I'm not sure if that's textual support for romance, but I totally see why you might. My reading is that Brienne kind of short-circuits Jaime's brain. She's a woman... but she can fight as well as he can. She hates him... but she helped him. She's his enemy... but he likes and respects her. She's not a knight... but she's more of a knight than he is.

Jaime Lannister (as we initially meet him) has the face of a god, the right hand of a samurai, and the brain of a reality TV celebutante. It can do bitchy remarks and that's about all.

He feels SOMETHING for Brienne, but he doesn't know what, and he doesn't know how to find out what. His crummy mental OS may have come with some self-diagnostic programs, but he doesn't know where they are or how to run them, because he's never used them in his life.

Yes, I think you hit the nail on the head. Sansa isn't the only character to buy into the whole perfect knight ideal. That's the role Jaime was supposed to play... only of course we know it didn't turn out that way. Then he meets Brienne, who doesn't look the picture of the perfect knight (not the way Jaime does, or Loras does, for example) but she embodies it with her behavior and her deeds. It really throws him for a loop, far more so because she's a woman.

I can see why, in the GoT universe, respect for a woman looks a lot like love. It often works that way IRL, too. But I'm not necessarily convinced that's what's going on between Jaime and Brienne.

But I think it won't only look that way to 3rd parties, but maybe themselves, too. So when series-cersei confronted Brienne about it and Brienne didn't flat out deny that she loved Jaime, I think that doesn't necessarily mean they're omgmeanttobeloveatfirstsight!! It's just that whatever their relationship, there is something to it that *feels* like romance, that she can't deny, and he couldn't, either.
