Back when the first Mass effect came out, I had two relations going at the same time. I was more inclined towards Ashley with my male Shep. But then... Virmire happened. Ashley was on the diversion squad. Between the bomb which absolutely needed to be blown and my new girlfriend, I chose the bomb. Wasn't happy about it, but it added a bigger impact for the story for me. Then Liara came along and she became somebody that I felt Shepard could rely on....Then I learned on my second playthrough that the bomb would've blowned up anyway.
Talk about being pissed. Anyway, I sold my xbox 360 the year after. Bought a PS3 last year and got myself the Mass effect trilogy to play the other games. I tried to make my male Shep a renegade badass who's only getting the job done and I let Ashley die so it could make a decent story of how he started to think about other people. Mass effect 1 always felt like a pen and paper game so I tried my best to invest my own self in the mix.
Mass effect 2 came along and I chose Miranda. She was confident in her abilities, smart, beautiful and she was played by Yvonne Strahovski. That actress is one of my Hollywood crush so I couldn't pass this chance. Miranda was confident in her abilities, but not in herself. Shepard came along and make sure she would never have that problem ever again. But then it seemed weird that pretty much every female character on board had a crush on me while I was dating Miranda. It made Tali more funny in the long run. I continued to pursue my romance with Miranda in Mass effect 3 and I haven't regretted it. No Ashley meant that I had more time to pass with Kaiden and learn that he was an okay guy. Liara became a good friend. Tali had that drunken episode where she cursed my girlfriend. Garrus and me became bros.
I'm starting a second playthrough as Femshep and my favorite tragic character was Thane. I'm thinking of romancing him or staying with Liara.
