A lot of people would prefer not to deal with the romance in Mass Effect 1, either to save themselves for another romance partner in Mass Effect 2 or simply because they don't want the romance. But how do you avoid the romance and still get most of the dialogue conversations from the squadmates? For instance, how can a male Shepard get the same conversations that a female Shepard gets from Ashley?
To summarize:
1. Ashley - In the first conversation with her, when she questions having aliens on the ship, choose the middle-LEFT option on the dialogue wheel. From then on, the conversations progress as it would for a female Shepard. She'll call you "Commander" rather than "Skipper."
2. Kaidan - In the first conversation with him, he'll apologize for rambling. Pick the bottom-right option on the dialogue wheel. From then on, the conversations progress as it would for a male Shepard. He'll end his conversations with "Commander" rather than "I'd like that."
3. Liara - In her second conversation with you, she'll ask if there's something going on between you and Ashley/Kaidan. Tell her that you're just friends. Then she'll ask if there's something between you and her. Pick the middle-right option that lets her know you're not interested in her in that way. She'll call you "Commander" rather than "Shepard."
