The farthest I ever got with Liara was with that "pick one" chat in the comm room...which I found surprising and amusing since I specifically told her I wasn't interested in her and just wanted to be friends. Apparently "no means no" doesn't translate well to asari.
I have no idea what was wrong with the game mechanics, but my MaleShep got trap-romanced after "I'm not interested in you." I like the fact that there is no possible way to be trap-romanced by Garrus. Shepard's lines are so blunt, and she even has to say it again in the first conversation to confirm what she meant. Then Garrus asks Shepard again if she wants out of it. No "all three options say yes" in his romance, which is a really good thing. There's less rage-quitting that way.
Do you play mostly as a Renegade? I guess it feels...more fluid with Garrus in ME2. When Paragon'd, Garrus only mentions he tried going back to C-Sec, but other than it, it's lagely the same. Plus, he seems to be the only one even relatively on your side when you keep the base. Even those who would side with you before you do it--namely Grunt and Legion--flip-flop when you talk to them afterwards.
My Shepards are all a mix of morality. They all use the Renegade solution to Garrus' missions. If it were my Shepards who wanted their revenge, and someone tried to stop them, they would hate that person, maybe even shoot through them. I know it's not the same for Garrus, but when my own characters are designed that way, it would be strange to have one romance him after they Paragon him. They like people who are like them, people they agree with. Renegade Shepard and Garrus agree most of the time.

I'm still kind of annoyed, too, but if you ever get to play Lair of the Shadow Broker, you might like her more. I did, and didn't think anything could make me feel that way.
What I've heard of LotSB actually made me like her less. xD But I still hope BioWare will release an Ultimate Edition for ME2 so I'll get to play it. If they don't, I just hope it doesn't matter in ME3 that I didn't play it. The most enjoyable DLC for me though would be Zaeed and Kasumi. Zaeed sounds like he would be one of my favorites for sure, and Kasumi's loyalty mission has a Saren statue that I want MainShep to see with her own eyes.

Well if you can't get Garrus and Shepard to spare Sidonis, you'll just have to come here after ME3 is out and those of us who spared him will let you know the difference :-) I'm hoping Sidonis will do something good for the galaxy.
That's the plan.

If something awesome happens, I'll make that Shepard I planned out spare him just to see it.
