In one of my more "recent" playthroughs (recent being relative, I think I finished ME2 on this character late last summer) I decided that I was going to save off on romancing anyone in ME1 and then romancing someone in ME2.
Over the course of my playthrough of ME1, I tried to be friendly to all of my squad members. My idea was that this was going to be a Shepard who started off relatively paragon but then followed a typical "good guy gone bad" story arc. I shot down(or at least thought I had) romantic advances from Liara and Ashley.
Trying to be the nice guy at the beginning, I never yelled at Ashley for being out of line for her flirting, but I also never encouraged a romantic relationship. To my surprise, Ashley showed up during the Normandy lockout at the end of ME1. By this point, my good guy had started going bad and he immediately flipped out at  Ashley.
I was a little less surpised when Ashley showed up in my bed chambers the night before the Ilos mission. But, wanting to remain single for ME2, I shooed her out and she went to her bunk quietly.

ME2 begins, Shepard is much angrier this time around, and Anakin's fall to the Dark Side begins. Everything was going smoothly until Horizon when Ashley showed up and started going on about love and our night before Ilos. She even sent me the email. I was very confused(though I realized it was probably that ME1 just checked off completing the love story just for your love interest showing up that night). I'm all for women claiming that I've slept with them, but I would at least like to have done the deed first.

I was going to romance Tali, but going pure Renegade by the midpoint of ME2 led to failure on her loyalty mission(and subsequent death in the suicide mission). I ended up romancing Miranda and actually sleeping with my love interest this time around.
At first I was somewhat annoyed that I would have to deal with a love triangle in ME3 on this character, but seeing Ashley pine over something that didn't actually happen may let me see her character in a completely new light, if only for one of my many playthroughs.

Anyone else have an accidental love triangle? Does anyone from Bioware know(or are allowed to comment on) whether these unintentional love interests will be handled differently in ME3?

LOL That's Hilarious!

As you no doubt have figured out by now, kindly showing the way out to whomever shows up in your cabins before Ilos does not cancel a romance. To prevent the romance you must select specific dialogue options. For Liara a simple 'I just want to be friends' will suffice. For Ashley you have to call out to her that she's out of line and then tell her you're not interested in her. For kaidan I think it's roughly the same, never romanced him so I do not know.

From what I can gather, ME3 will be different. There will be no new romances UNLESS you specifically state you are interested in this character. This should prevent any accidental romances as well.

What Robhuzz said. Simply rejecting the sexual encounter does not mean the romance has worn out. For all intents and purposes, you're still involved with that love interest.

For future reference, the scene at the lockers is the exact final point you can break things off with Ash to have it take. If she shows up at your room, its considered a romance even if you turn down the sex.

You can test this in ME2 by checking for the picture on your desk. If you break it off at the locker scene, no picture.

you could when you get grounded by the citadel and your character returns to normandy near the lockers. I chose the not now, then i said take two steps. This made it cancel out my relationships. It showed the cutscene as if they stand alone, Although it might be a minor glitch as kaidan/Ashley still stands there. But when imported to me2 there was no picture in Cabin and the Li from me1 says what they would if you were friends. This is what i did if i wanted a clean import for me2 and if i didnt want to start over from me1

Sorry if it don't make sense

That's what baffled me before Ilos; I thought I had broken things off at the locker(I told her to back off, but I don't remember the "Take Two Steps" line, which could have been where I messed up). Though there really had been nothing to break off, Ashley and I had even managed to avoid the "after this is all over" line of conversation.

I've romanced Ashley on a number of playthroughs and had worried about accidentally breaking things off with her before the romance scene(in those playthroughs). I was surprised that neglecting to yell "You're out of line!" at her in a single conversation(and apparently missing the "Two Steps" line) had led to all of this. Hence it all being accidental, at least in my Shepard's eyes.

[chibievil]

well the take two steps is on the renegade option (the very bottom right). i tested these and it has worked on 2 playthroughs. I accidently loaded a no romance character instead of romanced ashley character and i didnt want that. (my completed me1 files are very confusing, but i sorted it out. All top files are romanced files and the bottom files are no romanced characters)

My game is confusing but its just the way i like it

If you get a letter from the VS in ME2, the game has you coded as being in a relationship with the VS.
(In one of my playthroughs as a femShep, I kept Ashley alive. There was no possibility of a romance, and she didn't write me after Horizon in ME2.
