Looking at this list it took me a minute to realize that number 8 was a reference to Rose. Honestly, watching the film, I really didn't get the sense that he felt romantically inclined towards her at all. Of course, I also never got the sense that she was into him until she was suddenly kissing him.
From a narrative structure perspective, Rose makes sense as a character for Finn to bounce off of during his little adventure, but the whole romance come so far out of left field I was left feeling like she was introduced because too many white fans were upset by the idea of him and Rey and the studio didn't have the balls to go full stormpilot.
