Oh, Michael. Vulnerable as a child. One with very poor judgement. And a lot of chest hair. No matter - I feel his pain here.

Okay, I'm going to buzz your review count, but I think each of these deserves a comment. :-)
I love this line: she understood the intricacies of his relationship with Jan - It made me wonder if he'd talked about Jan so much Carol thought there was something between them, or thought Michael was in love with Jan and didn't know it, or what. I think Carol may have gotten Michael, but from this I'd say that Michael didn't get Carol, much less himself.
Author's Response: Maybe this is due to my new puppy, but Michael reminds me of an overexuberant pup. He has Carol and he licks her face and hangs around begging to be petted until finally she just yells at him to go lay down! I think he felt that Carol got him, but as you say, he sure didn't get her!

"It was suddenly crystal clear that he should have waited for number ten." - poor, poor Michael. Great line!
Author's Response: Thanks kaystar! He may be down, but Michael never loses hope.

"she had agreed to a second date, and she understood the intricacies of his relationship with Jan" - Holy crap, this was perfect, perfect, perfect. They all are, but this.. damn.
Author's Response: Thanks Lano! Poor sad, lonely Michael. So close to love and yet....not.

Separately or together I just love them all.
Even if they make me sad with the loneliness. :(
Author's Response:
Maybe I'm feeling a little melancholy about the holiday. Or being at work when the office is so empty. Or the fact that we have to wait another week for a new episode.
In any case, thanks so much for your kind words xoxoxo! Makes it hard for me to nag you about NaNo...

Aw. It's that pathos in Michael - which is so present here - that makes him so empathetic, not just a buffoon. All that in under 100 words...like magic.
Author's Response: Totally agreed, Colette. He's so tragic in his overwhelming need to be loved. The buffoonery is just a symptom of the disease, so to speak!

Oh Michael. Just go ahead an break my heart why don't you. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry and this one, which I guess means you got the characterization down pretty well! Write more of these!!
Author's Response: Okay! I started to write a longer fic about the 9 dates but it's so much easier to do 100 words and Michael makes me just as sad. Thanks pennylane ;)
