Yeah that's bugging me too. Not only that, but Rose's previous human lovers too. Plus the way she asked Greg how she'd know if she were in love implied to me that she had no prior understanding of the concept of the romantic variety. It's not like we're still in the dark about how gems approach romance, we know from Ruby and Sapphire that they can practice monogamy. If Rose was actually just cheating on Pearl right in front of her for all those centuries that would kinda cast the character in a negative light. And it would make Pearl's unflinching devotion way more tragic. As far as I know, they never said Rose had prior human lovers, just human allies. Which makes me wonder what happened in the war that humans had to get involved... And since this was about 6,000 years ago... It would be the earliest "modern" civilizations we know of. The Egyptians, the Chinese, maybe some native tribes.
