Hee-- I know what you mean about the Steve Valentine voice. I had thought my mage character would have stayed clear of Al this run through, him being a Templar sort and all. But then he popped in with the rose, looking all awkward and "I know I'm probably going to have my heart crushed right now". A few episodes later and it's the tent scene 
I'm guessing the whole Lili thing was triggered simply by the approval level, as my previous character had also done the Margorie quest and talked about it afterwards. The mage took Lili along more than my rogue did, though, which gave more opportunities for approval. I'd say the romance options are a bit bugged in that sense, but then again, people aren't always completely sensible about love in the real world.
This is a self fulfilling prophecy in some of my games, where I deliberately lead him on so I can crush him like an egg. I can't kill him until the Landsmeet, so I just let him build himself up so I can destroy him before hand. Even with that, if he gets to kill Loghain, he steals my thunder at the Archdemon with his "but I love you, and can't let you die"...
