Now that's out of the way...

I think (hope? Let's be optimistic and say think) he won't just be a romantic wossname. That's pretty much the only intercompanion interaction we've seen since the TV Movie, so I think it's time they tried something new.

The main exception to this is Jack and Martha in The Sound of Drums - they had a good setup, and I say that as someone who generally found Martha incredibly boring.

However...

'It's worked for the previous 40 years'? Well... except that Ben and Polly - companions of the First Doctor - were romantically involved. And, well... looking over the Doctor's female companions (from the TV series), Susan, Barbara, Vicki, Polly, Jo, and Leela all left to get married (and Victoria to get adopted) - mostly to someone they'd only met that story. Honestly, I prefer the ones who have long-term relationships, rather than 'I have exchanged five lines of dialogue with you! Let's tie the knot!' (Hi, Susan!).
