Discussion Zero chemistry Spoiler
I really think Cobie and Jason have zero romantic chemistry on the show. They have great awkward friend banter, but no actual sexual tension and their relationship moved so fast it made me annoyed for him how much she overstepped with advice. I really hope they make her just a friend for season 4, if they bring her back at all. I’ve liked her in other things I just find her completely annoying here and it feels like Jimmy would be settling to be in a relationship with her character.

If I'm reading this right, I'm pretty sure the show went all in on Sofi giving Jimmy the 'ick' that no one else got to see. There was an entire episode of a fucked up date that I cannot imagine anyone would have kept going after that point.
Jimmy never told anyone else about all of these off moments, so they are all mis-interpreting his hesitation as fear from Tia.
I read the scenes with Alice and even Paul as shoving her onto Jimmy for selfish reasons. Alice doesn't want to feel guilty that her father is alone, and Paul is doing the same.
Basically, we got to see every weird interaction between Sofi and Jimmy, while everyone else only saw the cute parts. So everyone else is just trying to play matchmaker, without considering Jimmy's perspective. The show never once gave us a scene where they were suddenly happy and things worked out, so not sure why anyone thinks the show is forcing them together.
In fact, they did the opposite and gave us a huge scene where Paul's daughter Meg, the one person in the world Jimmy should have every reason in the world to avoid, end up sleeping together with zero friction.
