I think y'all are thinking about this one too hard.™
Tova:
It's What We Do Here.™

Oh dear, I do think that Amanda and Evie have entered the 'Faybles Squee' zone! Seriously, I can see how they could interpret this as Faye talking about how she's gone about romancing Bubbles; she isn't but I could see how they could interpret it that way. I'm pretty sure that there was zero intent to romance Bubbles on Faye's part; Bubbles seems to have fallen in love with her anyway.
I think that Faye, in her own way, has hit the nail on the head. In various ways, Bubbles has suffered a lot of abuse in her life and that has left behavioural and emotional scars. When you're dealing with people like that, you have to give them time and space to open up in their own way and on their own terms so that they don't feel threatened anymore.
What am I expecting next week? I'm thinking that Faye will get annoyed with her two new shippers and go back home to complain to Bubbles about how ridiculous their entire viewpoint is. It's at that point that she realises that maybe it isn't ridiculous, at least on Bubbles' part (possibly just by a judicious use of some flashbacks) and she'll then have to figure out what she feels and what to do about it.

I suspect that if that ship were ever to set sail, Momo would first need to switch to a chassis that doesn't look like a young teenager. Also, as far as character goes, she'd have to undergo some develop a bit, IMO.

It has been used before in the forums (including a post by myself IIRC) to describe (mostly May's) the exploration of sexuality between robots and humans, so I think it's appropriate.

There might be laws preventing the installation of specific options in robots that could be taken for a human teenager (or younger). There was a bit in Swedish newspapers a while ago about realistic sex-dolls of younger girls being seized by customs because they were (quoting from memory) "enabling the production of child porn".
That said, Momo and Sven would be interesting to see how that works out: The innocent robot and the womaniser. I don't think it will happen though, so far we've only seen Momo (and May) show any interest in that ship and nothing at all even remotely romantic from Sven towards Momo.
