I'm laughing myself silly reading this thread. Now I want to contribute something to the discussion. The foe yay trope seems pretty popular here, so I asked my Shepards how they feel about it.
My Sheploo pointed out that the enemy will stab you in the back if you let them too close. The fate of the galaxy is at stake, so he can't take risks. Also he says that he has too many enemies and not enough allies to prefer the former to the latter. He enjoys lighthearted trysts with the allies he can trust. After someone does a thorough background check on their past and their political views.
(He's a tad cautious after the people he thought he knew changed beyond recognition during the two years of his absence, and it turns out that he doesn't know them at all. So he never assumes that he knows a person now. Recon first, hugging later. Maybe it's cold, but it beats looking like an idiot by greeting someone warmly and getting a bullet in response.)
He also pointed me to the rule of Evil Overlord: "No matter how attractive certain members of the rebellion are, there is probably someone just as attractive who is not desperate to kill me. Therefore, I will think twice before ordering a prisoner sent to my bedchamber."
My Femshep got misty-eyed when I brought this up. TIM is the only "foe" she's interested in. She still refuses to believe that TIM is now the enemy. She keeps blabbering something about the Reapers - bah, it's going to get her killed, I just know it. She needs to get her priorities straight and stop being so focused on the Reapers - ME3 makes it clear that Cerberus is a bigger threat. However, she has no problem with gunning down VS doppelganger, should it come to this.
On the topic - one of the things I find most attractive about TIM is support. TIM is Shepard's only true ally against the Reapers. It's tragic that it had to change.
