I also like to read into the idea that maybe the loss of a family and wife might have been one of the reasons he originally fled Gallifrey. The loss itself could also have been what kept romance and sex at bay for him for so long. Maybe he's just now in that period of his life where he's "getting over it" and starting to see romance and love where before he couldn't bring himself to acknowledge?


I think it's just the feeling of being alone now that all the others have gone. He's more in need of an emotional attachment now that he's ever been.



I'd buy that.
