High schooler asks his girlfriend to prom using one of our favorite 'Office' moments

'Office' fans will love this.

In a shocking turn of events: Jim and Pam aren't just our personal favorite TV couple.

Texas high schooler Davis Looney went full Jim Halpert to ask his girlfriend to prom in an Office-inspired promposal.

If you recall, in Season 2 of The Office, Jim got Pam a teapot filled with a bunch of their inside jokes, and a letter revealing his true feelings for her in a fateful round of Secret Santa.

Taking inspiration from the iconic moment, Looney dressed up in the classic Jim-loose tie and white shirt, and brought a teapot to school. When Cameron saw her boyfriend, like any true Office fan, she knew exactly what was going on.

As if the hundreds of retweets weren't validation of this amazing idea enough, Pam Jenna Fischer herself gave the promposal her official approval.

"Having Jenna retweet and mention me was incredible," Looney explained to Buzzfeed. "My phone blew up with likes and mentions. I received really positive support from fans of The Office."

"I'm grateful for giving all those people a laugh and for continuing Jim and Pam's legacy," he added.

Jim and Pam, forever everyone's relationship goals.
