From Liara's tone in the video, I think it more or less makes sense. She's not trivializing the relationship, she's testing whether Shepard is still serious. Which more-or-less makes sense -- Shep spent a couple years dead -- and Liara spend at least part of the time in mourning -- and after that the Commander spent some time working for Cerberus away from Liara. They've both changed, and Liara is feeling uncertain. (Though it's quite possible that Liara and Shep gone over all this in LotSB -- but doesn't ME3 only detect whether you've played it, not what you did in it?)

The really awkward bit is that even if you didn't romance Liara, it's clear she still has a giant crush on Shepard. My one playthrough of ME3 so far (before my Xbox broke down...) was with a character who had romanced Ashley in the first game, and was trying to stay true to her, despite her massive trust issues. In the same scene if Shep hasn't romanced Liara, Liara gets positively gooey, and I felt really bad telling her we were just friends. Especially since Ashley was still giving me the cold shoulder at the time.
