I think you've captured it well that Jim is a crappy boyfriend to anyone but Pam, and it was really nice use of the 'I don't know, let's break up' there.
'He'd get his own back on Dwight later' I love that this is how all the pranking starts.
Pam's to do lists are super cute and seem very Pam like
This chapter was great at capturing Jim just falling for her even more so, was very sweet to him trying but failing miserably. Nice work :)

Love the call-forward to the Katy breakup here. I always appreciate when writers embrace the fact that Jim is canonically kind of a lousy boyfriend to all women other than Pam. And him unable to make a phone call without associating it with Pam at Reception is adorable.
The details in this slow process of him getting to know her a little better are good, although really, Jim, you're only make it harder on yourself. Loved the moment of her not quite knowing how to mentally handle the Yogurt Incident.

Nice to bring in the expired yogurt moment. It's always an interesting thought experiment. How did that seemingly innocent moment between them lead to their eventual relationship? I always got the feeling that it was that moment that stuck out to Pam because someone actually paid attention to her. They didn't make fun of her, or only do something nice because they wanted something from her. A small moment to be sure, but an impactful one.
Feels like Pam has also battered down Jim's defenses a bit as well. He is doing his be to tamp down his feelings. so now he's finding a way to change at least his thought process into something that won't leave him going insane (for now). Nice job getting into his head like that.
