I'm thinking that it shouldn't be just how you interact with her that furthers the romance, but also the "big" choices you make throughout the game. If Samara is on an equal plane with Shepard then she should be evaluating the decisions he makes and determine whether his choices are aligned with what she considers her moral code.
Don't they already have that in a sense with the "almost"-romance? You can't romance her as a Renegade, your alignment is important if you want to open up that sort of dialogue with her. I think they could continue it in that direction in ME3 where your alignment/choices determines whether she will finally let herself be with Shepard.
It'd be great if they did that! But I don't exactly have my hopes up for a Samara romance. 
Chances are very slim, but its not entirely impossible, it just has to have a certain amount of class and thought added to it. The essential message the writers are giving at that scene where she "refuses your advances" is that some people can display a remarkable amount of strength in a situation where there emotions can come into play (probably more to it than that). She more than admits that she finds Shepard attractive, feels a special bond, and can be happy with him so what if her circumstances change later on? Can Justicars retire? lol.
I think a Justicar retirement involves dying defending innocents. At least for most of them, at least! But I do agree, it does display a great deal of strength on the characters part, showing her dedication in regards to the code. It's what made her great for me.
I think we can all expect a cameo at the minimum for ME2 squadies in ME3, I can't help but wonder how differently she'd react to a Shepard she acknowledged having a connection with.
