The JK references haven't aged well but this was right after David appeared in Harry Potter 4 so that's how imma choose to remember it

I'd say this is an example of why some say the Doctor is autistic. When Martha tells him she's "not remotely interested", a neurotypical person might automatically make a mental note of that being a lie, and prompted by their mentioning of their previous partner. The Doctor does not. He's fascinated by what he doesn't understand - and sometimes I feel that includes the typical audience surrogate humans he has in his life.
But yeah. Poor Martha.
