Here's my opinion on Jacob's romance. Similarly to Liara's, the romance starts too fast. In Jacob's romance, before a real emotion and romantic connection can be formed. Secondly, F!Shepard's come ons are, well, very sexual. There's like 4 ways to start the Jacob romance in his second conversation, and they are all sexual (some more than others). Also the fact of the change in tone in her voice.
Jacob actually isn't bad here (in the second conversation) in that his reactions to F!Shepard coming on to him are awkward and funny in a good way.
After that, Jacob insists that they take everything slow and keep everything casual. However, if you break up with him, he is enraged. While I can understand other romance interests being pissed off if you break up with them, someone who
specifically says that they want to keep everything casual should not act like he did.
Jacob also gets majorly pissed if you try to help him with his father. He insists that he has no issues to speak off (because super anti-baggage man or something and cannot display feelings) and he'll dump you and tell you to go talk to Garrus (wat) if you try to help him. After that, he doesn't want to talk to you anymore.
His romance scene, of course, is horrible in almost everyway. There's some eyecandy for the ladies (although not all ladies will agree it's eye candy) but that's about all that could be considered "goo" about it.
Jacob's romance has at least 4 kisses, and one instance of holding hands, as well as the most explicit and direct romance scene besides Miranda (in ME2) (unless you count renegade sex with Jack, but that isn't a romance, that's just sex). As well as other exclusive things that other romances do not have. Ironic - he ends up being the least popular romance interest of all.
