After all, she is a product of 51st century morality That's true. But I read into those origins through her general actions/mannerisms more than I did with her later, one-on-one interactions with the Doctor. The flirting, the banter, the simple ease with which she talked to him -- that could easily be chalked up to 51st century standards.
My thing was, whether she is a very close friend or future love interest, there seemed to be something deeper in those actions which couldn't be explained by her 51st-century physicality and intensity alone. She was so earnest, so passionate about showing that she knew him, and wanting that same type of recognition in return. She didn't try to play off his clueless reaction to her as lightly as Jack might have, if he somehow found himself in a similar situation.
Sigh. And on top of that, I keep getting more and more nervous for Donna's future as a companion. All this talk of her own possible ghosting is making me antsy. *frowns*
