I always get too scared to not just jump in feet first the first second I can with the first person who I like that's looks interesting, cause I end up paranoid about my character ending up alone.
It was really hard to try and let the other characters hit on me first, because I was so scared, but when I did let them, and restrained myself it felt so much more natural and better.
I'm going to miss that option, whenever your character hit on the npcs, it always feels like it comes out forced and awkward, whereas the npcs seem better at it... 
Plus I prefer being the one pursued if possible... but missed romance in game paranoia usually got the best of me 
I hear you on this. I really hope flirting does go 2 ways. I loved to flirt with Varric and missed the chance to flirt with Aveline because I couldn't bring myself to tell her the one she had her heart set on "wasn't the one," even though I knew by then that I wasn't going to wreck her feelings for Donnic, it didn't seem like the kind of thing a friend would say. I was warned about ninjamances with Zev and Leliana and managed to navigate through them without flirting, but I would have liked to say something fun and flirtatious, especially to Zev, who seemed to be begging for it. Some of my favorite party banters are between Morrigan and Sten, Sigrun and Oghren (and Oghren clearing the air with Nathaniel), with Fenris and Isabela hooking up, etc. Hopefully the inquisitor will get to play along too!
These romance dialogues and flirts and banters must be a real P.I.T.A. to write, but they are so fun to play.
I'm a bad one for rushing romances and liked that DA2's happened in Act 2. One of my wardens kissed Alistair for the first time in Dane's Refuge (one gift only, but blessed little dialogue for the rest of the game either.) My male Cousland rogue barely made it out of camp before Morrigan started complaining about her cold tent. Replaying DAO now, I'm deliberately not rushing things and talking to everybody once only each time we set up camp. I'm having a lot more fun letting things proceed at a more relaxed pace.
And if anyone believes this, I've got a tower in Orzammar, cheap. The similes I came up with aren't quite flattering, so I'm just going to say that I expect a lot of self-discipline is going to be in order if I don't want to scare the poor man off. What happens if he's shy? I might dance around Skyhold for a positively indecent amount of time hoping for a glimpse or stray word.....
