Yeah it's very frustrating. A lot of people are having the problem and I haven't found a workaround. I'm worried I might not be able to do his romance.
Having had this problem, I can confirm that the following worked:
> Reload to just before destruction of Haven
> Play through to reaching Skyhold (I selected the "we must stop Corypheus" option)
> On reaching Skyhold, I spoke to whom I liked, including Dorian (who had no additional dialogue at this stage). I then unlocked and fast travelled to Crestwood, walked around for a bit (reached the village) and returned to Skyhold.
> I spoke to Dorian and the letter scene triggered. On finishing the conversation, Giselle was downstairs in the hall with the quest.

Unfortunately, it seems this quest needs to trigger early on after reaching Skyhold; as to whether or not it relies on other dialogue options is unclear, although I have to say that judging Alexius seems to have had no bearing on it (as I haven't judged him at the reload, and whatever I did in my immediately-pre-Alexius prior save couldn't trigger the scene). As a side effect, it does seem that leaving it too long will prevent this quest from ever firing properly.

I think it was just going to crestwood that may have unlocked it. I honestly can't recallwhen exactly i triggered it, but i do remember Giselle meeting me in the main hall with the throne after coming back from somewhere. the romance option comes after the quest where you go to meet with felix and deal with his father in redcliffe, the amulet quest. I had the option after that one, and declined and he said he considered me a good friend. you build tons of brownie points with him doing that one, so even if you're low the romance/friendship point should be reached after it. and for me it was Very shortly after reaching skyhold i think.
