I'm not sure in what ways "The Doctor didn't fall in love with ___" and "___ wasn't good enough" are the same. Love isn't a contest. The Doctor isn't a prize. He's a person (albeit a fictional one). People don't fall in love with someone because "they're good enough" and they don't fail to love someone because they're not.
As Martha realized at the end of the series, whether or not the Doctor fell in love with her had nothing to do with whether she was "good enough" and she didn't need his love to validate her existence. She's 'brilliant' (as the Doctor said) and she's 'good' (as she said).
