User blog comment:HELO/I Love You, Ashley--Now Stop Punishing Me for It/@comment-184.94.182.79-20120801051504

Funny, she called ME skipper at one point, and I didn't end up romancing her... Tali stole me away in game two. Might be how I handled it though; complete paragon responses EXCEPT in the hospital, where I told her maybe we needed a clean slate. She didn't even call me on the ME 2 relationship.

I got the feeling ME romances followed a policy of trying to assign each character a relationship style. Tali is sorta the high school sweetheart you just won back a home world for. Liara is a true love conquers all sorta thing if you stick with her all the way through. Ash struck me as a relationship that was going to be more about snark to snark combat than mush. My ex was like that... didn't make it any less special though.
