It doesn't suit a lot of the characters. I'd say maybe less than a handful would have the kind of personalities that would admit it, or feel the need to speak it.

Jack, for instance. I don't imagine her confessing undying love to Shepard, but i imagine her showing him at every turn just how much he matters to her.

Same with Miranda. I couldn't actually picture her saying the phrase.

I think Tali, Liara, Thane, Kaidan and perhaps Ashley are the ones I can see doing it. Jacob already has.
With Jack, Miranda, Garrus it'd just be out-of-character.

Jacob is only one that says "I love you".

But nobody loves him.

That wasn't romance, that was a hookup.

"The priiiiiiiiiize." Seriously?

Miranda's romance is pretty much a hook up as well. Cerberus personnel jsut want to keep things casual, I guess.

Doesn't Jacob only say he loves you when he's being rejected?

Sounds like a last ditch attempt to me.

Admittedly: Never done his romance.

I think the "I love you" thing was a last ditch attempt to get in her pants when she tries to reject him.

Edit: Gah, ninja'd word for word, almost. A pox on you, ninja!

That's possible.

I agree with this.  For instance, I can picture Jack saying something like "I hate you!", but meaning I love you, if you get what I mean because I don't see her being comfortable with saying those particular words at this time.  Maybe sometime in the near future for the couple, but not right now.

Liara does not need to say it at all imho, a blind nug could see she loves Shepard with all her heart.

This.

With Liara it isn't really necessary. If Liara was romanced it is quite obvious that she's in love with Shepard, whether or not she says it.

Personally I'd rather most of the characters don't tell Shepard that they love him/her. If not done right it could quite easily turn that scene into something cringe worthy. None of the romance dialogue should be overly schmaltzy.

Agree, I don't even picture Liara saying I love you, not after her actions in LotSB; so many changes. But I think Shepard could say it in ME3, at some point. 

How about an Easter Egg where Shepard tells one of the LIs that he or she loves him/her, and gets a smart alecky "I know" in reply.

I think saying "I love you" is kind of forced after basically having sex and then a suicide mission. Perhaps at the end of ME3?

Also, I think you actions should dictate whether you get that answer, not just if they are LI or not. If I helped Garrus in ME1, did the Paragon ending for Sidonis in ME2 (which would "change him" for the better), and helped out the best I can with healing mommy Vakarian, then ya, F!Shep deserves it.

True, Besides that, they never had much time to create a full romantic relationship.

I mean, in worst case something like this might happen: Last LM before going through Omega-4-Relay is Miranda's LM. After doing this you just need to talk her some lines - then have her in your bed. Just a couple of hours, maybe days from "He's my commanding officer and I'm loyal since TMI told me to do so" to "Shepard is sexy and I need to blow of steam" - not enough to me for any "I love you" lines.

There is no real development of a romantic relationship. Basically, any of those characters you share your bed with could be "one-nighters". With exception of Garrus & Tali - both could have developed feelings in ME, but never told anyone of them.

There is, however, a chance you might develop these romantic relationships in ME3. I hope so.

[Mhgasa]

Actually miranda does say "what hormones thought this was a great time for love" which does imply that its more to her than relieving stress. As far as saying "i love you", I think that actions say it much better than words in a story like ME.
I generally thought the post SM dialogue left alot to be desired for all the ME2 romances, would have been nice to be able to either consolidate or walk away from the relationship.

Frankly, I'm glad that a lot of the LIs don't say it. There are other ways for them to show that they love/care for Shepard than saying it.

Idd.

@OP: Depeche Mode are still right.

And honestly, I prefer Liara doing all the stuff she did for my Shepard "because she couldn't let go" instead of "I love you."

[MegaBadExample]

I think only the human Love interests should say "I love you."
That's just me.

There are those of us who have made FemShep's for Jacob and really like his romance-arc   

He has several points in the romance in which he expresses how much it means to him. In the beginning he states that he would like to keep it light. Then after a while he admitts, "you know what get's to me, you". And another fav-line of mine "It's you, it's all you". To finish it of with I love you.

But there is no problem if you don't like him, it's a game and I guess that Jacob-romance-arc just wasn't meant for you. Hmmm.... I hope that all the LI:s get the same kind of attention to the romance that Jacob has gotten, appart from some of the VA of FemShep's part, because there are a lot of things that I like in it and would be happy to see in other romances as well. That Jacob asks about FemShep, how she's doing. That you can get a hug and a kiss from him everytime you go by him after the SM. That's a little more fun than Garrus saying that he remembered what you talked about and I wish that the rest of them had gotten a scene like that. Liara also when my Shepard went by her after LotSB. The long gradual build-up of the romance, it's done over some 3-4 conversations. Wish that Garrus could have gotten that as well, so there are many things that I think that they did right with his romance.

Hmmm.... as far as him wanting to take it slow in the beginning. He already had a ex on the Normandy, Miranda. He also has Kasumi looking at him, and FemShep. For a guy that doesn't want drama there is every possibility of drama in that situation. If it doesn't work out with FemShep he would be working with two ex:es on the same ship, both of them above him in rank, how many of your exes would you like to work with at the same time, lol. I don't really blame him for wanting to take it slow in the beginning. But I think that it makes it all the sweeter when he really does falls in love      =)

And just because I'm such a sucker for romance   =)

[Aeowyn]

While I have to admit that the Garrus romance wasn't one of the best written ones in the game, the thing I enjoyed a lot was the fact that if you hadn't recruited him in ME1, you couldn't romance him in ME2.
And that, for me, added more to the whole "friend becoming something more" - feeling that I loved with his romance.

Nah, Tali would choke on her own tongue, drown in the nervous sweat and twist her own hands off before she could get the words out.

He only says that because you're taking The Priiiiiiiiizeee away from him.

That's one interpretation, but it's not one I agree with.  Jacob isn't the type to rush into things.  His romance is a minefield of rejections.  He can friend-zone you if you're not careful.  This is basically the opposite of other squadmates, who will jump your bones if you're not careful.

He even says he'd rather not "one-night" the commander.

[Labrev]

 Not sure what I want in the way of "ilu" with Jack. I don't feel like she has to say it. If anything, I think it should be Shepard to do it.

What I love is my running-joke of a romance with my Troll femshep's Liaramance. ME1, I simply state that "There's some attraction between us" and she's like "I knew it!" For the rest of the way I show no affection and pretty much treat her like crap, but she's still all over me. I'm even cheating with Kelly rofl.

I loved Jacob's romance, and I was really sad to see how many people didn't give him a chance because of all the b.s. surrounding "the priiiiize". There were so many other aspects of it that were brilliant and wonderful to me. It was great that he didn't instantly fall at Shepard's feet, professing his undying love like pretty much every other LI. Jacob wanted to take things slow, and make it count, and that's awesome.

But, to each their own.

I liked Jacob alot but I couldn't even get to the Priiize line. The awful lines Femshep uses talking to him border on sexual harassment in the workplace. I couldn't deal with them.

It helps to mute Shepard and just read the subtitles.  Poor Jacob.

True, femShep acted like she was in heat while talking to him. Why, Jennifer Hale? Why? I blame her.
