Although this has some futuristic elements, this is really a romcom short. The ending is amusing, but feels that it needs a follow-up, although I think it could make a fun short.  
A lot of the dialogue is ... that term.. 'on the nose'.   "This damn philophobia is destroying my life." "I'm devastated, yesterday Jim asked me if I was in love with him." Two lines of dialogue are completely redundant as we know this from the information already given. In fact,  a lot of the dialogue is bulky and could do with some trimming, especially the clinic office scene.


pg. 1. Deep feeling for you - should be 'deep feelings'.
