help with any of the equipment or anything like that,” she shared.
“I declined his offer, and then he bluntly asked me out. I didn’t think I heard him properly, so I asked him to repeat what he said.”
When Thomas repeated himself, he asked her if she’d be interested in getting lunch with him sometime.
She responded and told him, “Now wouldn’t be a good time,” but he assured her that they would have fun together.
At this, she was furious.
She told Thomas that she felt he was “beyond repulsive” and “dumb” if he truly believed that she’d agree to go on a date with him.
Thomas was stunned, and before he could say anything else, she got her bag and walked out of the gym.
After the incident, she explained the story to her roommate, who felt like maybe she’d been a bit of a jerk, but at the same time, she could see why she’d gotten so mad.
Do you think she was wrong to call Thomas “repulsive”?
