I was over at the TWoP Doctor Who forum having a peek at the US reactions to "Girl in the Fireplace" (but only a peek, I swear), and I came across this piece of brilliance by a commenter called jthomas666:
To which all I can say is, DUDE. I never thought of it that way before. But he's absolutely right.

I kept asking myself--why did the Doctor tell Reinette to go pack a bag, particularly given the time dilation that occurs when he returns to the ship.
Then it hit me. That's why the Doctor can't allow himself to fall in love. When he does, he forgets that he's immortal, and we aren't.
