Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If Pam is worried about waiting for Jim's proposal, why doesn't she propose?

Yeah, I kind of hate that, too. But I'm sure she knows he has the ring, and doesn't want to upstage him like that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's been a little game they've been playing since he said he would propose and he's been teasing her with the feints and red herrings. This time she thought that he'd orchestrated the moment, as we know he did, so she got that expecting a step and coming down hard on the floor feeling when it didn't happen.

If it becomes a whole thing between them I will be disappointed.

Somebody please explain to me how telling someone that you're going to propose to them isn't, in fact, a proposal.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

And thus, a perfect moment. Right?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Matt, it's like someone saying they'd like to see you again as opposed to actually asking for an actual date. You ASSUME they're going to ask, but they might not.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Some people need to read my GF/Wedding FAQ again [link] I can say from personal experience that saying you're going to propose only makes things worse.

Ack! My keyboard is being hijacked.....

Hi everybody! FAQwife here (Christina, actually, but anyway).

I'd like to confirm that Jon B. had only to ask: he is cute and funny and nice, and watching him wait for the perfect moment was agonizing. It was perfect because he's perfect, for me I mean. Well, maybe for you, too -- sorry.

Bye everybody!

Your friend, Mrs. Dr. FAQwife

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

lots of girls want that fairytale ceremonial thing.

I don't get the sense that that's what Pam wants, though. I think she'd be happy about it no matter how it happened (okay, except not during one of Michael's meetings). I agree that she's waiting for him because he's made a game out of it now, so she probably feels like it's going to happen sometime soon.
