He did a lot for her, but she wouldn't even dance with him. Is he the jerk?
All right, so we got this email and she said, please keep me anonymous.
My daughter and I listen to 103.7 Kiss FM every morning and we want to submit an Am I the Jerk? That's us.
You got this.
It says, my son is a freshman.
And so even though her daughter and her listen, her son, this is about her son.
Oh, it's about the son.
Oh, okay.
My son is a freshman and he did a big homecoming proposal for a girl who is just his friend at school.

you have felt rejected if she didn't want to do a slow dance with you? I
