This thread is goin' places. 
Maker's breath! I'm doin' my best to control my baser "lulz" commentary.
it is either you get me wrong or i misused the language since i m not a native english speaker and my original meaning may be misinterpreted.
what i really mean is : you mentioned that quarian/asari/turian are "human-y",that is,their body shapes have some common features wirh human's,so the similarity between a human and a humanoid alien is the same as the similarity between cats and dogs on the body shape.
and the problem is,cats and dogs dont mate each other just because they have some similarities on their body shape.
I fail to see the comparison respectfully because dogs and cats are animals with natural instricts but lack that upper teir realm of mental behavior for humanoid beings with devopled brain mechanics no matter how much humanity people wish to imply to their beloved pets.
It would be natural to be attracted at the very least to an alien that represents a human form or close to one because of the ways human beings operate in terms of sexual/emotional attraction. The more something would looke like a woman or a man, the possibility has a better chance of an alien coupling. I for one, growing up watching Star Trek: The Next Generation and epecially Star Trek: Deep Space 9 --- have already seen the possibilites of human and alien relationships ( not to mention the idea of Twi-lek dancers in Star Wars or Captain whats his face and the Minbari ( Did I get that right?) in Babylon 5...so it wasn't a big taboo for me.
In my case, Shepard is supposed to be the bridge to the other races in Mass Effect, and as it is a Sci Fi story, I would rather be immersed in the Science Fiction by having the character be " in love" with an Alien speices. In this case, the Assari my view would most likely be the closest thing, and unlike the Quarian, more accessbile and they kind of look like blue size zero models walking up and down Imperial Beach. Tali would be the 2nd except for her little problem with the enviormental suit ( and we still don't know what they look like underneath it dispite the Tali Scene ( Damn you Bio Ware!) but the female Quarian are also shaped like very atheletic women in tight suits. I notice one thing --- the females regarldess in ME have pretty much won the war on Obesity and just about everyone looks like they could go through a Triatholon or two without too much huffing and puffing. ( I find that unrealistic if not telegraphing more Size Zero propoganda).
I don't see an issue, if the like minded body make-ups transition well between human physology...and the said person has an attaction... gooooo for it.
Now saying someone " falls in love" with any of these fictional characters is going too far in my book, after all --- its only a game but there are plausible relationships that you could, as the player, see your self getting into the various choices in the game with the fandom that comes with it.
A relationship with Miranda wouldn't last too long in my view, nor would one with Jack go on for too long as their both attached to other problems and issues that would take presidence over Shepard at some point.
Ashley Williams to me, was too much of a Zealot for the Alliance and her behavior at Horizon burned any bridge of my Shepard to hint at it, after all, she thought my Shepard was a terrorist and outright called him a traitor to his face.
I won't go through the rest --- as it has been beaten to death but out of all them, it seems that Liara was the one who went through hell and damn nation for Shepard, took lumps, dealed with the Shadow Broker's B.S --- risked life and limb --- AND greeted you with kindness without going on and on and on about Cerberus's terrorism or being a traitor.
So you know, loyalty goes a long way in my book. She diserves Shepard's all.
Tali comes in second because it seems she's a nice person without special interests looming in the closet --- and she also treats Shepard very well when they meet again --- without the whole Cerebus complaint. She's a little older, more wiser, and she's also willing to fight along side Shepard despite the situation. Her loyalty mission --- like Liara's mission were well written and had a lot more drama involved, giving you a closer inspection at their lives and who they are.
