What happened to Momo's libido?
hedgie:
I see what you're saying. But despite her job, Momo is somewhat still child-like. I think that she will eventually move to an "adult" chassis, but her current one seems to reflect her current state of emotional development.
Aziraphale:
On the other hand, take "mutual" out of there, and I think you have a plausible scenario (one of Sam's friends develops an unrequited crush on Momo). You could also have it further complicated by Sam having a crush on said friend, but that'd be pretty much a retread of the Angus/Faye/Marigold storyline.
PS: I'm sorry if the post before this came off a bit harsh. I know where you're coming from WRT "apparent" age. I'm just looking at it from the standpoint of things not always being what they seem, and what that would mean taken to its logical conclusion.

A sexual friendship, sure; but there's plenty of scope for a admiring friendship - not everything has to be about sex.

No worries. Momo is probably the most interesting AI so far, so that will lead to a lot of speculation. I see her previous chassis as "kid Momo", and the current one as her "teen" version. Maybe it's just the way I read her personality. Her innocence and just trying to figure out her "place" in the world seems like something that people at her apparent age just do; like pwhodges stated, it doesn't have to be sex, but learning the dynamics of attraction, like even just hand holding would be just exploring another dynamic of a human-dominated world. She is still new to life, in terms of experience.
I can see why you read her as an adult in a child's body. Her intellect far surpasses either her chronological or apparent age, as well as a certain maturity. She has an advanced database for social protocols, as well as all the information she needs to live as an independent being.
Is it cold in here?:
Which means that our human categories of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood are bad matches for the reality of Momo.
