I have recently tried romancing Fenris as a female Hawk and I am in chapter 2 (nearly through it actually), and yet no matter how much I try to flirt with Fenris, it goes no where.
I know it has something to do with him being very close to full Rivalry (about halfway full, maybe a little over half), so I am thinking about restarting chapter 2 to redo it. His Rivarly bar was pretty much in the same spot at the beginning because I wasn't sure if I was going to go for it by then, so I am wondering if there is any way to redeem those Friendship points and have enought to get Fenris's romance going, because I really do not want to start over completely (after nearly 15 hours) and hate the thought of Hawk not going through with Fenris.
I just finished 'A Bitter Pill" and got nothing but an argument that turned into Rivalry points (flirting and trying to be nice throughout the mission, with no chance to flirst at Hawk's Mansion afterwards) and figured it was too late for Fenris, but if anyone can let me know anything it would be appreciated. Google and wiki's are not much help for my particular conundrum.
Too late for Fenris?

I think you just blew it then.
*some mild spoilers* [Sorry but it's the only way I know to answer the question]
The key convo to Romance Fenris happens at your mansion just after Bitter Pill. If your Rivalry or Friendship is high enough at that point (50% either way), you will get a "love" interrupt [I think it's "Don't Go" or something like it] with the heart.
You need to take this option to Romance Fenris (you will get the appropriate cut scene). At the end you may think like you've failed, but look closely at Fenris' armor the next time. If you see a red 'sash' around his wrist, you are now Romancing Fenris.
I hope this helps.

Actually, that isn't entirely accurate. **SPOILERS** (just as Ian was so kind ot point out, I feel I should as well). There are a few tricks to romancing Fenris, and without spoiling too much, here are a few things to consider.
1) to play it safe, do NOT try and romance any other companion. The truth is, you CAN in fact romance others, and still end up with him. But, he is tricky, and if certain steps are not taken, the other romances you "tried" out, will cause his romance to fail. So until you are ready to spoil yourself, play it safe and don't romance any other companion. (and yes, that especially includes any "fling" you might have with Isabella...she can be a true deal breaker...lol!)
2) Make sure he is at 50% Rivalry/Friendship in Act 2, to pop his Questioning Belief quest. This technically can be done after you start A Bitter Pill. However, as a precaution, I would advise doing his QB before "A Bitter Pill.
3) Lastly, you do not need to use the flirt option in Hawkes Estate, after you return from the slaver dens. Using it will trigger the romance scene (assuming some of the above criteria is met), BUT you can simply ask him his plans regarding the info about his sister. So long as you don't use any broken hearts during this convo, and you have him set up to be your romance of choice (again, the above criteria), then he will return later to the Estate (next time you return to the it, in fact), and romance scene will initiate if you choose for him to stay.
Hope the broody-elf goodness works out for you. His romance is still my favorite with Isabella following.... cheers!

I know how to romance him, and no need to worry about spoilers (I have beaten the game 3 times myself and have played half the game twice, and watched a friend play through it. I know the game. lol)
I guess I could have asked in a more coherent fashion, but my main question was if there is any way (if possible atall) to get Fenris's Friendship from half-way to Rivalry to 50% Friendship. If not, I am pretty sure I can just get him to 50% Rivalry and activate his romance that way, though I am not sure how good of a romance that actually is by comparison. lol

At this point I think you're better off going for the rivalry path instead. Aside from the points you earn in Bitter Pill itself, I don't think there are enough in Act 2 to get to 50% friendship in order to trigger the Questioning Beliefs dialog that is required to initiate the romance before you start Bitter Pill.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. That wasn't what I got out of the OP, hence the "tactical" breakdown of romancing Fenris....LOL.
I would agree with Nightcrawls on this, that following the Rivalry path at this point, is probably for the best. I don't have the total number of Friendship points available in Act 2 and Act3 in front of me, but considering you would need around a hundred points to get you to 50% Friendship (from where you currently are), all within only Act 2 (to pop his QB), there just aren't enough available points to do this.
Again, if I am reading your post correctly (that you were nearly 50% Rivalry when you started Act 2, but now wish to get to 50% Friendship, all without replaying Act 1), go with Rivalry.

I did. 4 hours of gameplay just wasn't worth it to romance a character, so I just went with the Rivalry romance. So far it hasn't been bad and does kinda match the character, so it's all good. lol
Thanks for all the help anyway, though.
