There seems to be major opposition due to the fact you may get hit on. I present two solutions:
1. Deal with it.
Thats right, I said it. If the fact that not only that they are
fictional characters made up of polygons isn't enough for you, its a role-playing game, meaning that you can shoot down whoever you want. I'll use, ironically, Tali as an example. I loathre the Talimance. I see her in two ways. One my sister, two a stereotypical (not my view) Palestinian (Geth-Quarians=Israelis-Palestinians). So when she starts hitting on me, I see my sister in a burqa holding an AK-47 in one hand, and an inbred toothless redneck child in the other, while spouting techie stuff in Farsi. Know what I do?
"I'm sorry Tali, I just don't feel that way about you".
I certainly don't die inside when this happens, or have to run to the toilet to vomit or anything. If it does that to anybody, you need to stop playing videogames and go to counseling.
Or you could also just ignore her, which brings up solution number two.
2. Remove the aspect of getting hit on.
This would actually solve a lot of this. First of all, it removes all of that awkward imagery you might get (see above). It also ends Talimances, so long as you have a decent understanding in grammer and what the difference between things like "I can't" and "I won't" mean. A lot of the "But how will I noe if tehy liek meh?" sayers about this can be also appeased with a greater use of body language. Its already has been used a fair amount in Mass Effect, and greatly so in other Bioware games. So this makes things good for both parties because you don't really see that body language of the NPC subconsciously saying "Ooh, I liek Shepard<3" with their body unless you
want to see it. That way if somebody's thinking of romance with them, they can get tipped off rather than hit on. Those who don't want to see them that way can, and most likely will, not even notice it. And will likely brush it off if they do.
IMO, the latter seems really out of character for Bioware, which redirects you to Solution 1,
DEAL WITH IT.It is
role-playing, and you fill that
role however you want to
play it. Every choice is absolutely your own to make. If you can't deal with that, you should stop playing RPGs and go play a game that forces you do see the game the way the developers wanted you to see it.

No. She clearly wants female
friends. She wasn’t interested in 1 isn’t interested in 2 so if they
suddenly make her bi for 3 it makes no sense plus it ruins her already
well developed character.
She wasn't interested in MaleShep in Mass Effect 1 either, and I doubt she's going to go without being further developed in ME3.
I guess people want non Asari girls to be bi
because they’re not Asari ME sets them up as mono gendered there for
when your fshep romances one she’s technically romancing a guy

Not male in my eyes.
even
though she’s all outwardly female like flowers you just don’t know what
sex your getting when you pick em’. For those who don’t know flowers are
monogendered too and can change themselves to be either depending on
the season and male to female ratio.
We agree. Romancing asari in Mass Effect is like screwing a flower.
Bioware tried to pull the veil over our eyes saying "well they're not female, so they're not actually lesbians". That made some people go "Oh okay, no gays in my Mass effect. I feel much better.' whereas other saw them and go "Oh, well they're clearly female, so lesbians, so Bioware does care."
Its all bs trying to trick all of us, using this very hypocritical and sexist standpoint on an entire species, trying to appease two groups on the totally different side of the spectrum, one on technicality and the other physically. Its disgraceful.
