are you planning on extending this? I am hoping yes!! I'd like to see pam help jim deal with everything, great job
Author's Response: Maybe. I haven't decided yet. I've attmepted to extend the story three times already and it never feels right. I'm hoping it'll happen, but my muse is being very stubborn. Thanks so much for reading!

Very nice. This seemed like a very believable scenario. I don't see how Jim could wake up with Karen in the morning, break up with her mid-day, and take Pam out to dinner and have it not be a bit difficult. I think a lot of talking is in order before the smooch-fest begins. I know I'd prefer some emotional distance from the two relationships and I think talking is the way to achieve it.

Great take on Jim's possible state of mind the day of The Job. Hmm, SB. Does that mean you are now of the opinion that Casino Night needs to be discussed?? ;-)
Author's Response:
I stick by my original opinion, that it will come up, but only in bits and pieces. If I decide to extend this story with another chapter, the conversation will center primarily around Karen, the past year, and New York. Casino Night will come up, but only as an explanation for his behavior. I still believe both have a solid understanding of what happened that night, and therefore the pain of it doesn't need to be dredged up again. Can you tell I'm getting ready to write for the PD tonight?? Thanks for the feedback! ;-)

Such a believable way the date could have gone. I read this over several times already, and I really love it. Nice job!!
Is it too much to ask for a chapter 2? :-)
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've already considered adding another chapter to this story. Ideas have been streaming into my head all weekend. Thanks again for the feedback.

I really love what you did here. You showed that Jim still loves Pam and that Pam is going to have the patience to work with Jim through all the events of the past year. It isn't going to be all neat and tied up in a bow, but they will end up together. That was realistic and lovely!
Author's Response:
Thanks sed, I'm glad you liked it. JAM is messy and we've been all too aware of that for the last few years. The only thing that keeps me hanging on are the little moments that remind us they love each other and will find their way back to each other.

I really liked this take, especially the line about Jim begging his mind to go along with his heart. Just really well-said and realistic, IMO. I do love so many of these fluffy, fun first date fics, but I lreally ike seeing a conflicted Jim here, because I simply can't believe he wouldn't be conflicted. Great job!
Author's Response:
Thank you! I was a little nervous about posting an angsty first date fanfic, but it seems to be hitting a positive nerve. I'd love to see a fluffy first date, but Jim is just too much of a mess for that to happen, IMHO. Thanks again for the feedback.

SB, This is a fantastic take on the first date, or non-first date. I think it's very Pam Beesly (FNB or not) of her to be patient and to gently remind Jim that they have time and to understand that right now he may need a friend more than anything.
Author's Response: Thanks BJB! I honestly think this is where Season 4 is headed. I love JAM, but I think they need a little time to find one another. If it's going to work, patience is a must.

Loved it. Seemed very realistic to me. I loved that Pam can read him like a book.

Oh, I like this. It's kinda perfect and a little of what I think would actually happen on the date.
