Like Aislinn, I usually go with the "It was a battlefield thing" if I haven't picked up Liara yet. Otherwise, I end up going with the choice of telling him my personal affairs aren't his business after we pick up and I start talking to Liara.
I hate to sound mean to him about it, but there really is never any point in the conversations before hand when I've felt that I was expressing any kind of romantic interest in him (which, to sound like a broken record, is why I find the "need time to process" line annoying, as it seems to come out of nowhere).
I and both of my current femSheps really do like Kaidan. And Ash for that matter. Is it strange that even now, after so many play-throughs, the decision on Virmire is still heart-wrenching, and I'm still not sure who I will chose for my 'canon' play-through for either character?
(I'm really considering metagaming that and making two different 'canon' saves for each femShep; multiverse ftw

)
[edit]
To clarify briefly, though I go with "battlefield thing" in that situation, I don't like that option, because from both Athene's and Artemis's points of view, there was no "it" to even speak of being a battlefield thing, even though Kaidan somehow interpreted her friendly conversation as romantic come-ons.

But, I choose that anyway, because I think it's the only nice option at that point of the conversation if you find yourself there.
