If you're worried about being alone but want the 'best' ending where Shepard lives, I recommend just playing with random people on bronze. It doesn't take that much effort to bring up your TMS with MP, and you get 3% galaxy wide readiness for each match you finish on bronze. With the assets I got in SP, I'm assuming that the 60% readiness I had in MP did SOMETHING.
Though the math of it confuses me, since according to my assets alone, I did gain enough support from war assets I collected.
Also, turians are fun to play.
As a Kaidan romancer myself, I think it's in the eye of the beholder, it was meant to show their connection and intimacy with each other. Kaidan was just more shy about it than Garrus was, who was more open with Shepard (Though to be fair to Kaidan I suppose, he hasn't had sex with her in roughly 3 years).
I'm disappointed they removed the 'smolder' scene with Kaidan though, that had me SWOONING in the script.
Oh well, at least there's Garrus and his date scene...
I've noticed there are specific differences between Garrus and Kaidan, or other romances. In the end, I think this amounted to their relationship. Kaidan, to a point, still feels like a honeymoon stage.
Garrus felt like they were bondmates, partners. Deeper than simply, husband and wife or boyfriend and girlfriend. Open, accepting, trusting. There is no need for flowers, wine, chocolates. They simply... are. It is not an easy thing to explain. It's like when you can sit beside each other, doing your own thing, without it being awkward.
I mean, Garrus' idea of a date with Shepard was shooting bottles on top of the presidium. Judging by Shepard as her own character, rather than what we have influenced her, I thought that this was perfect, and showed Garrus knew Shepard, who she was and how she was and what was a great way to burn off steam.
Garrus's sex scene, he simply asks her if she'd like his company, and is not fussed or built up over it (There was a comparable difference between the ME3 and ME2 scenes, Garrus was awkward and adorable in the ME2 one, yes, but not in a bad way. That kind of 'fuss' was rather because it was new to them.), like the ME1 sex scenes, or the scene with Kaidan in ME3. After their bonding, he lets her rest while he takes care of work, helping take a load off Shepard's shoulders.
To put it in a simpler term... Making love does not always have to result in you waking up in their arms. Sometimes the sweetest thing to wake up to is your partner taking care of things for you. Making breakfast, taking care of the kids, cleaning up, etc.
To me, that's what makes Garrus' romance so wonderful. It simply... is. There is no drama, no 'does he or she REALLY want me or love me', even with the war going on and even IF Shepard had an ME1 romance with Kaidan (Have not seen or done an ME1 Liara romance, so can't comment on that). Garrus simply trusts Shepard, and understands if being with him in such a way is too much, but he doesn't let it effect their friendship, or the way they must be on a battlefield.
EDIT: Oh dear, I rambled quite a bit. Erm, here, have an apologetic picture.
