And your still picking the options without reading them. And I know you aren't reading them since the paraphrasing couldn't be more clear...and then it gives two more options to back out of it which is more then I could say for the other romances *cough*Liara*cough*. And again, it's your own fault because you were careless. You being careless and not reading the dialog choices does not make this a ninja. Ninjas are precise and aren't about accidentals.
I mean, come on. They removed all but two choices and neither one has any ambiguity in it.
Sorry but you've got TWO chances to back out of a relationship with Liara in ME3 if that relationship was carried over from ME1 and ME2. (In fact ME2's LOtSB DLC gives you an additional chance to break up with her and no way to romance her if you haven't before.) If you have never romanced Liara before then you have only ONE conversation choice to get you into a relationship with her. The dialog choice is: "Or more than friends." Sorry, but she doesn't ninjamance you.
I don't know how anyone could claim she does this. You'd have to blindly click crap without reading it to end up romancing her. Which is your point. I don't know how you missed this.
I confess; I did misspeak without actually playing through her romance fully.
But you did bring up an interesting point. That LIaras romance is just as much as a ninjamance as Cortezs...if you aren't reading your dialog choices. 
I specifically created saves before talking to Cortez to ensure I didn't get ninjamanced. Though I don't believe that ninjamancing really exists in any of the three games. But there is some variance between all three games and how they handle relationships. So I was always very careful the first time I played ME3. As I progressed through Steve's conversations I realized that the relationship options were so painfully obvious that you had to click wildly without reading anything to romance him.
With Mass Effect in general I'm very careful relationship wise. You have to be a little careful with romances in ME1 and ME2. I won't deny that. I wouldn't call it ninjamancing exactly, and even if you really could call it that, you still get plenty of chances to back out of any relationship. The trickiest ones are Ashley and Miranda in ME1 and ME2 respectively. Some people claim that they got ninjamanced by Liara in ME1, which I don't think is the case. It was obvious there. She will always acknowledge existing romances and tell you she won't come between you and the other party. You have to specifically tell her you aren't involved with someone else and choose to express mutual atraction to her.
The only difference between Liara and ANY other character which is romancable is that she ALWAYS has an attraction to Shepard no matter what. Other than cheating on her, there is no way to prevent her from being interested.
When I play ME1 I always trigger the romance sub-plot with Ashley, but you get several chances to back out of that one even before you get to the confrontation stage between her and Liara. I am uncertain of the precise trigger for this but I'm pretty sure it's how you respond to her comment about tinfoil mini-skirts and wanting dinner first when talking to Kaiden and Ashley on the Citadel. I like her response when I choose the option I believe triggers the romance sub-plot. I also find it entertaining to listen to how she bashes Liara and acts like an angry high school girl. Terminating the relationship is also very easy to do as you can do it virtually anytime. Especialy after she starts her Liara bashing.
So that's never an issue really. Miranda as a lock in in ME2 is the trickier one. Even then it's fairly easy to avoid if you pay close attention. But that's really the only one where you can get locked in easily as far as I know. Now ME3 of course has no confrontations and seems to end a relationship if you even try to romance more than one person. The newer one seems to take priority. I don't like this mechanic, but on the bright side all the romances and their dialog trees are easy as hell to spot and avoid. So as long as you aren't trying to be a cheating bastard
(which just backfires on you in this game) then it's not really a problem. I found it easy to stay faithful to Liara in all three games. It wasn't a problem to let her know she was the one I wanted in each game, and it was easy to avoid giving the wrong idea to anyone else.
So I'm going to go out on a limb and argue that a 5th grade reading comprehension level is sufficient to allow you to avoid romancing parties you didn't intend to romance in all three games. Ninjamancing only happens to people who skip dialog, don't read all their choices or don't pay attention to what they are doing in the game.

Or is that his way of forcing me to buy him dinner.
