Kai Lame shall never take Ashley/Liara/Jack/Miranda/Kaidan from my Shepard's arms, he'll be given a taste of his omni-blade if he even tries.
your omni blade is useless against his plot shield, which your space girlfriend is so impressed by that she dumps you for him on Thessia.
That'll give you something better than the poor asari to mope about Cmdr. Shepard.

1. Headbutt= showing interest
2. Go out on rampage together on some unsuspecting foe or wildlife, followed by a little barbecue at a local Vorcha eatery = first date
3. some one on one sparring
There, good romance mechanic. We even get to play with our big guns.
You know, it occurred to me that at least when it comes to Mass Effect, you are always the one pursuing an LI. Why not switch it up?
Maybe I want to be chased. Maybe I want to be super tsundere and have my LI break through the cold outer shell. Maybe I want to tease them along all game only to tear their heart out in the end. Maybe I want to be the broken bird that needs fixing.
I think it could be super fun. Of course there should be an easy way to politely (or not so politely) say no early on.
I liked in Dragon Age Origins and Inquisition how you could make out with your LI whenever you wanted (based on who it was), especially in DA:O when it would make Leliana jealous if you kissed in front of her. I'd love that kind of LI interaction in ME:A
But he tries. Oh, how he tries.
You can get a jealous reaction from another companion if you selected a kiss with the current LI?I liked in Dragon Age Origins and Inquisition how you could make out with your LI whenever you wanted (based on who it was), especially in DA:O when it would make Leliana jealous if you kissed in front of her.

Another bold and decisively interested LI would be wonderful.
Unfortunately, I think it's very unlikely after what happened with Anders.

I think part of the issue with Anders was that there was no easy, polite, or non-jerk way to say no. Also he came on maybe a bit too strong.

Nah, his biggest crime was that he dares to flirt with the protagonist. Isabella also flirted around but it's okay because she's a girl. Even characters that don't even flirt with you like Dorian get called out for hitting on the male protagonist even when he never did.

Personally i had no issues shutting him down or his response but think from memory some people were unhappy that he took the hump and rivalry points for it.

That was my only issue with the writing there. I didn't even mind the rivalry gain, or the fact that he came on strong and suddenly. I minded that my Hawke couldn't let him down gently.
I think I recall that one of the Devs reacted to the negative feedback by saying that they probably wouldn't have an LI make the first move again. Hopefully they eventually change their mind.
Anders is the only companion who flirts with Hawke, and only with the male Hawke. Of course it's weird. Especially so since:
A. As mentioned above, turning him down hurts his feelings. Anders was my favorite Awakening companion, so I didn't like that.
B. In Awakening, he seems to have a pronounced preference for girls. Is male Hawke that sexy?
Entirely inaccurate. He flirts with female Hawke quite brazenly, he just takes a different tact. He calls female Hawke beautiful, and with male Hawke he instead compliments him on his raw masculinity.
Also, I promise that it's not uncommon for bisexual people (or in Anders' case, Pansexual) to play up their interest in the opposite sex in certain company. The potential reasons for doing so are fairly self evident.
Maybe its just their choice of song(Johnny Cash) but i'm hoping for a wild west/frontier vibe where rules/regulations don't really survive coming face to face hostile native environment. Equally i hope there's less structure & more freedom to the pathfinders role.

Goddammit Anders.
Though that was the DA team, it might not apply to ME:A.
I remember that about Anders too. As someone who always tries to get everyone's approval I was a little annoyed that there really was no polite way to turn him down.
I remember got ninjamanced by Anders once and it was in my first playthrough. Fenris came to my house and then suddenly he left and Anders replaced him and said he loved me more. Serious WTF moment...
I still romance Anders after that and then I get hear how Anders rub his relationship on Fenris. Kinda make me furious but I play along. Killed him in the end though and he's glad it was me. .. ... actually its kinda wonderful...

I've never flirted with him in one of the game and that scene never happens. Even then you could have rejected him. Lesson, don't lead people on if you don't want to be ninjamanced.

I never actually flirt Anders aggressively in that first playthrough or kissed him (extra scene where he said "we're not meant to be together but I can't stop loving you" smooches), probably just flirt once, and then pursue Fenris primarily, that's why that took me by surprise.
I did another playthrough where I romance him exclusively and another romance where I slept with Fenris and then he left and then romanced Anders. That's when I got Anders bragging about Fenris letting me go and Fenris threatened to kill him. Anders actually hated Fenris and vice versa.
The only ninjamance that I kinda like. Liara on the other hand...

That be would be great, especially if they were shady in the beginning and you didn't know if you could trust them. Being the broken bird....yes please. But don't make me say something evil if I say no.

Meh...I have a few characters who are terrible flirts, I especially liked flirting with Dorian and specifically told him he better not stop after his personal quest. If in real life a simple flirt meant a relationship a lot of us would be in a world of trouble. 
Anders is a damn stalker if you ask me, like a piece of sticky tape on your finger you just can't shake off. 
At least in Inquisition I could flirt with lots of folk and it was only after a while that a relationship would start, with an actual message on the screen making it clear. Hopefully that's the way they're going with ME:A. Some characters like James or Zevran or Dorian are so flirty, it's fun. Wouldn't take that away personally.
It just needs to be plainly communicated, for example I said one nice thing to Zevran in DA:O and boom, we're in a relationship. WTF? My Cousland was saving herself for Alistair to come pop her cherry (she was very innocent) so I was not happy about that at all.
