As long as I avoid this particular line and the convo about a "forbidden fruit" (which is flirty and rather obvious)
But you can't avoid doing it, it is like saying no to Dagna.
Not at all, you get some other nice options in that conversations, like "you know you can always come to me if you want to talk", IIRC. It didn't trigger the romance in my games. As for "forbidden fruit", I'm not sure if it does anything for a female PC, I just remembered reading about it.

Cal Jones,
Aw... the idea of Zev secretly falling in love is kind of appealing, though during an US run, pretty bad. This is the first I've heard of anyone accidentaly romancing him. Same with Morrigan. Wow. You must be a real charmer. XD

I was thinking, hmm, you know... that's not a bad idea, but I didn't quite see it coming. Hah, now.. Leliana on the other hand... I saw that trouble right off the bat. =/

Once I accidentally got into a romance with Zevran... When he asked my female Warden if she would be offended if he said that he were interested in her, she said "Not at all" because she's vain like that. But the next time I talked to him, he's all like, "Hmmmm? ;)" and I get the option to tell him "We need to end this." End what???
Ooooooooh.... XD I see where things are going awry for people now. XD But it realy just means he sees you as a posability... that he's allowed to show interest. I do think the 'we need to end this' option seems a bit out of place if no sex is happening, though.

But I have learned from my experiences. The game does not know your personal motivations. One dialogue can vary so much depending on delivery or motivation, and to attach your own to it may just...asking for surprise sex or being denied the sex your PC may want. I save before every frikkin NPC conversation just in case someone doesn't mistake my friendliness for flirtation, or my flirtation for a diss and I reload if the reaction was not what I expected.
In my playthrough as the more...care a damn Male Noble, he slept with Morrigan. Leliana AND Zevran before landsmeet and I still don't know how exactly he did that. It worked with his character though.

BWAH!
Anyway -
A wonky little glitch has happened in a couple of my play-throughs that says it all about li'l Lel. I have a nice chat in camp with Sten, say "Let's go" and POOF! Leliana appears right at my elbow. Andraste's ass, back off already, Princess Jealous McNeedypants. I'm just talking to the man!

Yeah, that one can be a bit subtle. I remember the first game in which I didn't realize it was a flirt option since "do you stare at everyone like that" was a bit obscure at the time. (He was already calling the warden a sex god/goddess from the get-go without an actual relationship so that conversation option seemed normal/harmless enough.) Once I had started the dialogue path, I realized it had been a flirt option and picked the least offensive answer, thinking that it would allow me to back out gracefully, but the romance was already triggered. Now you just know which line to avoid next time. "The more you play, the more you know!" =pIndistinct_Void wrote...

I believe it was the "you're going to make me choose" option??

Zevran forced me to choose between him and Leliana... I wasn't even aware of the fact that I had a relationship with her. So I told Zevran I wanted to be with him, I got a -25 from Leliana. I talked to Leliana and I took another -15. That was quite surprising...
Had the same thing happen between Morrigan and Leliana. I had the conversation with Leliana during a quest in which Morrigan wasn't even in my party. She gave me the old her or me ultimatium. I chose her and got Morrigan disapproves -20. Then I get back to camp and talk to her and get the 'it's written all over your face' speech. Morrigan disapproves -15. That really pissed me off, cause it was like double jeopardy.
I've also had a number of ninja love situations with all the usual suspects. Most of the time I'm completely unaware I'm in a romance with anyone other that the one I'm actively pursuing. Wham, bam, you need to choose. I'm like, huh? WTF.

Oh yes, I can sympathize. I epic fail all romances because apparently if something doesn't come paired with flashing lights and blaring sirens, I end up being molested by Asari or witchy redheads.

Which makes me wonder -- would it be better if dialogs that start this sort of thing were flagged somehow? With a big italic Start Romance Track or some such? Or is it better if NPCs can get the wrong idea sometimes?

My dalish male had Morrigan's ring after the first main quest, smooched Zev before they even left the clearing where Zev had attacked him, and then was ninja-romanced by Lel and just went with it before breaking up with her for Zev. He was quite enjoying his freedom.
