Oh, yeah, I definitely wasn't blaming Rory at all for that, especially since he was clearly massively uncomfortable with it and trying to resist the idea. I quite like Rory, and I really liked all those lines.
And I also definitely agree that the show doesn't always overrely on romantic love; in some ways that's why it makes me so sad when it does. Because so much of the time, looking at the Doctor travelling with companions, it's a show in which most of the primary relationships are friendships, which I love. But every now and then it does slide into it, as, to be fair, most shows do, and many of them a lot more than this one.
The degree of self-awareness is an interesting way of looking at it. I think mostly he probably is, but, as you say, maybe not about everything.
