@PlumPaul: Probably both; you can choose between the two old ones or bag yourself a new one. Though part of me hopes that they calm down with if not stop introducing new LIs. By ME2, there were too many to keep track of. TOO MANY PEOPLE TO POLITELY DECLINE!
I am sure that there will be new LI choices. and its not like you really have to decline any of them. Just don't pick the flirty responses (although Shep sounds like a tart with Jacob regardless of the response--you could be saying "I hate you" and it would come out "Hey baby, wanna date?")
@Fire Eye: I think Kaidan and Ash were supposed to be cordoned off for this game to make Shepard and the gamer feel isolated from them. You're playing from Shep's side. It would ruin the effect if you are seeing firsthand the anguish that the VS is going through. Playing as Joker is different because he is with you and is still part of the team.
PlumPaul:
I thought the lady gamers would be upset about this, only being able to choose from: Liara (basically a chick), Kaidan, Jacob, Thane and Garrus (lol...), and I'm sure theres someone I'm missing. I thought that you guys especially would want more LI's.
Probably not as much an issue here in this thread. Kaidan's our ideal. As I said earlier, even if there were other men to romance in ME1, I still would have gone with Kaidan just for the voice at first, then for the character later.
I'll have a new character "cheat" in ME2--but just to see what the fallout with Kaidan will be--so for story reasons. My real Shep is true. The other characters just couldn't compare to her one true love.
Goofygoff:
I'm quite happy with most of the choices, especially when you consider what a lot of other franchises offer female gamers. Which is nothing. 
Quite true!
