We would never beat Wes up, he does a fine job of that himself.
As to why the dinner invitation and the increased positive status with her? If we really knew this, then I guess we would not be where we are?
Perhaps she wants to relieve some guilt, wants to see if you are available, wants to be friends, wants to consider other possiblities? Truth is, no matter what we guess, think, believe, perceive, observe, we have NO idea.
All you can do is continue offer your best. And try as impossible as it is, not to dread too much the D.
