No ME romance is a one night stand.
I mean, really...who honestly believes that?
*Raises hand*
They aren't all one-night stands:
-Garrus' started as a casual sex thing, but it was evident during the romance scene that it was more than that to Garrus. I'd say more an emotional connection. Afterall, we don't even know if they actually did anything but the headbump, but whatever they could've done was an emotional charged. Imo it was better than 2 of the three ME1 romances.
-Thane was "hold me and baby me because my wife is dead", which tbh I don't see why they would have him romanceable, especially exclusively for FemShep (you can argue it makes more sense for a maleshep). Sorta lame, yes, but no booty-call. If it was about sex, Thane could've slipped into solipsism. Never really liked it, but it wasn't a bootycall.
-Jacob's was, well, you guys know. The porno-flick lines don't help its credibility. <_<
-Tali's seemed pedobearish. I mean, she could be like only 18, and Shepard is 29/31. And the whole focus of the previous dialogue is "Should we do it?" instead of "Touchy feely blah blah blah". I feel its a booty call, since you can basically take advantage of her naivety and drop her flat on her face afterwards.
-Miranda's was straight to sex, so that doesn't help. But to its credit there were signs of romantic feelings from Miranda. Still, afterward you can blow her off and say it was just about sex.
-Jack's didn't feel like a booty call to me. There was all the dialogue saying it wasn't about sex beforehand, some coming after turning down casual sex. The whole scene was based on emotion, and there was apparently no sex. It was completely emotionally charged, like Garrus' and Thane's, even if it was based off the "have sex with me to fix my head" thing, which, although unfortunately real, sorta hurts the scene.
That just my take. Hitting a solid .500 is pretty good, even if it is a step-backwards from ME1.
