Yes, the idea that one can be morally obligated to return a another's love is just plain ridiculous. You're obligated to treat people with common decency (which the Doctor did towards Martha--he was constantly thanking her) but you are not obligated to love someone. Romantic love either happens or it doesn't; it's not something you can (or should) force.
