I kind of don't think you'll be able to begin a brand new romance at all. That will suck for new players I guess, but I would think that the vast majority of people playing ME3 will be continuing from a previous game, and if they're interested in romance, they'll be importing one. It seems like a waste of resources to write whole new romance scenarios for the last game.
Since the character pool seems slimmed down from ME2, and they've admitted about making a tighter game from a quantity of characters perspective, I think you may be right in ME3 not having the ability to make a new romance.

With the ME2 romance options, there seem to be numerous options, working from the no romance at all angles, all the way to ME1 romance, "cheated" on ME1 romance with ME2 romance.

I'm sure there's some flow chart at Bioware with all the possible options.

Possible, though we're not sure if we have all six of those characters back in the game yet.
