I was curious to see what you guys thought. His name is Alex and he's an Adept. I'm going to be picking him up tomorrow and getting him past Eden Prime.
I left out Kelly, Allers, Steve and Kaidan out of that poll. I'm not interested in romancing Kelly, Allers annoys me like a rash on a hot day and my latest Shepard is straight.

I'm all for Jack, but I'd recommend Ash here actually. Sounds cool for Adept.

What about Samara? Ok, she's not a fully developed option, but still, very unique. From the list above I'd say Jack.

I completely forgot about the mini-romance between Samara and Shepard. It might be an idea, but I'd like this first male Shepard to have one of the ladies I listed. I'll consider Samara for an engineer Shepard down the road though.

Eh, I did with my previous Shepard. I didn't even know sexuality I was going to play her as until after Nassana's quest. I'm just wondering what folks think. I'm taking the character into Eden Prime tomorrow regardless. Sasquatch is working and it'll be my birthday, so I figure a little ME was in order.

I was just thinking that sometimes when you play, RP leads you in random directions. I mostly suggested Ash cuz you'd get a lot of use as an Adept. Kind of like I do playing Soldier with a biotic.

Tough choice, it all goes down to what you're aiming. If I were to pick one of these options though, I'd go with Miranda.

I'd base it on personality of your character and who fits him most.. meaning who would bring most drama That's how I decide anyways.. still middle of DAI playthroughs of romancing Dorian with templar Trevelyan and Cassandra with mage Qunari.

I picked Tali. She's the only female who sticks with you through all three games. I don't choose Ash because I don't like how it played out in ME3.

My favorite male Shep romance is actually Miranda even though some of the others got more content, though Tali would be a close second. Liara I prefer with femShep.

Before this goes any further: Can you still save Miranda from Kai Leng if you do the romance? I always go to the Citadel for her holo-call anyways to warn her about the space ninja.
I'm going to close the poll at 5:35am MDT tomorrow. About 12 hours from now and I noticed that Miranda was in the lead at the moment.
Not a lot of love for Liara, but I already did her romance as a FemShep so I'm fine with it. It's kinda amusing though.

Ash because she's generally misunderstood and not needy. Feels like a meeting of equals. That's for ME1. Obviously she's not around in ME2 and goes a bit odd in ME3.
And I like Liara but she's pretty much forced on you in ME1 so it's good to rebel a little. She seems to fit better with femshep anyway. Not sure why, they just seem to work together.

I like Tali myself.
She's around in every game and incredibly adorable when drunk.

The other night I got bored and started to play with one of my dogs. The younger of the two, Wilbur, is only a little over a year old. He loves when people do sound effects. We wrestle while I sing, "Witch Doctor" and "Tutti-Fruity." I had just finished Citadel and I love the scene where Tali is doing impressions of the Normandy. So I went to my pup and said, "Shoooom! Wububub!" He literally bounced into the air and we played for a good 20 minutes while I was imitating Tali. I'm such a dork.

Awe, cheating males are the most fun to play... so,
ME1: Ash... and save Ash ME2: Flirt with Kelly, cheat casually with Jack (dialogues stay friendly if you wait until after you've done her loyalty mission), try to romance Samara, wind up romancing Miranda or Tali ME3: Options here - Be hostile with Ashley (so you have to shoot her during the Coup - shooting her after having had a romance with her generates some additional dialogue with certain crew members) or try to re-earn her trust; or you can continue the romance with Miranda or Tali; or you can discover a new love for Liara. If you opt to lose Miranda on Horizon while in the romance with her, the death scene is quite touching and there is a bit of extra dialogue with Tali afterwards.
I'm mostly into the humans, but if you must stick with one over the entire Trilogy, I'd vote for Liara. It's the romance that feels the friendliest throughout (but it's funner also if you cheat a little on her during ME2 before doing LOTSB)... Her and Shep really start to feel like an old married couple in ME3. Tali comes in a close second for me, but her ME3 dialogue is pretty limited. Unfortunately, Ash's after-mission dialogues are so generally stilted and can feel almost hostile that it sort of ruins it for me. Her dialogue in the London FOB, however, is really great.

The only thing the romance adds to that is you can't break up with her in ME3. So to save her you have to: -reaffirm romance at the Citadel Docks. Promise her help. -give her the Alliance Resources when she asks. -warn her about Kai Leng. -resolve the standoff with Henry Lawson (paragon/renegade works best)

This is a bit of a personal thing really. It depends on what romance or character (or traits) you're into. I could say Ashley, as that's my favorite romance, but you might not like her at all. Most don't anyway, unfortunately.
I would say, go with whatever feels best. And in the case of Ashley, try to look past first impressions. She's one of the most interesting characters in the game, but you have to see it and appreciate it. Ashley is a very real character, as human as it gets. She has her doubts, insecurities, she's outspoken, and she has a checkered past that haunts here to some extent. She doesn't trust everyone at first sight, but when she does, she has your back. And a lot of love.

I voted Ashley. I think she gets a hard rap for being specist in the first game, but she comes around and is more interesting in the third.
