What annoyed me about this episode is that it contained lazy writing crutch #1, people being interrupted just as they're about to say something interesting so as to save the interesting bit for later. And also #2, the unwillingess to share information for no reason other than to satisfy plot requirements. Like, is there any actual reason for Clara to not just come out and say she's dating Pink? Of course there isn't, but Moffat wants to save it for The Finale to package it with a Shocking Revelation. I hope Pink just joins as a companion in like two episodes and we'll be done with this angle.

It's because she's still romantically interested in the Doctor and he is in her. She's being shady about the date to leave the door open for her and the Doctor. He makes remarks about her looks because he's teasing her for attention. The script makes this a lot more clear.

Even if any of this were true, she does actually say she's dating, just not who with. Which was my actual problem. Oh no, I can't possibly tell the doctor that I know and in fact see this man every day at work, there's no way that would be relevant information he should know?
