Why assume he’s gonna treat her right just because he’s quiet and shy and chubby and she’s pretty and popular? No issue with the pic but that caption is most likely made up and rather cringeworthy.
So... If a girl were to reject someone because she's not attracted to them, that would decidedly not make her a lady? That's seems flawed; leading someone on is normally more hurtful.
She may still reject him in relationship matters, but this was an invitation to a dance, not a good hard bedroom fucking. He developed a crush on a girl with a good heart (just look at her) and his good judgement was rewarded. If she refused (and she has every right to), then fine, but a lady would at least accept a harmless gesture like taking him to a school dance since he asked so gentlemanly (I think doing otherwise proves she's vain and selfish, more concerned with her reputation than other people's feelings). There doesn't look to be a single thing scummy about the guy (he actually looks slightly retarded), so it's not like he's a fedora trying to corner her into something she doesn't want.
I'll be honest, if I did something like that, I'd probably be rejected and rightly so; I'd have asked her out (not to a school dance though) because she's hot and not a bitch, he asked her out because she's a kind person.
I could be wrong in my suspicions about all that, of course.
Considering the dance can be seen as a date, saying yes would technically be leading him on if she felt otherwise. Being a lady isn't about whether you accept or decline an offer, it's about how you go about the situation. Making someone feel obliged to go on a date with someone they're not attracted to, or risk not being seen as a "lady", is rude and can be upsetting. Someone should have the right to say no to a situation without the risk of being looked down upon.
Nobody ever has a right to be looked at in a given way by other people; that impinges on their rights. She has the right to decline, I said so myself. How she's seen is up to other people.
I think she's a lady for what she did, you can disagree and that's fine.
good things all 'round
