After flirting for a while, there will be a conversation in which youвЂ™re able to вЂlock inвЂ™ your romantic preference, closing off your other options. At a certain point, you unlock their loyalty mission, which you must complete in order to progress your relationship. The main romances are progressed throughout the story by speaking to the crew member in question after each mission. These are the main romances that unlock the Paramour achievement, but in addition to these, either Shepard can romance Kelly Chambers, flirt with Samara, or sleep with Morinth, if youвЂ™re feeling incredibly brave (and have a backup of your save file). Female Shepard can date Jacob, Garrus, or Thane. Male Shepard can romance Miranda, Tali, or Jack. Alternatively, you can remain loyal to your original partner, and Shepard will look fondly at their photo before the final mission.

You wonвЂ™t have your ME1 lover by your side throughout the game, so you can choose to start up a relationship with someone new, at which point Shepard turns the photo on their desk face down. In Mass Effect 2, your relationship from ME1 will be imported, and Shepard will keep a photo of them on their desk. This also means sheвЂ™ll turn up in your quarters on the way to Ilos, at which point you can accept or decline a romance scene by choosing Paragon or Renegade answers, respectively.

You can suggest dating both of them, but the human character is disgusted by your insensitive suggestion, and leaves вЂ“ Liara, however, can still be romanced.ДЄfter completing the four main mission planets and returning to the Citadel, Liara reassures you, and unless you respond with Renegade choices, your relationship is confirmed. Continuing to flirt with her and Ashley/Kaidan at the same time results in a confrontation after the next main mission is complete, in which they ask you to choose between them. Soon after you recruit Liara, she hints at having a romantic interest in you, which you can encourage. If youвЂ™re looking to romance Liara, donвЂ™t leave her recruitment mission on Therum too late вЂ“ if you visit Therum after Virmire, there will be no time to establish a relationship. Otherwise, before the mission on Ilos, they visit your room вЂ“ Paragon choices result in a romantic cutscene, and Renegade choices turn them away, though they will still carry over to the next game as a romantic relationship. Hard to come back from that.ДЄfter the Normandy is placed in lockdown, Kaidan or Ashley approaches you with reassurance, at which point you can break things off by pursuing the Renegade path. On Virmire, you must decide whether to rescue Ashley or Kaidan from the nuclear blast unsurprisingly, leaving your love interest behind also ends your relationship with them. Shortly after recruiting Liara, your human love interest asks if Shepard is interested in her вЂ“ if you say you are, this ends the romance with Kaidan/Ashley. If you want to romance them, reassure them, and continue to speak to them after each primary mission вЂ“ the two of you develop a flirtatious relationship. On Eden Prime, depending on ShepardвЂ™s gender, either Kaidan or Ashley get caught in the pull of the Prothean beacon.
