I'm interested to see where this goes. I'm a guy that plays the guitar, and sometimes, the guitar can get you a lot of attention. I really enjoyed reading the first chapter, but I have two concerns. 1. I don't think Jim would say "Oh...well..um" as much as he did. He always seems to be quick on his toes, but you never know. Maybe he gained his self-confidence later in life. 2. I read in the description that this story gets steamy. I really don't like smut that much, but if that's where you want to take the story, that's ok. Just letting you know what I'm thinking. Anyways, I think the story is off to a great start, and I'll be checking in for updates. Nice work! :)

Perhaps it is the guitar that gives him more self-confidence?? No, I don't know. I've just always pictured Jim as one of those guys that became increasingly more suave as he aged (I mean, given the yearbook picture and all ;) Haha)
I usually put the "steamy" in the description irregardless because one way or another that's always where my mind takes me. I have a dirty mind sometimes...so far though, there isn't any smut written in the immediate future. I can't make promises for later though (hence the warning in the story descriptions).
And the bits about the girls flocking to male guitar player definitely comes from my experience in college. I swear, every single guy I ever had a thing for played some kind of guitar and as a freshman I always saw the girls flocking to the guys who played an instrument. :) Haha
Thanks for your comment!

I kind of hate guys who play guitar, but only because it makes me love them more!
Great beginning!

The thing that makes this story wonderful is that John Krasinski does play guitar, so theoretically, Jim could play... yeah, he's right, it's the best way to get girls. i'm looking forward to seeing where you go with this!
Author's Response: The fact that John Krasinski plays guitar did play a factor in the decision to write this. :) Haha. I think that I would just swoon with glee if I ever saw Jim play the guitar on The Office.
