8 Times Jim and Pam Restored Our Faith In Relationships
Tumblr.com

Jim and Pam have been relationship goals from day one. They're one of the most adorable couples to ever grace our television screens. From Jim's perseverance in waiting for Pam, to his speech at the rehearsal dinner, to any and everything he's ever done, Jim has been every girl's dream man; and we've all been so, so envious of Pam for snagging his heart. They've shown us that long distance relationships can work, that no couple can have too much pride to go to counseling and that you should set out to marry your best friend. Here are some of the best moments in Jim and Pam's relationship.

1. Obviously, when Jim finally tells Pam how he feels


This was a big step for Jim, being that Pam was still with Roy and that telling someone you’re in love with them has to be completely nerve-wracking in itself.

2. Then, when Pam calls off the wedding with Roy

It was obvious from day one that these two were totally in love, and when it looked like Pam was really going to go through with the wedding, she called it off and restored our faith in Jam.

3. When they prove to everyone that you can make a long distance relationship work


Pam goes off to art school in New York, and Jim stays in Scranton. They have their doubts about the distance and they reassure each other that they’ll be able to make it. They spend an entire day on the phone via Bluetooth and prove to the world that if you really want it, the distance can work.

4. When Jim reassures Pam that she isn’t only enough for him, that she’s everything for him


In season 9, Jim and Pam go through a rough patch in their marriage, and Pam begins to feel like she is not enough for Jim. In total Jim Halpert super-romantic-make-you-bawl-your-eyes-our fashion, he asks the film crew to compile a DVD of all of their greatest moments together and gives it to Pam along with the note he had written to give to her explaining how he felt about her while she was still with Roy.

5. When Jim proposed at a gas station in the middle of a rainstorm


He didn’t go all out for the proposal, which makes it all the better. It shows the simplicity of their relationship, that they’re just two plain people who love each other very, very much.

6. When they go to marriage counseling


This shows that no one is too big for counseling. It showed viewers that no relationship is perfect, and that every couple has their weaknesses and things they need to work on.

7. When Jim admits to Karen that he still has feelings for Pam


This was another big step for Jim, admitting to his current girlfriend that he still has feelings for a girl he claimed to have moved on from. At this point in the series, Jim and Pam were barely even on speaking terms; they were feigning happiness for each other in Jim’s new relationship and Pam’s return to single life. It was clear to viewers that feigning this happiness was killing both of them. When Karen just comes out and asks if Jim still has feelings for Pam and he says yes, viewers everywhere cheered with joy because this meant that they were finally going to get what they always wanted.

8. When Jim gives Pam the teapot


This teapot represents everything Jim and Pam are. At this point they were still just friends, but this pot is the ultimate sign of everything they represent. This pot is filled with little inside jokes and various memories they’ve made through their friendship. When he finally gives it to her and he sees how happy she is, we see that infamous Jim Halpert grin and it shows how much he truly loves her.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
