Just Skip The Romance...
Romance choices are so limited that I don't even bother. For a straight male who wants to romance a human female there is ONE choice. Blah...

I haven't completed MEA yet, only at 94hrs and on Voled (I'm a habitual completionest), and have just tested the waters with the romance options by flirting with female characters that I'm interested in. In all my playthroughs of ME1-ME3 I've been a straight male also, it's just who I am and how I react to this type of situation. But regarding your original concern, I know that there are "flirt" options for human females besides Cora, that being Suvi and the female reporter on the Nexus. Maybe those flirt options lead to dead ends, as I haven't really gone too far yet. Or it may be that those relationships won't bloom until later in the series or with the addition of a DLC.
Personally, I feel that the romance options (and they are optional which is good for those that don't want to bother with them) are an important part of Bioware games, whatever your sex/race preferences are, in helping with that "suspension of belief" that you're in a living/breathing world. So far the romance system in MEA doesn't feel quite as tight (poor choice of words I suppose) as in previous games, but I believe the developers are addressing that with patches, and implementing a more realistic experience as they move forward with DLC and MEA2.

An adjustment to my original post. I think the reporter on the Nexus is Assari not Human, sorry for not checking before I posted.
