My personal opinion on the whole "love at first sight" complaint of Story for Steven:

Love is like a fire. Fires do not spontaneously occur. They need to be tended to an nurtured to grow, and constantly provided fuel to survive.

What starts a fire, however?

It's a spark that lands on the right wood to make a roaring flame. Sparks are instantaneous, and that's what describes Greg's sudden attraction to Rose. They were the right type of wood, and a spark erupted to create their burning love. It doesn't matter that much if it exists or not. It matters that explaining how Greg met Rose was the main point of the episode. And this story could simply be explained in one minute. Greg met Rose at his concert, they had some conversation, he immediately loved her, she immediately loved him, end of story. It's both much too short and too cliché to deserve its own episode.
