''Somebody needs to build your confidence up and make you proud instead off shy andd turning away and- blushing- Somebody- ought to- ought to- kiss you.'' (jpage 1283-1284, scene 7)
I think that Jim saw a bit off his old self in Laura. He had gone through a similar thing and knew what she was going through. He wanted too make her feel special and build up her confidence. He would have majorly failed if he had said that he was engaged upon first arriving. I think that he needed to tell Laura about Betty because he didn't want to get her hopes up and then crutch them and her self confidence when he didn't call. I think for a while Jim got caught up in the moment and felt special in Laura's presence too. He had to tell Laura about Betty as much as he needed to remind himself. He loved Betty and needed to be faithful to her. I think that Jim saw the need to help Laura and the only way he knew how was treating her like a normal person. I think that even the short time with Jim reminded Laura of what she could be. I think he helped her gain a bit of confidence and brought her out of her shy nature. Jim treated Laura very well also because he is a gentleman and that is what he does. He seems to be a kind and driven man that is willing to help people when they need it. I think Jim figured out early on the reason for his invitation to dinner, but he took it by the horns and ran with it. He really helped the family even if it wasn't in the way they were expecting.
