So, here's the thing... when exactly did Rose fall in love with the Doctor?
I've been re-watching season 1 again and from what I've seen episodes 1-5 Rose didn't seem to have a crush on Nine yet. They have a connection and she likes to flirt but from Rose to the Unquiet Dead, heck even in Aliens of London/World War III Rose didn't seem she was in love yet
Let's break down episodes 1 to 5 shall we?
In Rose, Rose was very curious of the Doctor: who and why does this Northern bloke keep appearing out of nowhere and saying interesting but really strange things? So she goes and plays detective and researches the Doctor on the net and meets Clive, an okay man but who seems very off and Rose decides to go on with her life and is starting to worry about her future. Because she's still blind to seeing strange things she doesn't notice how strange Mickey is until the Doctor pops up again and beheads her boyfriend in front of her. Then she learns what the Doctor really is and she's intrigued and she's developing a taste for this adventure thing.
In the first act of the End of the World Rose is still a little unsure of this 'time travel thing' and finds the Doctor amusing especially with the way he tries to impress her. But once they hit Platform One she's overwhelmed by everything she's seeing: aliens, the end of the world, a trampoline claiming to be human, a tree flirting with the Doctor (and the Doctor flirting back) and the fact she's basically gone off with a stranger.
They fight about it and Nine's basically sulky about that fact and didn't seem to be the type to open up to another person anytime soon she offers an olive branch and he does something very amazing for her: he rigs her phone and now she can talk to Jackie even if they're billions of years away from each other.
By episode's end she's seen the world end and when the Doctor finally opens up about his past and identity she could somehow relate. When Nine asks her if she still wants to go on traveling with him knowing how dangerous his life is, Rose is unsure how to answer and sidesteps everything by asking for some chips much to Nine's amazement and delight. It's another step for their friendship.
I'm just up to that episode so, I'm still not clear when Rose realized she was not only attracted to the Doctor but in love as well.
