As I said before, I've never been tempted to return to a former girlfriend (been there, done that). This may have something to do with what's going on.I think some of your audience really want to fast-forward to the sex scene, Uncle Jophil. The stimulating dialogue doesn't do it for them anymore, and they're reaching for the remote as well as their pants.
I WOULD be tempted to say the whole friendzone experiment hasn't worked, except for two things:
1) I don't think Jophil knows what he wants to do with these women.
2) I think if he wanted to proceed with them on a more intimate level, he could.
I think he, like myself, may not be that eager to turn his life backwards with these women, although he may not even realize it himself. Therefore he has these girls in "cold storage", basically making orbiters out of them, available in the bullpen if he should need them. If that's the intent, then perhaps the friendzone thing IS working, after all. The question is, does this have some sort of shelf life? Probably impossible to say when you're dealing with something as unpredictable as life.
