1. If you loved someone from afar, do you think you’d ever let that person know your true feelings?
2. Do you think Pam was out of line by telling Richard that Felicia was in love with him?
3. Do you have any busybody friends like Pam? If so, are they just as harmless and comical?
4. If you had a secret admirer and someone told you, would you let your admirer know you knew?
5. When Felicia told Pam how she felt about Richard, she didn’t tell her not to tell him. Pam was a blabbermouth, so she couldn’t keep it to herself. If a friend told you something personal that involved another person and didn’t tell you to keep it to yourself, would you?
6. Felicia had a great relationship with her meddlesome, fussy grandmother and was very patient with her. What are your relationships with elderly people like?
7. Regina frequently “bumped into” Richard in public. It was obvious that she was trying to have a more serious relationship with him. Richard was always nice to her, even when he didn’t want to be in her presence. Were you happy when he finally told her that they would never have a future together?
8. Felicia and Richard always looked on the bright side of things. When Felicia thought Richard was going to marry another woman, she didn’t get jealous. She was happy for him. How would you feel in the same situation?
9. If someone you were secretly in love with asked you to help them pick out an engagement ring for them to give someone else, would you?
10. It’s nice to be “just friends” with a member of the opposite sex. But do you have any male/ female friends in your life you’d like to be more than friends with?
11. For most people Christmas is a spiritual and joyful time. Was this an uplifting story to you because of when it takes place?
12. Would this story have had the same effect if it had occurred during a different holiday?
13. Richard was an excellent father. But do you think he was a little too strict with his daughters?
