Yeah, this.

She's 16, with all the strong feelings that come with that age, and Mako and Bolin are probably the first kids of her age (of any gender) that she's ever met. There's no way she's not going to have a strong reaction to that.

Much as I hate the romance subplot (and I'm afraid I do) I can understand why it would come up so quickly. I'm just hoping it stays down for a bit now.

Yep! I mean, there weren't really any other kids where she lived, and the oldest of Tenzin's children is still 6 years younger then she is.

I mean, I don'thate some of the romance subplots (I personally think that Asami and Mako were adorable), episode five was a bit annoying, and I hope that it happening then will prevent it from happening for the rest of the series.

Agreed. I hope they wrote it in that quickly to get all the sexual tension/love triangle things out of the way and just focus on the plot. I'm not too fond on the overfocus on the romance things, as much as it makes sense for Korra and the others perhaps.

Not all 16 year olds have strong sexual or romantic feelings. Why couldn't she have a strong platonic reaction along the "omg friends!" sort instead of automatically going for the sexual/romantic subplot?

Because at the mass level, that's what the viewers want. I mean, seriously, look at all the shipping insanity of fandom, especially on Tumblr - they don't give a fuck about the plot or politics or any of that. They only care about the romance.

Under these rather unfortunate circumstances, I'm actually quite happy with the way they did it - yes, it was really awkward, but they basically got most of the romance out of the way in like an episode and a half, and can now go back focusing on the plot.
