grimorieSo, 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.

In the Unquiet Dead Rose is beginning to realize the full potential of time travel and how exciting it could be, the wonder of it: 'You can go back and see days that are dead and gone and a hundred thousand sunsets ago... no wonder you never stay still..'
She's walking through Cardiff in 1869, in Christmas and she's met Charles Dickens and then she gets kidnapped and zombies are attempting to kill her. When the Doctor rescues her, she's mostly relieved and by the time they're locked in that cellar with thezombies Gelth trying to kill them Rose makes it clear that she doesn't blame Nine for being in that situation, it was her choice to come and when Nine expresses that he's so glad to have met her, she's surprised but feels the same way. He's opened a whole life for her she never knew possible.
Aliens of London and World War III come along and things have gone stranger, apparently she's been missing for a year and somehow people think she and Nine were a couple. In her mind she's flirted with the Doctor, yeah but it was just that and then that weird moment in 10 Downing Street happens.
Rose has made clear that she didn't mind dying if it'll help everyone but what the Doctor said just stuns her. She hasn't thought of it that way, not really, and here he goes saying something like that. It could take any girl's breath away. Impractical as it was at that time. Fortunately Harriet Jones takes over and orders the Doctor to go on with it and this time Rose chooses to do something about it. By episode's end she's recovering from that adventure with Jackie and considering what to do with the traveling thing with the Doctor because she couldn't bear letting Jackie go through with it again but its too late for her. She's been bitten by the bug. And the Doctor wasn't helping any with his very blatant manipulation he knows which buttons to push and he doesn't have any scruples about using it.
Rose rationalizes her leaving Jackie by thinking of it as a sort of backpacking trip but not across Europe, across time and space. Rose throws her pack to the Doctor and tells him that she's 'signed-up' (on a side note, the Doctor's woeful, surprised look makes me laugh everytime) and tries to invite Mickey. Of course Mickey's not going to go at this time, not yet at least.

DOCTOR
Do you think I don't know that? Because this is my life, Jackie, it's not fun, it's not smart, it's just standing up and making a decision because nobody else will.
ROSE [softly]
Then what're you waiting for?
[The Doctor looks up at her again]
DOCTOR
I could save the world but lose you.
