If you’re reading this then it’s for one reason and one reason alone: you want to romance one of Mass Effect 3’s numerous sex-able squad members. That or you want the ‘Paramour’ Achievement or Trophy.
So here’s the list of Mass Effect 3 characters that can be romanced, and how and when you must act to convince them your Shepard is the one for them. Remember you should speak to your chosen honeybun as often as you can, just to make sure all conversation options are completed.
Gender compatibility: Female
Previous requirement: Romance in Mass Effect 2
After joining the squad, Garrus will return to his regular position within the gun battery on board the Normandy. Make sure you speak to him, where the subject of his and Shepard’s relationship will arise. You can turn him down, or you can keep the conversation going.
Then, after the Genophage mission is completed, find Garrus in the cockpit with Joker, when you can reflect on the events of the mission.
Finally, after speaking with Garrus enough, he will ask to meet Shepard on the Citadel. Meet him there for your special moment.
Gender compatibility: Male
Previous requirement: None
During the Mars mission, Kaiden will confront Shepard about his past ties with Cerberus. Choose the Paragon option to avoid upsetting Kaiden.

– Immediately after arriving at the Citadel, despite Kaiden being unconscious.
– After completing the mission on Palaven.
– Lastly, before the Genophage mission is complete.

If you romanced Liara in the original Mass Effect, use her first conversation on board the Normandy as an opportunity to rekindle – or end, if that’s what you want – your relationship with her.
She can be found at the café in the Presidium Commons on the Citadel. Ensure you talk to her enough to get her to move to Shepard’s cabin where she will show him her time capsule.
When she’s ready to enter a relationship, Liara will ask to meet Shepard on board the Citadel.
Gender compatibility: Male
Previous requirement: None
Cortez can be found on the Normandy’s cargo deck. Speak to him enough so Shepard can suggest that Cortez takes some time off on the Citadel. This is necessary for later options.
Look for Cortez at the Citadel docking bay first then, later, find him at the refugee camp.
After both Citadel encounters, Cortez will email Shepard to ask him to visit Purgatory. Do so to get the option of a romance with Cortez.
Gender compatibility: Female
Previous requirement: Romance from Mass Effect 2
Speak with Tali as soon as she arrives on board the Normandy. Here you can choose to continue or end the relationship with her.
If you’ve spoken to Tali enough prior to the mission on Rannoch, then she will ask Shepard to call her up to his cabin. Do so for the opportunity to continue the relationship.
Gender compatibility: Male
Previous requirement: Romance from Mass Effect 2
Since you won’t see Miranda much throughout Mass Effect 3, you don’t have to do much to get her romance options. If you romanced her in Mass Effect 2, then you’ll have the option to continue the relationship when you meet her on the Citadel.
Gender compatilbility: Female
Previous requirement: None
Specialist Traynor – like Kelly before her – can be found at a terminal beside the galaxy map on board the Normandy. Simply talk to her as often as possible, then when she is ready to romance she will email Shepard about a game of chess.
Accept the request and, if your intimacy with her is high enough, you can start a relationship with her.
