Lieutenant Ashley Williams was born in 2158, and this means that she is a youthful 27 years old in Mass Effect 2, and probably the same age in the sequel game.

The date with Ashley is a true lock-in point, so it blocks you from all others, including Miranda's, but Miranda's final lock-in point isn't until Horizon. That's why you can reaffirm your relationship with Miranda in the apartments, then make things permanent with Ashley, but not vice-versa.

Locking In Ashley

From this point, you'll have several interactions with Ashley to help lock her in as your Romance Partner. This is the point where those who didn't Romance her in Mass Effect 1 will be able to for the first time in 3.

You can't start a romance with her in ME2 but you can keep the romance in ME2. Although I dont think anything you will sya in ME2 will effect the romance. But ti is said that if you do not ''cheat'' on your ME1 love interest then this will have its effect on ME3.

Yeah, you can. I heard a certain choice involving her can screw your chances. ^ Well that certain choice should be "obvious" as to why it would screw your chances... During romance starts, don't just go with bottom left.

A Romance with Tali progresses based on you talking to her, completing a Mission or Assignment, then talking to her again. So what you need to do is save at least two Missions or Assignments to do afterthe Suicide Mission, so that the Romance can progress as normal.

She never joins your crew, you meet her on horizon and she says she can't bare to open up the old feelings again, then mails you that she was wrong and she missed you, and don't die on her again.

You can still be with Ashley if you romanced someone in ME2. Every romantic interest has a "lock-in" point during the game. Ashley's lock-in point comes about two-thirds into the game so as long as you don't lock-in anyone else before then you'll be fine.

Also, your previous romance doesn't affect your options in ME 2. You can still romance Ashley and go after Tali in ME 2 with no repercussions.
