I think we've already established that Anders lies awake aching for you for over ten years if you don't romance him.
Which is rather sad, in my opinion. I only flirted with him once in this playthrough and he's snarling at Fenris like a...well, like a wild dog.
I think Hawke is just incredibly irresistible. That, or Anders is really lonely. 
Yeah, like when did Anders become such a needy git? It's kinda ridiculous because he urges you not to start a relationship with him but spends the rest of the game whining that you didn't. Sorry Robes. You can't have your cake and blow it up too.
I think he's distanced himself from everyone he cares about since Justice came along...so he naturally just attaches himself to the first person who shows understanding for his situation, and shows him kindness. Or in the rivalry case, perhaps it's the first person who's honest with him (as far as Justice goes)?
And plus, it's not like he's got a ton of friends he hangs around with all day, so I imagine during those ten years he and Hawke spend a lot of time together.
Poor Anders.

I feel bad for him. And I seriously think that whole, "I'LL ONLY HURT YOU" bit is so he can feel like he's warned you when he eventually jumps your bones. Since he basically throws himself at you after "Tranquility"...male or female.
