I know there are threads about favorite Love Interests and squad-mates in the Mass Effect games, but I am curious to see how people went with their LIs across the trilogy. Did you stick with the one all the way through? Did you accidentally get into a relationship/cheat? Or did you keep your focus on saving the universe, with only a copy of Fornax (just for the articles, obviously)?
How things played out for my, male, Commander S:
Mass Effect 1: Hooked up with Liara - Playing the game a fair while after it's launch I knew of the Liara/Ashley option, and knew I would be going the blue route pretty early on. Eagerly sacrificing Ash on Virmire cemented my decision.
Mass Effect 2: Swapped to Miranda - Something about this character clicked with me early on, so I stayed paragon where given the option and before I knew it we were classilly making out in the middle of engineering..

Mass Effect 3: Moved on the Kaidan - When asked about how things were by both Liara and Miranda, at different stages in the game, I quickly told the first that we 'should just be friends' and aimed to keep going with the ex-Cerberus broad. Then went down the Kaidan route when it turned out that he was a lot less cranky than he first seemed in ME2..
So there you go. A different option for each game doesn't seem quite as dirty when you think of the amount of time that is meant to have passed between each.. or that's how I am justifying it..
Mass Effect 1 How To Romance Ashley Furniture
How do I have a romance on Renegade for Mass Effect Trilogy? For example I can't get a romance with Ashley or Liara on Renegade for Mass Effect 1 or for Mass Effect 3. Also would like to know if you can romance with Traynor on Renegade for Mass Effect 3. Is there really a way to romance on Renegade?

Your alignment in Mass Effect 1 does not stop any of the romances. As long as you are male, you will be able to romance Ashley even if you're renegade.

It's actually quite difficult to lock yourself out of the romances. Talk to the crew member after each mission and don't be a jerk. If you want to stay on the safe side don't pick the bottom option in the conversations.
There are also a few key conversations where you can end the romance and the dialogue if you try to romance both the human option and Liara at once. The answers should be fairly obvious- just let them know you're interested.
It also goes without saying that if you want to romance Ashley,

A Guide to Mass Romance
There were a lot of things interesting about Mass Effect, but the most interesting of all was the romantic relationships the main character, Shepard, could have with other members of the crew. Paced alongside the main plot, the romance options in Mass Effect eventually, if fully played, resulted in a brief sex scene between Shepard and his or her romantic interest.
There was some controversy about it, but Bioware clearly likes giving players the option to engage in romantic relationships as the same type of romance sub-plots are included in Mass Effect 2. But because effects from Mass Effect carry over to Mass Effect 2, players also can meet and interact with some romantic interests from the previous game.
The Romantic Options
Mass Effect 2 has a new cast of characters and also brings a few old characters back. As a result, there are new romantic interests for both male and female Shepards.
If your Shepard is male, you can go after Miranda, Jack, and Tali. If your Shepard is female, you can go after Garrus, Jacob, and Thane.
Both male and female Shepards can attempt a romance with the personal assistant, Kelly, or with Samara. These sub-plots don’t follow the normal rules of romance, however, and will be explained later.
Mass Effect 2 Romance Mechanics
The basic mechanics for all of these romantic relationships, despite the vastly different dialogue which plays over them, are exactly the same. All Shepard needs to do to impress his or her would-be lover is to talk to them aboard the Normandy. You’ll always have this option when you’re not on a planet, and in fact the option to talk exists with every character in the game and usually shows up on the dialogue wheel as something like 'Do you have time to talk?'
With romantic interests, however, a larger number of dialogue options will begin to unfold over time. The results of these options are, to be frank, very obvious. For example, Miranda will talk about how her body was genetically manipulated to be perfect, leaving Shepard open to some obvious pick-up lines. As in the rest of the game, the Paragon or 'good' options are located at the top of the dialogue wheel while the Renegade or 'bad' options are located at the bottom. In most cases picking the bottom options will cause Shepard to same something offensive, and there is sometimes a middle options on the dialogue wheel which simply allows Shepard to opt out.
Eventually the dialogue with a romantic interest will reach a sort of road-block, at which point the romantic interest will say that they need time or are waiting for the right moment. If you try to go further you’ll reach a dead-end of dialogue options where both Shepard and the NPC repeat themselves. Once a romance has reached this point, it can go no further until Shepard commands the ship to enter the Omega 4 relay. This is what triggers the final scene of the romance.
Conflicts of Interest
It is possible to try and go after two romantic interests at once. This will usually result in a conflict scene between Shepard and the two romantic interests. Shepard will be forced to pick a side, and once Shepard as done so it is impossible to go back. There are an exception to this, however. A male Shepard can have a one night stand with Jack (this is a Renegade option) and then go after Miranda or Tali. There is no one night stand option with any character a female Shepard can pursue.
