Flirting is a form of romance. Romance doesn’t = in love with someone. There are different types of romance.
““I mean, maybe that's open to interpretation, but I never saw it.” Plus, I doubt it, seeing as they once planned to have the Master being revealed as the Doctor's brother, so that would just be seen as very odd.”
The Master as the Doctor’s brother was never set in stone and it’s only a rumour that it was intended anyway.
As for you not seeing it....dude...it’s hardcore there. Russel T. Davies saw it to the point where he gave the Doctor and the Master a softcore phone sex conversation and had the Master put the Doctor in a softcore bondage device in the End of Time that was originally going to be a ball gag. Steven Moffat saw it to the point where he had the Doctor and the master outright kiss...twice! Paul Cornell has outright stated that he saw it, supports it and in a deleted scene from Scream of the Shalka ultimately had a scene in which it is implied the two are engaged in intercourse.
It’s not obvious if you are a kid no. But watching it when you are older it’s really goddam obvious.
“The thing you said about the Doctor changing his personality so justifies his romance with Rose, I agree, but for long time viewers that would just seem so out of place for the Doctor to do.”
Then long time viewers need to re-evaluate things.
Let’s be clear.
The Doctor REGENERATING was out of place to long time viewers in 1966. Alan Moore, author of Watchmen V for Vendetta to this day regards it as the moment the show jumped the shark.
To longtime viewers Ace have an actual character arc wherein her home life was vital to her character would’ve seemed odd because no other companion really had that before.
To longtime viewers Peter Davison’s aggressively younger and less ‘most important man in the room’ take on the Doctor would’ve been odd.
To longtime viewers Colin Baker being a douchebag early on seemed odd even though it’s not that far off of what Hartnell was like very early on when he outright tried to murder a caveman for the sake of expediency.
To longtime viewers the Doctor engaging in romance with Rose was odd even though it wasn’t even the first OR second time it’d happened. The Eighth Doctor kissed Grace twice. The Fifth Doctor was implied to have a romantic connection with someone in an early Big Finish play. Also in Big Finish Eight and Charlie were outright stated to have strong romantic feelings for one another and kissed. Eight and Bernice Summerfield were implied and pretty much confirmed to have had sex with one another.
Then you get to the Virgin New Adventures novels and Christ...there is direct references to pedophilia in the first goddam novel!
This was nothing new.
Long time fans simply grew myopic and needed/need to get over themselves.
The Doctor might be over 900 but they are both consenting adults. Rose’s backstory also established she had an affair with another older man before meeting the Doctor.

I've probably commented on this so many times, but I don't care.
I loved Rose. I loved Martha. Hell, the 11th Doctor is my favorite Doctor. But as much as I love Amy and Rory, my favorite New Who companion is still Donna.
I remember the moment when I realized how things were going to go down for her, when shit got real; and you know what I'm talking about, when she started "malfunctioning" in the control room on the TARDIS. And I was just so upset because I knew it was over for her. She spent so long building up her self-esteem, becoming so much greater than she thought she could ever be... only for it all to be taken away because she was the hero that the entire universe needed in that exact moment.
Donna Noble, the most important woman in all of creation.
I'm drunk, forgive me for crying.

Murray Gold played this himself at the Gallifrey One convention when he announced he was leaving Who. This song played as he concluded his presentation and walked off the stage, with a standing ovation throughout the room. Brings a tear to anyone's eye.

There will always be other different composers working on Doctor Who but none to me will ever match the level that Murray Gold did. So many themes he created will forever be associated to Doctor Who whenever I think of the show, this piece included.

"I'm sorry." And the look on Donna's face when Rose said that, heartbreaking
Joseph Schultz
Hell, the whole thing is heartbreaking.
She tried so hard to make a difference. She finally got there... and it all gets stripped away like a sheet off a bed.
I remember looking at my Mom and saying, "That's not fair!"

Always loved how Gold mentioned on a Doctor Who Confidential episode that he wanted to make this sounds like a Muse song. It certainly has the vibes.
