A human mind would have a hard time grasping that concept, let alone understand it. Agreed. He's just too confoozing for our poor little ape brains. ;) But seriously, even if he wasn't a lord of time and space, 900 years is a big age gape. He's just on a different level than everyone, and he couldn't be understood the way you need to be for a real relationship.
Not to mention that 'watching the love of your life grow old and die' bit. That's pretty sucky, too.
I see the Doctor/Jack potential, but I still don't really ship it. Again, I just don't see Jack on the Doctor's mental level, it's just that whole lord of spacetime thing. Hard to match.
Girl In The Fireplace broke my heart. Reinette (IMHO) totally pwns Rose any day. I don't know why, really. I think I better be quiet about that before the Army Of Rose Lovers hunt me down and skin me. :( Anyway, I think it was just the connection the Doctor found with her so quickly. I totally agree with you about the platonic love thing. He needs to be able to find that connection, and a single relationship would hinder that.
I don't mind unrequited love FOR the Doctor actually. I'm an angst glutton that way. ;) So Martha's love for him didn't really bother me in theory, it was just overdone and shoved down our throats like woah.
Oh, and that goes for Jack, too. I like Jack loving the Doctor more than the Doctor loves him... ohh I'm terrible heehee XD
