Significant choices regarding your relationship with the girls are permanent. Choosing friendship will remain that way until the end of the game otherwise would be the point of choosing for something more if you can obtain it later while being friends. It wouldn't make sense.

Not necessarily.
Choices determine which scenes you will see in a playthrough.
(If implemented) choosing friendship first and a relationship later means that you just miss some early scenes with your LI, but you get the option to get other scenes instead.

In real life relations often depend on options and circumstances, similar to atoms and molecules. People do not break up good relations to connect to a new partner unless the new connection is much better. Two single persons are more likely to try a connection than a single person and a bound person in a good relationship.
In a game it is possible that NPCs form temporary couples and later split and the mc so has more than one option to make a move on an LI. (This really depends on the creativity of the writer/dev.)

A situation where Josy and Maya form a couple without mc, Sage connects with Chad again, Jill dates Tybalt and Bella meets her husband would be considered as bad ending unless the mc has enough choices left (Camila, Riona, Sarah, Mel, ...) to keep the game interesting until new options occur.

MC can be with Jade in 4 different states at the end of Ep.4.
1. Absolute CHICKs who rejected her from the beginning (footjob in class), fo*ls.
2. MC do not make a move on her (after finishing class with Karen Rebeca Johnson).
3. MC make a move on her (after class with Karen Rebeca Johnson), but he ditch her.
4. MC make a move on her (after finishing class with Karen Rebeca Johnson) and enjoy the ride until the end.

1 and 3 case are definitely out of the game, but what about 2 case?

Well, there are going to have to be consequences of saying you have an interest in her and then not turning up. She's hardly likely to forgive and forget so easily.
The first consequence is that mc misses the scene with her.
It really depends on how convincing and charming mc is (and how much Jade needs a F..k) if he gets another chance with her or not.
(Second chance is ok, but third chance probably only if he can prove that it wasn't his fault.)

Have to say i don't believe there will be another change with Jade if the protagonist didn't show up at the meeting spot. That was pretty much the choice to have a affair or not with her.

No, it's just common sense that you have that chance with Jade and don't show up she's taking a hell of a risk just for the MC being a no show she has to deal with Burke not giving her attention and now the MC thinks he can just ditch, or in your world does she forgive right away and forget? Because that ain't going to end well.
Obviously she won't be pleased about it and it might not be easy to get another shot, but making an excuse that he got caught up in an inescapable pledge activity at the DIK mansion would be believable, plus the chaos caused by the Cathy picture also provides a convenient excuse.

It's another thing that feels like it's ripped right out of the college comedies that DPC has based this game on, where a character is supposed to meet up with a hot girl but gets caught up at a party and then he goes grovelling to her and she gives him another shot. It wouldn't be true, but it seems plausible that it could work.

If Bella doesn't like you due to the choices you made do you think she'll suddenly changer her mind for whatever reason in the future or if you reject Sage she'll still want to be FWB with you later on in the story?

Having 2 options yet being able to obtain both would be both a waste of time and coding for the dev nor would it be a VN with meaningful choices. You want Maya or Josy solo? You're gonna have to suck it up and be with them and hope a solo route will open up for them.

MC's Bio: "I told Maya and Josy I only wanted to remain friends"

Later

MC's Bio: "Maya and Josy broke up and I decided to make a move on Maya"

:WaitWhat:

Doesn't make much sense doesn't it?
Who says the MC will the be one to try something with them as friends? The prevailing theory around here is that the friend choice just locks you out of a threesome path, but that M and/or J might gravitate back to the MC if their relationship continues to struggle.

I'm hardly the first person to say this and it's a fairly persistent theory. Even our very own Mormont believes so.

I think some people forget that it's only the end of season 1 and it's more than likely somewhere down the line that Maya and Josy will become separate at some point it will only be fair to both fanbases.

No, choosing to stay friends prevents you from romancing M&J. Allow me to make it very simple to understand

Try for something more = Romance with both or either Maya & Josy

Choose to stay friends = NO romance with EITHER Maya or Josy for the rest of the game. (You reject them as the variable states)

When you say "variable" are you talking about a line hidden in the code that explicitly states this is it closed for good, or do you just mean the choice presented in the game?

Yes but I'm meaning on the romance route that could happen nothing will happen on friends route apart from maybe helping them out now and again.
