The love at first sight that Garnet could be referring is... infatuation. It makes sense by context, Jamie's infatuation at first sight on Garnet, in Love Letters. Where Jamie went through some efforts of expressing his thing for Garnet, through love letters, date, and overly exaggerated romance junk just for the sake of  it. Its not what romance is all about, its not true love.love takes time, love takes work.

Did Ruby and Sapphire went through that? No. Was there love at first sight between them? Yes! Technically, or more correctly, love at first sight of each other's eyes. Romance like Garnet currently share, it have to begin at some point. And those moments they share, connverse-ations they blushed on, feelings of love that are something entirely new to them. Its what early and innocent romance is all about.

Heck yeah, theres even "love at first talk and touch" between Rose and Greg. Nothing comcrete or outright, but guess what happened in We Need to Talk, romance! Although, they rushed on their relationship but it was resolved after that, spending so much time together, love they share, and gave birth to the embodiment of their love, Steven, a fusion of love. No wonder Garnet strongly supports their relationship, since she helped Greg with his problems of fusing with Rose. Needless to say, it worked.

Oh, not to mention Steven and Connie... Steven hinting a crush on Connie from the start, but most likely doesnt know how to express it or just unaware of.it.After being fast friends, their bond developed, these two children starts to feel something for each other. Nothing concrete, nothing outright, just a feelbased romance, prooerly justified for two children who are already friends. But then, these feelings got stronger, intense enough to activate a delicate gem ability, fusion. Accidental fusion of love? Sounds familiar... Garnet supports them, subtly on their innocent romance, anyways, telling the gems not to mess with their funky flow, sharing a word of wisdom on them, from her exprerience, getting them a slow dance, a friendly moment suddenly became something else... Her hopes of them to finally realize it, for they reminds her of what she made of.

Three aforementioned couples. All fusion of loves. With their unique ways, but sharing something in common... a love that takes time and takes work.

Simply put, outright romance sucks and too awkward and too cliche.
