Where did Jim find the courage to go in for that kiss? How did he recover when he was initially rejected? We all know it wasn't exactly what he expected. Apologies for misinterpreting a friendship. Words I never want to utter. I can't bear to think of the pain I'd suffer. Or maybe I'm just dramatic and naive, and this Jim Pam phenomenon is a myth, a facade in relationships where it's necessary to remove the pith, take off the mask and be realistic
