The overrated Garrus is now #1. Boo. 
Vote for Kaidan!!!!!!!!
For the life of me, I cannot understand the love of Garrus romance. It is just the most awkward thing ever. I mean there are a few cute lines, but it is just so weird. With Tali at least she shows interest in Shep. She's always talking about how awesome he is and how much she admires him. But we never get a hint about Garrus feeling something for Shepard until the 'reach, flexibility' conversation. And then, um head bump?
Seriously, it's barely a romance at all.
ME2 romances are split into 3 categories:
Best Friend Sex (Tali, Garrus)
Sexy People Sex (Jacob, Miranda)
Damaged People Sex (Jack, Thane)
Every single one of those romances just feel like a giant cliche to me. They don't feel real to me. Liara, Ashley, and Kaidan all developed this real love for Shepard that matured over time. ME1 relationships don't fit into a neat category, they feel natural.
It just doesn't feel like love to me. I guess you could make an argument for Thane and Jack but I feel more like psychiatrist than a lover. Like I'm just filling a void for them, not curing them.
