I'm not sure the whole thing can be blamed on lack of initiative. They have to have tons of down time on the Normandy. And I talked to Tali dozens of times when she had nothing new to say. And Shepard doesn't come across as someone who lacks initiative for anything he wants.
Not telling her has to be rooted in either being scared of rejection (unlikely for Shepard,) or not thinking there is a chance for a relationship (more likely.)
True, but the fact still stands that it did not happen. I was quite disappointed, too, because I liked Tali much more than I did Ashley or Liara. Tali often seemed very happy to speak to Shepard, so in my first game, I did think she was an option. But what has been done can not be change, besides, I thought hers along with Garrus were the best romances in ME2.
